Help getting started with UI-Lovelace-Minimalist

hey all,

New to HA dashboards and wanted to give UI-Lovelace-Minimalist a try. I am trying to follow this tutorial to get it setup (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0fMt8IRKoI&list=PLHCmYWBoMir-iFsAeatdl_xY1kTKdGPV3&index=3). After installing the integration, I also installed all the pre-requisites listed here Installation - UI Lovelace Minimalist.

After restarting HA, I see 2 dashboards by the name “UI Lovelace Minimalist”. Below are some of the errors I see when I click on them

1st Dashboard

Custom element doesn’t exist: button-card

type: custom:button-card
template: card_title
name: Congrats with your installation 🎉
label: Explore some of the wonderful 'Minimalistic-UI' cards we offer here

Custom element doesn’t exist: auto-entities

type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  type: grid
  columns: 1
  square: false
card_param: cards
sort:
  count: 1
filter:
  include:
    - domain: weather
      options:
        type: custom:button-card
        template: card_welcome_scenes
        variables:
          ulm_weather: this.entity_id

And a few more similar ones…

2nd Dashboard

Custom element doesn’t exist: grid-layout

type: custom:grid-layout
title: home
icon: mdi:home
path: '0'
layout:
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr
  grid-template-rows: min-content
  grid-template-areas: |
    "main popup"
  mediaquery:
    '(max-width: 1100px), (orientation: portrait)':
      grid-template-columns: 100%
      grid-template-areas: main
cards:
  - type: custom:layout-card
    layout_type: custom:grid-layout
    layout:
      grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr 1fr 1fr 1fr
      grid-template-areas: |
        "text text text weather weather weather"
        "welcome welcome welcome welcome welcome welcome"
        "title1 title1 title1 title1 title1 title1"
        "card1 card1 card2 card2 card3 card3"
        "title2 title2 title2 title2 title2 title2"
        "card4 card4 card5 card5 card6 card6"
      mediaquery:
        '(max-width: 800px)':
          grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr
          grid-template-areas: |
            "welcome welcome"
            "person person"
            "title1 title1"
            "card1 card2"
            "card3 card4"
            "title2 title2"
            "card5 card6"
            "card7 card8"
    view_layout:
      grid-area: main
...

I have verified that config/custom_components/ui_lovelace_minimalist/cards/button-card/button-card.js exists. Can I get some pointers to debug this?

TIA

Hi Team

Experienced the same issues April 2024

I am a newbie also and just run through the guides myself. I suspect there was a change to HACS integrations with later releases. Do any dashboards now only need to be configured manually through YAML?

There is no feedback to this thread so has no one tried this also?

Thanks in advance

I have just installed this UI and I also face these missing cards.

I am in the same boat…any solution so far ?

The errors says, that some cards are not, or not correctly installed. In the case of the OP that would be these three:

These are not correctly installed, why, I can’t say. :slight_smile:
