His, I’m trying to setup my scenes in a glance view and would like to “activate” when I click on it. (instead of second window giving me the option)
Tried the “tap_action: toggle” but it doesn’t help much (I guess activate isn’t considered a toggle)
Any suggestion or idea to have this working as toggles?
my section in config:
- title: lumieres
icon: mdi:lightbulb
cards:
- type: glance
title: Ambiances
show_state: false
tap_action: toggle
show_header_toggle: true
column_width: 33%
entities:
- scene.haut_lumineux
- scene.haut_100
- scene.haut_relaxe_colorcycle
- scene.haut_relaxe
- scene.haut_dodo
- scene.haut_dodo_colorcycle
- scene.haut_off
- scene.soussol_relaxe
- scene.soussol_off
- scene.bureau_full_lights
- scene.bureau_relaxe
- scene.bureau_off
- scene.ext_on
- scene.ext_off
I think this might be related to the “service” parameter but not idea how to apply this to my setup and need here…
Any idea, if it’s not possible, I’ll stop trying…

You need to adjust your entities to have the appropriate attributes. See the entity documentation for glance cards:
- title: lumieres
icon: mdi:lightbulb
cards:
- type: glance
title: Ambiances
show_state: false
column_width: 33%
entities:
- entity: scene.haut_lumineux
tap_action: call-service
service: scene.haut_lumineux
- scene.haut_100
tap_action: call-service
service: scene.haut_100
- scene.haut_relaxe_colorcycle
tap_action: call-service
service: scene.haut_relaxe_colorcycle

tap_action: call-service
service: scene.ext_on

Thanks, I tried but I keep getting

change all the services to scene.turn_on and add entity: before each entity_id:
- title: lumieres

If it helps, my tap_action looks like:
tap_action:
action: toggle

I just found it indeed, thanks
so:
tap_action: togglebecomes:
tap_action:
action: toggle This however is NOT working:
entities:
- entity: scene.away
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: scene.turn_on
- entity: scene.morning
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: scene.turn_on
........................All my light go crazy when I try to execute a scene. It looks like it tries to activate all the scenes at once (cool party effect though ;))

It could be you still need to specify which scene to turn on in the service.
- entity: light.foyer_table_lamp
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: light.toggle
service_data:
entity_id: light.foyer_table_lamp
However if I removed “service_data” (comment out last 2 lines)

I tried the following:
cards:
- type: glance
title: Scenes
show_state: false
column_width: 33%
entities:
- entity: scene.away
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: scene.turn_on
scene: scene.away
- entity: scene.morning
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: scene.turn_on
scene: scene.morning cards:
- type: glance
title: Scenes
show_state: false
column_width: 33%
entities:
- entity: scene.away
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: light.toggle
service_data:
entity_id: scene.away
- entity: scene.morning
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: light.toggle
service_data:
entity_id: scene.morningBoth did not work. However, this finally works:
cards:
- type: glance
title: Scenes
show_state: false
column_width: 33%
entities:
- entity: scene.away
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: scene.turn_on
service_data:
entity_id: scene.away
- entity: scene.morning
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: scene.turn_on
service_data:
entity_id: scene.morning

I think this is really awkward. That you need to provide the scene again in service_data feels unnecessary, and there should be a better way, since this should be a pretty common thing to do.
One way to solve it would be to make turn_on one of the predefined actions in https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/actions/#action so that you could just write:
type: glance
entities:
- entity: scene.movie_time
tap_action: turn_on
But even better would be to make the `toggle´ action just do the right thing. Didn’t use to do that until recently?

totally agree, this is overcomplicated and a toggle should just activate a scene by default. perhaps you should create a feature request on github

scene doesn’t have a toggle service, nor do scenes have a state or a turn_off service. Making toggle impossible. so to elaborate:
In order to toggle, you need to know the state of a scene. I.e. Scenes need on/off state. This alone is a topic up for discussion because what dictates a scene being on. Is it that all the lights are on? Or is it that all the lights and their settings are met? Next, you’d need a turn_off service. But what happens when you turn off a scene? Are we assuming we just turn off what was turned on? Are users going to have to build the ‘scene’ being off?
Every time this is brought up in a Feature Request or a WTH, it’s met with technical difficulties that no one wants to agree on. This is why tap_actions are the way they are.
And for what it’s worth, the configuration that is a ‘solution’ that I posted years ago is no longer valid. Currently, this is the shortest way to turn on a scene through a glance card:
EDIT: REMOVED BAD INFO
This is the quickest way
- type: glance
title: Scenes
entities:
- entity: scene.xxx
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: scene.turn_on
service_data:
entity_id: scene.xxx

Worked for me, too. Thx. What I do not understand that the top most configuration works for some of the Home Assistant users but not for others like me.
I understand that both versions are supposed to be identical, but the second version works for me while the first one does not
For me also only the second version works … might have changed some behavior again?
