Light Entity Card

Got the card working, looks great!
Just wondering is there a setting in HA or the card when using the slider to update while moving?
Currently it only sends a change on commit or release of the slider.
Just feels clunky having to release the slider for an update/change in intensity to occur.
Sorry if this is not a card related question and is a HA specific question.

Looks like the wheel is gone after 21.7.x HA upgrade :frowning:

which version of light entitiy card have you installed? new ist 4.4.0
i will test it.

I cant find any problems.
i am now on core 2021.7.1 before updatet it,

  • came from 2021.6.6
  • updated the Light Card from 4.3.0 to 4.4.0
  • restart HA
  • updated core 2021.6.6 to 2021.7.1

for me it works all well.

Same her, but only on desktop and tablet. Phone is running :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I have a problem with the color wheel showing as well. This happens with WLED devices. I have a Shelly controller that does display the color wheel ok, so my assumption is something changed in a recent WLED update (WLED is version 13, Light Entity Card is 4.4)

The color wheel doesn’t work for me either. Is it possible to add preset support?
Card version is 4.4
Wled version is 0.13.0

The newest version added support for the new color_modes attribute as a fallback. I’m seeing WLED entities that still use the old supported_features attribute (which is fine) but that value does not add up to say it supports color wheel. supported_features & 16 is the operation to see if your entity supports color wheel. If this returns zero then according to HA, that entity does not support color wheel.

Not sure if there’s something you need me to confirm or what here. The card was displaying the color wheel fine in WLED version 9. I tried backing WLED down to version 12 to no avail. If there’s anything I can do to help, please let me know as I miss the functionality of this card.

can you paste your entity’s attributes?

Interesting the color wheel show here

Hi @ljmerza! Thank you very much for your HA card! I am having trouble to set up a group of two lights to be controlled with a single card (so that setting color, brightness, etc… is done once for all the lights on the group). I have them grouped in my groups.yaml like:

Color lights:
  - light.cooking_side
  - light.painting_side

Then I set up a card using group.color_lights as entity, and select the following attributes:

  • Show color wheel / temp / picker
  • Smooth color wheel
  • Show Brightness / White Value
  • Consolidate entities

However, instead of a single control for the whole group… what I obtain is only a card with a name and a switch (“Lampes cuisine” in this picture)

light_group

What am I doing wrong? Or is this something I will not be able to get?

I noticed a strange thing. When consolidate_entities is true, I can not see the color wheel in the mobile app (android, I don’t have iPhone). But I can see them in a desktop browser, mobile browser, iPad browser, iPad app. Happens in both Lovelace and popup view.

Has anyone else noticed this?

You should use the light.group and not the group.

You’re absolutely right! thank you very much!

Hello,

Since I have upgraded to HA 2021.8.x the white value slider does not show up anymore. If I roll back to 2021.7.x it comes back…
Is there something that I can change in the configuration to address this?

I absolutely love the card !!
Merged it with the RGB Light card to have the conditionals color pickers

Would there be any possibility to add the slider background to the color_temp ? I think it might be good feature :slight_smile:

Hera ya go :wink:

I was curious, so I looked inside the .js file and noticed color temp variable. You can easily theme this stuff. Just add this to your theme.yaml and reload themes using the service call. No hacking or editing the custom card needed :slight_smile:

ha-slider-background: 'linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(165,201,241,1) 0%, rgba(255,255,255,1) 50%, rgba(254,151,7,1) 100%)'

Is there a way to enable a default transition for color and brightness fading on this card? I have some lifx bulbs and they change instantly when changing the color or brightness. I tried just adding transition: 1 to the bottom of the custom card but it doesn’t seem to follow the transition state

ha!!! so simple but it works instantly!
thanks
