Hiding Automations Card

Hello all. Is there a way to hide the Automations card in the default states page? I definitely don’t want the kiddos to switch my automations off and on all the time. Thanks!

Are you using groups.yaml yet?

If you include groups.yaml in your configuration.yaml then nothing will automatically show up.

I’m using groups.yaml with no mention of my automations and they are showing on their own card still. Thanks.

You have to add the default_view and add your groups to it. When you add default_view nothing will show up until it is added.

Then you can add more views which create tabs next to the HOME tab.

Ah, now I see what you mean. Thank you very much!

No problem!

Someone knows how to add this new card “Automations” into a custom view (tab)?
What’s name?

Create a group(s) for automations, put automation entities into the group(s).

Create a view for automations, put the automation group(s) into the view.

I have 40+ automation processes and +30 scripts, I would like to hide all of them by one command, let’s say insert a “hidden: true” just under “automation” and the same for “scripts”, but now it is not possible…
Otherwise, when open the HA from a mobile device, the first page takes some time to load and most of the time is useless.
The actual solution is useful for debugging but time consuming for moving from development to live system.
Also it is a bit confusing: why is mention here “True” while in the customization section is used “true”?

Thanks. Can you provide sample code how to group all_automation on a separate tab please? I’m using group.yalm. Code below is not working.I’m new to all this, trying to migrate from Smartthings. Thanks in advance!

These are all “Views” (Tabs)

I believe you have to keep the default view, but I cant quite remember.

After you create “Views” You can go and create groups.

You can put entities_ids directly into the view if you want.

Both views and groups are in the group.yaml file.

#Views

   default_view:
      view: yes
      entities:
        - group.uber
        - group.server
        - group.cameras
        - group.iss
        - group.weblink
        - group.presence
        - persistent_notification.1234
        - group.time_date
        - group.alpr
        - group.finance
        - group.admin_cmd
        - group.google_calendar
        - group.mold

    derickhome:
      name: D&M's
      view: yes
      entities:
        - group.living_room
        - group.bathroom
        - group.office
        - group.bedroom2
        - group.basement
        - group.outside
        - group.caution
        - group.d_gd
        - group.power_monitor

    weather:
      name: Weather
      view: yes
      entities:
        - group.weather_cams
        - group.wu
        - group.sun
        - group.airq

    alarmview:
      name: Alarm
      view: yes
      entities:
        - group.alarm
        - group.fast_lights
        - group.slow_lights
        - group.doorsensor
        - group.multi_sensor
        - group.alarm_components
        - group.siren

    automations:
      name: Automations
      view: yes
      entities:
        - group.auto_script

Example of the first GROUP in the DEFAULT VIEW

If you go back up you can see that group.uber is in the default view…

uber:
  name: Uber
  entities:
    - sensor.uberx_price
    - sensor.uberx_time
    - sensor.uberxl_price
    - sensor.uberxl_time

Awesome! Thank YOU!

No Problem!

An alternate solution

  customize_domain:
    automation:
      hidden: true

This would put a blanket hide on all automations correct?

Yes it will.

The image is broken. Can you provide the solution again please?

This doesn’t work for me.

2018-02-26 16:01:51 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Invalid config for [group]: [automation] is an invalid option for [group]. Check: group->group->customize_domain->automation.

I can’t manage to hide that section, may someone provide an up to date solution please?

@Sikosis It says right there what you have done wrong, this config is not group config.
