I haven’t upgraded yet, I’ll do that soon and look into any issue that shows up.
I think my error turned out to be an issue on my end. Seems like when you upgrade, you have to redo the nest integration every time (I think that someone else has called that out before).
Hi @kuuji, it’s working great at the moment, so more of a feature request really. Would it be possible to allow custom sizing and padding of the buttons please?
For example, this screenshot in my post here: Custom UI: Tiles and another where I created custom graphics with no padding between borders: Custom UI: Tiles
Thanks!

Hello,
short question:
is it possible to activate a Scene via a button?
because my script:
- type: "custom:button-card"
entity: scene.tv
icon: mdi:television-box
name: TV - Scene
color: rgb(28, 128, 199)
only sends a toggle command which is not usefull here, or?
how can i send a simple “scene_on” with this entity?
because:
- type: "custom:button-card"
entity: scene.fernsehen
icon: mdi:television-box
name: TV - Scene
color: rgb(28, 128, 199)
action: service
service:
action: scene.turn_on
is also not working^^
Thx for help
This is working for me:
action: service
service:
domain: scene
action: turn_on
data:
entity_id: scene.lampen_aan

Exactly how I do mine too.
Thx, it worked for me now also.
One Question:
Is it possible to make the card compatible with Android Webview 59 (like in FireOS),
so it is displayed in the Fully Kiosk Browser on a Fire HD Tablet?
This would be awesome!
Thx Wiesl
I love this card, very useful.
Wish to have the following functionality, not sure if possible: basically I put a SCENE as the trigger, the SCENE turns ON some lights with a particular scene (brithgness, colours and so on); what would be nice to have is with a following click on the button to turn the LIGHTS off
I do not know if this has already been solved. I am using the button-card to create a panel for turning on and off lights. I would like the color of the icon to be the same as the icon lights would be in the theme I am using. In this case I am talking about the color of the lamps to the left in the picture.
I currently have the following setup:
- type: custom:button-card
entity: light.lampor_i_vardagsrummet
icon: mdi:sofa
name: Vardagsrum
color: auto
color_off: "#1DE9B6"
action: toggle
I assume I would have to use some form of ‘var(–xxxxx-color)’. I do not know which I should use.
I guess it should look something like:
- type: custom:button-card
entity: light.lampor_i_vardagsrummet
icon: mdi:sofa
name: Vardagsrum
color: "var(--yyyyy-color)"
color_off: "var(--xxxxx-color)"
action: toggle
Any help is appreciated.
Try something like this:
color: auto
default color: rgb(255, 233, 155)
Remove color_off
I do not know how to use default color. It is not an option to the card.
If I use color: auto I get white. No color_off gives me gray.
The theme is green when off and yellow that changes depending on brightness. I could off corse specify the green of the theme, but the it does not work when. I change theme.
@folrewef What type of bulb do you use? It’s possible that the card is unable to get the color of your bulb entities when you set it to auto.
If you want to set the color to a variable, it should totally work, as a matter of fact the default values for these are variables.
I’d recommend to dig in your theme to see what variables are available. Each theme can specify their own.

I just released version 0.0.3 folks!
You probably noticed that the original post here is not up to date anymore. Updating both readme and this post has been tedious so I decided to just post changelog here and update the original post with minimal instructions.
Most of the examples will now be on github only.
Thank you all for your feedback and a special thanks to the users that open PRs.
Last note. If you’re trying to contact me for a bug or a feature request, github is probably the best place 
Here’s the changelog for the new version

Thanks a lot @simbesh
You move fast! Can’t believe you had time to update and make a gif before I’m even done updating this post 
I would use an input-boolean that triggers an automation to do what you want.
On the automation :
- if
input-booleanis true then trigger the service that activates the scene - if
input-booleanis false then turn off the light.
Then you just configure the button-card on that input-boolean

@kuuji I use Ikea Tradfri. I have made progress. I have the following now:
- type: custom:button-card
entity: light.lampor_i_vardagsrummet
icon: mdi:sofa
name: Vardagsrum
color_type: icon
color: "var(--state-icon-active-color)"
color_off: "var(--state-icon-color)"
action: toggle
If the theme does not change it I do not need to change “state-icon-active-color”. In the two themes I use I have had to specify “state-icon-color”. This works well and adapts to my changing the theme. Only issue now which of course is an extra is that the lights show different colors depending on brightness, but using “state-icon-active-color” does not allow for that.
Compare the color of the cutlery with the lamps under “Lampor i matsalen”. There must be some way of defining the color the same way as it is done by default in the glance card.
I love the card by the way.
By the way - the tracker still states that it is version 0.0.2 that is available.
Thanks will try this.
Other suggestion please: I do have a button that triggers a switch, everything works fine. Problem is accidental presses that can occur swiping on the smartphone the page with the button in it ((the switch opens my external door and if pressed accidentaly its a big problem))
What can be done (keeping using the beautiful button, do not want to revert to a simple card)?
My url is wrong for the custom updater, it should be
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kuuji/button-card/master/tracker.json
As for light brightness, I do not support it right now. I only support colors. Spectrum of white are in a different format (at least for philips hue) and I also don’t support it at the moment.
Ok - I understand. I will change the adress.
One question. Do you need to support light brightness and or spectrum or do I need find out how colors are set for a light icon in e.g. a glance card?
