Currently each device i track gets an icon on the top next to sun and weather …

Take a look at groups.

You have to add a view for that in the groups.yaml

For example you can add modify the default view with the following entry (you have to add the other groups to the default view, because when you modify the default view it will only show the specified groups). or you can change the view name to: devices to add a new tab in the header like I did for every room.

groups.yaml

default_view:
view: yes
icon: mdi:home
entities:
- group.trackeddevices

and after that you have to specify the group itself:

trackeddevices:
view: no
name: Devices
entities:
- device_tracker.entityname1
- device_tracker.entityname2
- device_tracker.entityname3

hmm, i tried that, but then all my current panels dissapeared (switches, weather, automations) …

seems like if i use groups i need to define my whole UI ?

or did i do something wrong?

default_view:
    view: yes
    icon: mdi:home
    entities:
    - group.trackeddevices

trackeddevices:
    view: no
    entities:
      - device_tracker.marjeta
      - device_tracker.peter

if you edit your default_view you have to add all your panels into that view. try using a custom view name first like device_view: instead of default_view so you will have a new panel in the header.

ok i went forward adding all my panels to default view, some issues i encountered:

  • adding group.switches_all or group.automations_all to the entities list of default view has no effect ? is there a way i can show this whole (predefined) groups ?

  • the order in which i list the entities under default view seems to have no effect … how can i enforce the order ?

and by the way, you guys are amazing, i was expecting to wait a day or two before getting my answer, this was just the best!
