I want to show a group entity inside an existing card (group), but when I add it, it shows the group as a separate card on it’s own on my Dashboard.
Here’s the group entity (Someone’s Home) shown inside another group that I do want to see
And here’s the card (group) on my Dashboard that I
don’t want to see
I’ve tried adding this script when Home Assistant starts, but it also hides the group entity I want to see
- service: group.set_visibility
entity_id: group.someone_is_home_homekit
data:
visible: False
And I've also tried adding this under customise but that didn't work either.
group.someone_is_home_homekit:
hidden: true

That’s HA working as designed. You can’t show a group inside another group.

Oh! I thought I’d done this with some wall lights a while ago. I guess not!

Seems like it should be possible to create an input_boolean or a template switch with automations that turn a group on and off.

Yes, it would
I don’t really need to switch it on and off, it’s an indicator for showing if anyone’s home or not.
So I think I’ll create a template sensor to show that instead of the group switch
