@ASNNetworks Can you give me a hint how you installed it? I can’t find it in HACS currently.

ASNNetworks · October 24, 2020, 9:13am

It was in HACS for me. You are adding it with the plus sign right? I notice people don’t always use HACS correct and use the search bar instead, which only shows stuff that’s new or already installed.

stupid me, Missed the Orange “+” button in the corner and tried to search in the top Search field. All sorted, thanks anyway,

Yes, that’s what I said But you figured that out as well and posted that right after I did.

Hi,

Still a newbie to home assistant. I’ve managed to install the card and display it, and turn on/off lights using it, but I’m struggling to get the color picker to show! Is this working for others?

CDRX2 · November 28, 2020, 2:09pm

Did you set color_picker: true in your card config?

bilz · November 28, 2020, 2:35pm

I did. I guess it works for you then

CDRX2 · November 28, 2020, 3:04pm

Yes, with HA 108.4.

I’m using this Custom Card for Fibaro RGBWM441 Zwave controllers, and notice that when the lights are off, the card displays in Lovelace as:

Home Assistant 04

But when the lights are on, I see:

Is this expected behaviour?

I’m using Version 0.118.4 on HassOS 5.5

Read the ReadMe of the component.

Use persist_features: true

gcoupe · December 4, 2020, 7:12pm

Aha - thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for the card.
It works great, but when I select an effect I get this error in Home Assistant:
Scene ‘’ not in scene list.
But the effect is going to my Wiz Light so it works.
Any idea how I can get rid of this error ?

Regards,

Bart

Anyone aware if there’s a an option for -name: xxxxx to use an alternate name than the underlying entity name?

reste_narquois · December 29, 2020, 5:01pm

Isn’t that just the header setting?

Markus99 · December 29, 2020, 6:11pm

Not that I’ve seen? Here’s my current card:

Here’s the config:

So really trying to drop the ‘Room’ from the name, and not use the ‘Friendly Name’, but this name as overwritten ui-lovelace.yaml:

ljmerza · December 31, 2020, 4:31am

set consolidate_entities to true. i really want to rewrite that whole header code but it would be a breaking change…

Markus99 · December 31, 2020, 3:10pm

I just renamed the underlying entity in HA. Looked and saw I really don’t ‘use’ that friendly name anywhere else (this is one of the only places that can’t use the name: override), so no big deal. Certainly not trying to put more work / breaking changes on anyone!! Love the card and grateful for your work on it!

Hey everyone

I was wondering if there is a way of always showing the color wheel even when the lights are off

Since I am here, what about changing the placing of the white or brightness sliders. For example to the bottom.

I would really love to always have the card with the same size and features even if the light is off. This way I can start specifically where I want instead of starting in my last point and then change

gcoupe · January 3, 2021, 9:46am

I already asked about persisting the color wheel further up in the thread, and got the answer:

Brian_Reis · January 3, 2021, 6:57pm

Oh, much appreciated, I must have missed it
For some reason I had this coded to false, but don’t recall reading it
