🌻 Lovelace UI • Minimalist

ptmuldoon · April 2, 2023, 12:22am

I am hoping to give Minimalist UI I try, but am already off to a rough patch, and can;t seem to figure out where my mistake could be,

I’ve started by following the excellent youtube video greated by Lewis at the wiki. I already followed his video for mushroom, and now looking to try Minimalist.

But I can’t seem to get started. I’ve installed it, but get stuck at the point off adding in the welcome card and it just return a blank dashboard. I setup the helper toggle, setup the custom card folder and custom card. Everything looks correct from a folder and file path perspective, just a blank dashboard.

The yaml code looks correct from what I can see. But would an extra space someplace or something cause a blank dashboard?

I’ll give it another try tomorrow with some fresh eyes. But for now, I’m just stuck.

Edit. Found the typo. It was missing " - " in referencing the include.

Hi,
I have just installed Lovelace ui minimalist but it seems to be a bit buggy?

j3tang · April 2, 2023, 3:25pm

I think if you are referring to the lines around the cards, it’s because you need to set in your profile the theme to be one of the minimalist themes.

Paulus_Handke · April 2, 2023, 3:47pm

Yes. I have set the theme to the minimalist mobile theme but the border lines are still there

ptmuldoon · April 2, 2023, 6:43pm

I am still new with Minimalist, so unsure if its a coding issue on my end or other.

I am trying to get either the Expander Card or the Collapsible Card to work with Minimalist
//https://github.com/Alia5/lovelace-expander-card
or
//https://github.com/RossMcMillan92/lovelace-collapsable-cards

I can get both of those to work and show up on my PC in a web browser. But then both of them also give an error on my mobile device of “Custom element doesn’t exist”.

Why would it work in the web browser but not on the mobile device?

I am also having a lot of difficulty getting this working, and see the same issue sometimes.

About 90% of the time I refresh the page, I get “Custom element doesn’t exist” errors, but it varies which element is missing. Sometimes it is all elements, sometimes it is only some.

Other times, everything loads but with incorrect styling - as you are seeing.

Very occasionally, it all loads correctly.

Hi @Freshhat ,

Love your Tesla card. I wanna try to integrate it for my Model Y but templates are missing
Is it possible to share all the components needed pls ?

Thank you !

Freshhat · April 5, 2023, 5:08am

Which templates are missing? In the end i only use the standard templates which came with minimalist UI

It looks like v1.3.0 fixed most of the issues with this release. Thanks!!

I do notice theres still an issue with the tapbar for the minimalist-ios-tapbar theme. The hamburger menu lines and the “…” show there while it should only show the “tabs”. Wonder what changed that would require a theme update?

basbrus · April 5, 2023, 9:38pm

The hamburger menu is added as there were some rumors within the beta that the swiping to get the sidebar could be deprecated for the ios-app. For now at least you are able to show the sidebar

PS; Due to the changes to the header in the frontend this was the quickest method to get everything working.

finder39 · April 5, 2023, 10:18pm

Gotcha. Yeah its a bummer as it used to be the perfect width for a 5 page tab bar (image attached). Now I’ve got to rethink bottom layout.

The “…” is here to stay for now too?

mrhedgiee · April 5, 2023, 10:42pm

Just updated and the mobile tapbar isn’t sticky to the bottom when I scroll anymore. I’ve tried uninstalling the iOS app to clear cache and also clearing cache on desktop chrome browser. Any ideas?

billyjoebob999 · April 5, 2023, 11:01pm

Any ideas why room cards would disappear after the update? No error, just missing.

Andras · April 5, 2023, 11:18pm

Same here, but I can see the error message: it refers to the active state variable added to the default.yaml in the translation folder.

I’m using the ESH room card, which doesn’t require an entity, I think this explains the problem

billyjoebob999 · April 6, 2023, 12:48am

After the HA update all my cards had errors but after doing to the UI-m, card mod update and clearing the cache the errors went away. Now that i’m home im getting the same error as you

Below is my code for one of rooms if someone sees anything I’m over looking

    - type: 'custom:button-card'
      view_layout:
        grid-area: b8
      template:
        - card_room
        - grey_no_state
      name: Garage
      icon: mdi:garage
      tap_action:
        action: navigate
        navigation_path: 'garage'
      variables:
        label_use_temperature: false
        label_use_brightness: false
        entity_1:
          entity_id: cover.garage_door
          templates:
            - yellow_on
          tap_action:
            action: toggle

dsvdglenn · April 6, 2023, 6:54am

Having the same issue since update, anyone ideas?

EDIT:

After digging in the .yaml theme file of minimalist-ios-tapbar.yaml
I added an extra position fixed argument below line 35

  div#view{
    transform: initial;
    padding: 0 !important;
    position: fixed !important;
    margin: 0 !important;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100% !important;

Maybe a fix that can create other issues but this temporarily solves my issue.

RS53 · April 6, 2023, 7:05am

Same issue. 2 room cards are visible, the others give an error

majorhector · April 6, 2023, 9:44am

Same here. Same problem after update. I use minimalist-mobile theme but I see the top bar that was previously hidden

majorhector · April 6, 2023, 10:37am

I think I have resolved the problem of the top bar…but after the UI update trough HACS I see a black bottom bar that cut out part of the view
