Thanks Tom, that was a big help.
Is it possible to use entity attribute as a secondary_info option?
Iâd like to list all the automations with last_triggered addition.
I followed the instructions from the initial post, but if I add a manual card and enter custom:monster-card as its type, it shows
Cannot read property âincludeâ of undefined
{
âtypeâ: âcustom:monster-cardâ
}
I cleared the cache and restarted HA. Itâs Hass.io 0.88.2, I use GUI configuration mode for Lovelace, not YAML (as apparently itâs impossible to use GUI in yaml mode).
Any idea on how to get it to work?
UPDATE: got it, that way it says that I need to add filter and then include inside it. Duh⊠
Iâm having the same issue. media-control cards donât seem to work with monster-card or auto-enteties custom lovelace cards.
Did you ever find a way to get them to work?
Monster-card and auto-entities alike work on cards which have an entities property.
They put several entities into one card. They cannot be used to create several cards.
But not any card that has the entity property. Is that correct?
@Jokerigno I use auto-entities by @thomasloven to do what youâre trying to do - works a treat.
# Show all active media players
- type: custom:auto-entities
show_empty: false
filter:
include:
- domain: media_player
state: /playing|paused/
options:
type: custom:mini-media-player
artwork_border: true
artwork: cover
hide:
icon: true
card:
type: entities
# title: Now Playing ...
show_header_toggle : false
It uses mini media player as rows on an entities card, all the config can be entered once in the options section of the auto-entities card. I was previously using entity-filter on an entities card, but that meant individual entries with all the config for each possible media player. This is much cleaner and easier to maintain.
No, not every card has the entity property. And not every card has the entities property. auto-entities/monster-card work only with those that have the latter.
But @eggmanâs suggestion is a great workaround!
Iâm sure it would require a creative solution, but would it be possible to use auto entities in sections of an entities card? I have an entities card with 4 section labels (representing buildings), and Iâd like to populate each section with filtered entities that correspond to that building. I know I could just use separate cards instead, but that is not my preference.
you could use a single vertical-stack-in-card with 4 separate auto-entities & entities cards. Itâd look like one card (unlike the standard vertical-stack).
Although, youâd probably have to use titles for section labels and theyâd be too big (IMO)
Yeah, thatâs my concern - I prefer the smaller text of the section labels versus the card titles.
Based on the example here, it seems something like this could be possible. It looks like entity rows could be passed to the âcardsâ property? Unfortunately, I canât quite seem to make it work.
Looks like it should work. Iâm constantly amazed by the flexibility of lovelace, what cards can go where and how they interact. Can make for some very complicated setups though.
Great solution! Thank you!
@thomasloven - Thoughts on this? Is it possible to mix section headers and auto-entity lists in a single entities card? Your example is based on your custom fold-entity-rowâŠcan this be done with standard entity row types?
I havenât really thought of it before, but sure, why not.
Add a special include filter for the section, and have it look for a single entity that you know exists (which one doesnât matter), then put the rest of the options under options:
type: custom:auto-entities
filter:
include:
- entity_id: /light/
state: "on"
- entity_id: sun.sun
options:
type: section
label: Sensors
- domain: sensor
state: ">5"
card:
type: entities
Awesome! Thank you so much for the example - this is a huge help!
I canât get my auto-entities card to work. Using custom updater to ensure latest of card-tools (ca9579) and auto-entities (e957ab)
See this in chrome console. Advice?

Could someone point me to a guide on how to âinstallâ monster card?
Iâm using lovelace but, I where do i find ui-lovelace.yaml? Itâs not in my /config.
Do i need to create it?
Iâ ve read this, but if i do it, do i need to write all my UI in yaml? or i can just enable it to enter the js code?
Thanks in advance
