Homekit Infused 5 (HKI) v2023.1.3

If you could show me your code I might take a look at it. Been a long time since I have used that though.

Seems related to declutter… Will investigate that first… Seems when you have multiple buttons in a row, it doesn’t display… Single buttons do display

Same problem here.
Quick menu showed in climate page, dissapeared in everey other page

You both are talking about the 3 button menu I once had right? Which was on top of each view? I can’t really help much without code. Also note that I haven’t used decluttering card since oktober of last year. Many things might have changed. I can however always take a look for you.

Though note that I can’t give support for each version I have released in the past simply because too much has changed between 0 and 2.

Do you also still use declutter card? In declutter topic other people have issued too

It’s indeed the 3 button, indeed related to declutter…

What about your headers with markdown and notifications? For me they load sometimes verry slow, after 5 sec are visible… I thought 110 should improve :blush:

I don’t use decluttering card anymore as I have shifted towards lovelace_gen. The same goes for markdown cards. I only use markdown cards without styles as they otherwise take way too long to load. I can only suggest removing border radius and box shadow if you want better performance. Or alternatively use a button card to mimic the markdown card. This should be relatively easy.

In my personal setup all notifications are done with button card now.

And I use markdown merely for instructions

Indeed, time to move on :wink:

Nah if it works it works I’d say. But if you want to create notifications with button card I can tell you that it is dead simple. (If you need help with that I can help). For the quickmenu though… I’d need to know what happened with decluttering card and I’d need a sample of the template as I don’t have them easily accessible anymore.

Edit: though you’d miss out on all the new features like a super easy to setup interface. Personalised day/night cycle. Make changes without the need to restart. Scrolling notifications. Device counters and the ability to assign any type of entity as a badge inside of buttons. Easily create a frontpage layout with the built-in edit mode. Automatic creation of automations, battery and scenes views (no config required). Addons created by the community (you can find beautiful addons created by @noodlemctwoodle here ). You will get perks like easy updating with usually only a few folders to replace. You’ll get custom views and custom areas on existing views in where you can create either fully customised views/cards or use the preinstalled widgets which can all be setup in the UI any of the code used in those custom areas will survive all future updates! You will even get a notification if there is an update and you can check the current version against the latest within the UI. The best of it all is that every change made in the UI is instant and in realtime (you could even open a second browser to see it happen). And many other great improvements.

Settings Screen:

Edit mode (used to setup a frontpage layout):

About screen to show if you have updates (hacs updates will also be shown here in the future):

Or what about an easy vacuum control?

Or homekit style climate controls?

Homekit style popups:


And for all this all you’d need to do is the initial installation. Setting it up is the easy part!

For everyone following this thread, Custom Header has finally been fixed. This means I can move forward getting HKI 2.0.0 ready for a public release. This will be released in the upcoming weeks. For those that can’t wait can still download the current beta. The current beta will get an update beginning next week which will make HKI compatible with HA 0.110.x.

Current beta testers can simply update to the public version. No need to reinstall like was the case with releases prior to 2.0.0. If you are still running beta 1 to 7 I will urge you to update to beta 10. Read the release notes of each patch to be sure you get all the new config. Most beta’s can be easily updated with the exception of going from beta 7 to beta 10 (it requires slightly more work, trust me not too much :rofl:).

Thanks all for the patience as this project has been in beta for quite some time now. Videos and instructions on how to install will follow after the release. The current betas are pretty well documented and you should not have any trouble installing this.

Cheers

Hi @jimz011 since we can have multiple dashboards is it possible to switch between HKI and my current one or will everything be overwritten?

It will be possible. You can either have a storage (ui controlled lovelace) or a yaml dashboard. HKI can run as second dashboard (it is currently also the default setting).

Keep an eye on the docs which I will change soon on how to do this.

Great, looking forward to it!

Hello jimz011
just started with HA a month ago and your HKI was big inspiration to start, its really nice layout =)

still just play with standard HA to learn it before i wanna move to HKI.

been looking on your github code for hki, but couldnt figure what card are you using to create that picture, home status, battery and mail?
i made home status with a “Picture Entity Card”, but not sure how i can get those icons you have in left/right side with battery status and such :smiley:

can you point me in right direction to what i need to use to do so?

It is actually a picture elements card.

Maybe this will help?

yes that was perfect thank you so much :smiley: also made me need to learn picture-elements :smiley: guess that will be usefull later when doing a floorplan =)
