Hi - brand new to HA in the past week. I’ve been researching as much as I can, but wanted to test a couple things here as it seems like there are some relatively recent updates and/or tools available to do things.
I am looking to make a custom card to show weather. I want it to be a combination of clock weather card and hourly weather card. I am trying to build a card that has:
- the top portion of clock weather card showing the picture/time
- a middle portion showing the hourly breakdown for the day
- a bottom portion showing the 5-day forecast
My planned approach is going to be:
- make a vertical stack that has 3 cards
- first card is a clock weather card (where I would modify to turn off the forecast)
- second card is the hourly weather card
- third card is a 2nd clock weather card (modified to only show 5-day forecast)
- Use Card Mod (or UIX) YAML adjustments to tweak for visual display and consistency
Some questions:
- Is the approach above the best/optimum way, or is there a better way other than repeating two of the same card into a single card
- I have come across both Card Mod and UIX, and it seems like UIX is the path forward, especially since I am new and have no legacy dashboards/mods. Accurate?
- Once I get that custom card build, I’d ideally like to be able to add another level of complexity where the card can be swiped, rotating through a couple of locations (home, ski hill, parents, etc.)…is that just putting a Bubble swipe card overlay and then nesting the above custom card for each location?
Sorry for the long post. Thanks in advance!
