How can I rearrange the sensors line?

Configuration
1

Hi all,

I’m just taking my first steps with this great home-automation frontend (and more). I’m working with mqtt sensors (from fhem). Everything what I want (till now) is shown on the state page (first line), but I can not rearrange the sensors :frowning: It only depend on the name (alphabetical ordered). Is there a way to change that? I know, I can goup my sensors, but then, they disappear from this overview line.
I need to move at least the yr sensor …

Best regards

After you group devices do you add that group to the default _view?

You can’t rearrange these on the first line.
What you place in a group will be shown into the group and not in the first line.
What isn’t placed somewhere is by default shown into the first line.

thanks,

but how can I create this circle look when I move the sensor to a group ? The display of the sensors within a group is diffent as in the first line. Is there a way ?

I don’t think so :disappointed:
Perhaps should it be a feature request?

You might not be able to use the exact icon that HA uses, but you can use something that looks better.

If you use customize.yaml in your configuration, then you can make the icons whatever you like including gifs.

If you are not using customize.yaml yet then you must add it to your main config directly under time_zone:

Like this…

Create a new file called customize.yaml.

Then you can do the following…

Go to google images and search for keywords that are of interest. Below I searched for circle icons.

https://www.google.com/search?q=circle+icons&espv=2&biw=1438&bih=834&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiahJiwwJvPAhUM64MKHeLoBUkQ_AUIBigB#q=circle+icons&tbm=isch&tbs=isz:i

Make sure that up at the top you click on SEARCH TOOL and drop down the SIZE filter. Click on ICON.

Click on the image you would like to use and then click view image. Right click on the image and select copy image address.

Open up the your customize.yaml

make an entry for each sensor (entity)

sensor.my_temperature_sensor:
  friendly_name: Oven Temperature # Optional
  entity_picture: http://plainicon.com/dboard/userprod/2803_dd580/prod_thumb/plainicon.com-46137-256px-10b.png # Icon Address of your choosing.

You can also use icon: in place of entity_picture: but you will have to use the mdi:icons

Restart hass and they will show up.

@PtP: thanks a lot! I will try it that way

kinda cheeky, but if you want a sensor to be first, you can put a period in front of the friendly_name. the font is small enough that i find it barely noticeable.
