Hi everyone,
I’ve been working with Home Assistant for the past two years, experimenting with all sorts of different approaches.
I chose to have a very customizable dashboard (for many different reasons that go from experimenting to not wanting to be bound to any limitation), which is basically a custom grid, with a set of custom components.
I develop and maintain these and I’m quite happy with the flexibility it gives me to implement any custom behaviors quite easily. I can have any UI, call any service, and have any logic I pretty much want to.
Now, I’ve been actually trying to render an existing Lovelace card such as picture-entity
from within these custom components. Since it’s a very simple component with already some custom behavior I was trying to use it but then render some other options on top of/next to it.
Of course I’ve tried a couple of approaches such as just adding the HTML component or even dynamically generate it like document.createElement('hui-picture-entity-card')
.
Is this currently a limitation or is there any way of implementing this?
I’m currently hacking my way through the Frontend repository to dig deeper into how I could do this but any past experiences from the community would be greatly appreciated!
