Lovelace: Bar Card

Maybe I’m a bit slow or a sloppy reader, but is there a step by step set-up for this card? I have other custom cards set up. For hassio is it just that I need to drop the bar-card.js here \HASSIO\config\www\dist and then configure a relevant custom card ? Did I need to add some kind of ‘resources’ reference? Apologies if this is rooky Q or I’ve missed something (please point me to the info), but I couldn’t seem to understand the basic setup process from the run-down or scrolling through this thread. This looks super cool by the way. Thank you.

Edited: Figured it out. Added the .js to the directory above, added a resource like below, and then copied others examples for the configuration.

Again, not sure if I’m just blind/slow…

resources:
  - type: js
    url: /local/dist/bar-card.js?

Ho provato a non disturbarti cercando di configurare da solo Life360… se puoi indicarmi come hai fatto?
allo stato attuale sono registrato su Life360

I tried not to bother trying to configure alone Life360 … if you can tell me how did you do?
at present they are registered on Life360

How about having the ability to set the “max” and “min” to specific sensors too?

No idea on application for that right now, but maybe the max one can become useful somehow (not really sure about the min, but having the possibility allow more opportunity in the future ^^ )

Nessun problema, ma dato che si tratta di un componente diverso da questo topic direi di passare la conversazione nel giusto topic: Life360 Device Tracker Platform

Sicuramente una cosa da cui devi partire per poter passare al passo successivo della visualizzazione è l’installazione del componente, una volta che hai quel pezzetto configurato si può fare il resto :wink:

No problem, but because we’re talking about a custom component and not directly the bar card this topic is about, it might be better if we move to the right topic: Life360 Device Tracker Platform

First thing you need to do anyway, is to install the component so that you can access those informations, once that is done we can move forward to the card configuration :slight_smile:

Still fiddling a bit but pretty happy already…My mobile view.

I need some help.
I love the card in following my NAS drive statistics.
I have played with it for a few days but can not seem to get what I want.
I would love the card to show the following.
Color Green from 0-50%
Color Yellow from 51% to 75%
Color Red from 76% on up.

How do I do this with using the hues.
Thank you.

The severity can be a bit confusing, but this should work. The first value defines the color from the min value to the first value and so on. So the second value defines the color from the first value to the 2nd value etc. Hue is defined as degrees on a color wheel like this https://goo.gl/images/S2xYDi.

severity:
    - value: 50
      hue: '120'
    - value: 75
      hue: '40'
    - value: 100
      hue: '0'

Thanks so much, worked great.
I could probably have worked it through if I had the color wheel.

Some more updates in 0.1.1. You can now define an attribute to display instead of just the state.

  • added attribute config option
  • added unit_of_measurement config option
  • indicator config is now independant of animation type
  • code optimizations

Since update my bar-card changed. It seems I am not able to change it back to the original bars.


Anyone knows what is wrong?

There is nothing wrong. Change your width to 100% and it will be as before.

Some of this might be screwed up since I’ve reworked the CSS to flexbox. I’m currently working another big update that will allow for multiple entities instead of a single entity per card. I’ll add a fix to that release.

Release 0.1.2 adds the option to define a list of entities to display. This also works with auto-entities if you want to populate the list dynamically.

  • added entities config option, displays multiple bars based on entities list
  • added columns config option
  • title style can now still be defined when using inside title_position

@Plexat You should also be able to fix your alignment problems with these config options.

    title_style:
      text-align: left
    bar_style:
      align-items: flex-start

Hi,

I am trying to get this going and have the bar graphs displaying correctly; but they are not named; just show the % free. Any trick to get the friendly name displayed? I checked and the devices being displayed all have friendly_names assigned.

Code below:

  - type: custom:auto-entities
    show_empty: false
    card:

        type: custom:bar-card
        attribute: battery_level
        unit_of_measurement: "%"
        severity:
          - value: 60
            hue: '0'
          - value: 80
            hue: '40'
          - value: 100
            hue: '120'
        title_position: inside
        padding: 2px
    
    filter:
        include:
          - domain: zwave
            attributes:
              battery_level: "<= 100"

Ahhh! It seems that if the bar graph itself is in the foreground on top of the title; so it gets obscured.

This seems to be new in the latest release; and on all the bar components.

Update: Seems to be a Mac Safari issue. On iOS Safari it is rendered fine; and also on Chrome on Mac it’s fine.

Wow…you have been busy with quite a few updates I see…thanks so much for making this all possible.
I’ll post a screenshot once I have the bar card up and running.

Cheers Steve Wells

Can I make a feature request?
Would it be possible to show an icon instead of the title?

EDIT: Also, I am not a CSS expert, in fact I’m not even a CSS anything, but I can’t get card-style to change the background.

I’d like it to be transparent so that when I include a bar-card in an entity card it doesn’t ‘stand out’.

I’ve tried allsorts of combinations (and colours) like this:
Any chance you could give an example?
Unless of course I have completely misundersttod the use of card-style :roll_eyes:

                    card-style:
#                      paper-card-background-color: 'rgba(0,255,255,0.2)'
                      background-color: 'rgba(201, 76, 76,0.5)'
#                      ha-card-background-color: 'rgba(67, 73, 84, 0.6)'                                          # Card background colour

Icon support is coming shortly. Could you show me the problem you are having with the transparency?

@Gluwc Please see below. The top is from Safari on a Mac and you can see the titles are not shown; they are there but behind the bar. (see the 48% bar in the Mac top screenshot)

The second is from IOS Safari and all is ok.

Thanks
