I was installing a new thermostat and somehow wiped out my dashboard.
I recreated a new one but now it won’t let me delete the wiped out one.
Text editor time?
Thanks.
You can’t delete a dashboard that is the current one.
I can delete either the top or bottom one but not Overview.
Also if you edit and switch to the raw editor you can delete all content in the raw editor and it will revert to auto-generated for that one.
What do you mean by current? I made my new one default and it still will not let me delete the empty one…
Well I can’t get rid of the garbage one, but I renamed the new one and and it shows up like normal so I am good.
I upgraded Zwave recently and have found some of the entities from my zwave devices no longer show up on the dashboard. My door lock battery level still works fine but won’t show up in the sensor area anymore.
Until tonight I had a Honeywell Wifi thermostat but replaced it with a Honeywell Zwave. It has a working entity for humidity but it also doesn’t show up on the dashboard… I was trying to create a new dashboard to see if I could fix those 2 but somehow it wiped out my default one. That will teach me to not be in such a hurry.
It’s the one with the tick next to it in the screenshot
I moved the checkmark to another menu and it sill won’t let me delete it. I can hide it but not delete it.
Ironically -It will let me delete a check marked menu as long as it is not the messed up one.
I created an area last night for the thermostat and as soon as I did, the humidity status showed up automatically.
The same did not work for the battery level of my back door lock so I created a new menu, added it and then made it default. That worked just wish that menu would auto populate but at least it is working.
Hello, did you ever figure out how to delete it? I am running into the same issue after I set a new dashboard as the default. Even though the original one is hidden I am unable to delete it.
I’m in the same boat. I switched from yaml to GUI configured and the old yaml dashboard called “overview” cannot be deleted. I don’t want it for any user, so setting default dashboard to something else is not enough
If the dashboard you want to get rid of is in YAML mode, then you need to remove it from the configuration.yaml and make sure the default is no longer yaml mode.
For GUI dashboards, you cannot remove the default gui dashboard as that is the default entrypoint for new users, but you can open the dashboard in raw mode, copy and past all the code to the default dashboard, and remove the other one.
I cleared all the content of the “Overview” dashboard, so in raw mode I have this :
title: Smart Home Overview
views: []
Now I create a new dashboard named “Test”. When I go to that dashboard and I want to edit it, I get the message “Take control of the dashboard”. How can I open the dashboard in raw mode without taking control ?
It’s not clear for me, sorry…
If it is a default generated dashboard you are after, there is nothing to copy. If I’m correct, clearing out all contents of a dashboard in raw mode reverts it to an autogenerated one.
You are correct, that’s what I was looking for !
Thanks !
