Amazing thank you, how can i get the newest version to run? in Hacs there is version 0.3.0. available. do i need to update HA to the newest version as well? Thank you for all that great work
It doesn’t need to be the newest version of HA, but I’d always recommend keeping upgraded to at least n-1 or n-2. (1 or 2 releases from current).
As for the integration in HACS, there are a lot of fixes in this release, so I would recommend everyone move to 0.3.0 as soon as they can, it’s a simple process. The current dashboard requires 0.3.0 for all features to work.
One last thing regarding translation. The integration was designed to support translation, but is only in English and Spanish at the moment. For anyone using this dashboard, that isn’t really an issue because the dashboard is doing all the translations that the users of the system see. It just means that when you do the configuration of setting up the system and inputting chores, that will be in English or Spanish.
I can’t get it to work. I installed the integration and went through it’s setup. I followed exact instructions but when I save the yaml for the dashboard it just shows an empty page. What information do I need ton provide in order to get assistance? Thank you.
The most common reason that happens is trying to paste the dashboard into a card rather editing and pasting at the view level, It’s a little confusing if you haven’t worked with the ui views much. Take a look closely at the screenshot and make sure when you paste that you are at the view level.
If it’s not working, take a screenshot of the full web page after you paste but before saving.
I’m assuming you created the two children in the integration? The dashboards are setup per kid, so you create a view/dashboard for every kid you create in the integration. If you look at the image in my last post, you’ll notice there are views for each of my kids. Does that answer your question?
