Start simple. We all did. There’s no use jumping in the deep end with complex templates and custom Lovelace cards when you have not yet mastered the basics.
Read the documentation, there are plenty of examples.
Thanks Tom
Installing HA and adding my devices is simple and don’t need much explanation. Installing add-ons is also ok. I think I am getting confused by the new Lovelace and the fact that lots of info isn’t based on it. And there will always be yaml of course to deal with.
Thanks again
I hope so 
Hi and awsome card, I have a newbie question when I paste the code in lovelace I get the error
Error: Custom element not found: tiles-card
Am I missing something?
Hi how do you implement this code? Where do you install it? Sorrry I’m really new to this and trying to understand
Yes you are missing the custom tiles card. However I would not recommend installing it as it has been unsupported for some time. A better choice is the custom button card.

Thank you!! Just a newbie question where do I put the button templates???
The very top of the raw lovelace config is a good place:
Note that there was an error in my card configuration. I have updated my post with the correct card config.
Also you will require this custom card for it to work correctly:
Hi iam Maxim! Iam from Russia.
Please help me. No work button
type: button
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: kodi.call_method
service_data: null
method: Input.Down
entity_id: media_player.kodi
hold_action:
action: more-info
show_icon: true
show_name: true
entity: media_player.kodi
name: DOWN
icon: ‘mdi:menu-down’
worked for me, thankyou for sharing!

Hello,
Since 0.115 release, the remote does not work anymore there.
Is anyone facing the same issue ?
Thanks
Have you removed your YAML Kodi integration config and added Kodi back using the UI?
Thanks for your reply Tom_i.
No, I didn’t, because -shame on me- i didn’t read the release page…
So, I have to remove the kodi integration from my configuration.yaml, and then add Kodi using UI, right (sorry, still nob there)
Thanks again
It is worth checking the UI integrations first as the update might have imported your kodi integration already.
Either way delete the kodi integration yaml and restart. Then add the kodi integration back using the UI or edit the one that is already there to remove any _2 from entity ids.
Ok, will do as soon as I am back at home, then give you the result.
Tanks Tom_i
kodi remote not working anymore on HA 0.115
