Try removing the first line decluttering_templates: from the included file. You already have that on the include line.

Hi, it looks like the project is not maintained. There is 27 open PR and maintainer is not approving them. Last release was more than 1 year ago.
Have anyone idea, how restart this project?
those are issues, not Pr’s…
but, decluttering is functioning properly mostly, so no need to update. It has its quirks, or should I say its own particulars. Even have an issue open myself 
Romrider has been busy and away from the project, but, if you have a true breaking change, I am sure he will have a look.
What exactly is your issue, maybe we can help?
Declutterring seems like a good idea on the face of it. I have six tablets around the house and they all share common layouts with probably 30% differences between each. Ie for light controls in that room etc.
Managing these is not great as I obviously have to make changes across all devices. I do have a lot of mods and custom cards.
Is using declutterring the way to go or are there lots of potential issues that will drive me insane?
Hi everyone
I have a few dashboards with several mushroom-template-cards embedded in picture elements cards.
They are working well so far but I would like to declutter them with your card.
Is there a way to set variables for the template and card_mod sections?
Below is a (non working) example about what I try to archieve:
decluttering_templates:
light:
card:
type: custom:mushroom-template-card
primary: '[[name]]' # Light
icon: 'mdi:[[icon]]' # mdi:brightness-5
icon_color: |-
{% if is_state('[[switch]]', 'on') %} '[[color_on]]'
{% else %} '[[color_off]]'
{% endif %}
card_mod:
style: |
ha-card {
--ha-card-background: none;
--icon-size: '[[icon_size]]';
--card-primary-font-size: 20px;
--spacing: 1px;
}
mushroom-shape-icon {
--shape-color: none !important;
}
views:
- title: Home
type: panel
cards:
- type: picture-elements
image: local\grey.png
elements:
- type: custom:decluttering-card
template: light
variables:
- name: Light
- icon: brightness-5
- switch: switch.test
- color_on: yellow
- color_off: white
- icon_size: 40px
style:
top: 80px
left: 100px
transform: scale(1.5)
font-family: Arial
PS: Thanks for all the great work and this massive support to be found here.
First issue is that your template is named light yet you referenced a template named date.

Hoppla, yes your right!
It was date before, → changed it to light for this post just forgot to change the second part.
Thanks, corrected the first post now!
Anyway the code is not correct this way.
And I just found this info:
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-decluttering-card/118625/352?u=rolandfran
So if its not possible to use decluttering variables inside templates the same will probably apply to card_mod too!?
Well, take this example right from my setup.
A decluttering template that uses variables inside a template:
game_stats:
card:
type: custom:auto-entities
unique: true
show_empty: false
card:
type: custom:layout-card
layout_type: masonry
width: 300px
max-columns: 5
card_param: cards
filter:
template: |
{%- for team in integration_entities("teamtracker") -%}
{%- if state_attr(team, "league") == "[[sport]]" -%}
{%- if states(team) == "[[status]]" -%}
{%- if state_attr(team, "team_homeaway") == "home" -%}
{%- if team in state_attr('sensor.nfl_red_zone','teams') -%}
{{{"type": "custom:teamtracker-card",
"entity": team,
"card_mod": {"style": "ha-card {\n\n color: black; \n background-color: #ffcccc; \n box-shadow: 0 0 10px 5px red;\n}\n"},
"home_side": "right"}}},
{%- else -%}
{{{"type": "custom:teamtracker-card",
"entity": team,
"home_side": "right"}}},
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- endfor -%}
exclude:
- entity_id: '*team_tracker*'
sort:
method: attribute
attribute: date
I’m wondering if there’s something I don’t understand or the documentaiton is wrong. I just installed Decluttering card from HACS and kind of got it to work (I can play around with it), but when I put this into my Dashboard YAML at the top (1:1 from the documentation):
decluttering_templates:
my_first_template:
default:
- icon: fire
card:
type: custom:button-card
name: '[[name]]'
icon: mdi:[[icon]]
and then I create cards with this code (also 1:1 from the documentation):
- type: custom:decluttering-card
template: my_first_template
variables: Default Icon Button
- type: custom:decluttering-card
template: my_first_template
variables:
- name: Test Button
- icon: arrow-up
…then the test button card works, but for the first one I get this:
It works as soon as I remove Default Icon Button or put it in a separate line beginning with - name: .
Is there something wrong with my config here or is the issue with the examples in the documentation?
Yeah. The docs are wrong. The first one should be
- type: custom:decluttering-card
template: my_first_template
variables:
- name: Default Icon Button
Basically, not defining the icon and using default.
I get a: “{“error”:“Not Found”}” on decluttering-card.js when trying to install it.
Hi there,
I have a question regarding passing LIST variables and use them in a template. I didn’t a solution this topic.
The best tutorial I found on passing variables was provided by @Ildar_Gabdullin , but passing a LIST and use that in a template was not addressed there.
So this example was provided:
The template
decl_test_var_list:
default:
- ENTITIES:
- sun.sun
- zone.home
card:
type: entities
entities: '[[ENTITIES]]'
- type: custom:decluttering-card
template: decl_test_var_list
And the card
- type: custom:decluttering-card
template: decl_test_var_list
variables:
- ENTITIES:
- entity: weather.home_met
name: Weather (home)
- entity: sensor.processor_use
name: CPU load
I tried a variation with the markdown card:
Template:
decl_test_var:
default:
- VALUE: xxx
card:
type: markdown
content: '[[VALUE]]'
card:
type: custom:decluttering-card
template: decl_test_var
variables:
- VALUE:
- tst1.x
- tst2.y
And that works!:
But any variation of content: to use the variable in a template fails:
content: "{{ '[[VALUE]]' }}"
results in:
Very strange I get the default?!
And
content: '{{ [[VALUE]] }}'
results in nothing:
Anyone have a suggestion how to catch a list variable in a template?!
Best Eric
“passing a LIST” - was described.
As for addressing elements inside a list or a dictionary - there were special remarks in my post for this.
I noticed that remark.
But I’m still hoping for a solution to get the list variable as a string in the template 
. From there I know how to proceed.
Really strange is that I get the default value instead.
I tried to process attributes as dicts / list - and failed.
Hard to say anything w/o a card’s author.
@Ildar_Gabdullin I will ask Tom, thanks for the great variable passing tutorial. It saved me a lot of time 
Pardon, who is Tom?
