I am using UI-Minimalist that currently has the home page looking like this. Note the circled line:

Screenshot_20240821_180222_Gallery
Screenshot_20240821_180222_Gallery1440×2821 164 KB

it either says what is showin in the photo or “Mailbox not opened today” or “Mailbox top opened today at…” (this is reset at 12:01 every day by HA to “Mailbox Not Opened Today”.).

It is just using door sensors on the top and bottom mailbox doors. Often when wallking into or out of the home, I just check the mailbox - and if there is nothing there, then it says it was opened of course. (When walking by, why check my phone!?)

That encircled piece of text is actually a navigation chip as I need it to be tiny.

So here is my issue. If I have opened the mailbox and there was no mail, I’d like to change the message somehow - by double-tapping on the chip (or a TINY one next to it) to change it’s text to something else (maybe “Mailbox indicator reset”) - or possibly just open and close the mailbox door in rapid succession twice to have HA reset the message (?).

I am having trouble making the chip change to a “reset” message when I tap or double-tap on it - I don’t think it has that functionality available in the configuration for the chip to call a script on a double-tap?

Ideally I would like to be able to change that text two ways - by double tapping on it OR by doing something at the mailbox - which would be ideal… I think I can work through code for the mailbox opening and closing 2 or 3 times in rapid suscesion - but if I forget I’d like to do it on my phone right on that same UI as well (if I am not near the mailbox and doing it later)…?

(Unless someone can point me to a very inexpensive infrared beam setup to put within the mailbox that would say mail is is actually present or not instead of relying upon the doors? Maybe a presence sesnor on the surface where an object would lie?)

Added later:

(I am starting to lean towards a more sophisticated solution that will only tell me mail is in the mailbox if there really is something in the mailbox. This would require 1. ir or 2. ultraviolet or 3. a very sensitive weight sensor - and the entire thing needs to use very little power (batteries) and still be able to talk to HA…)

Thoughts?

Hi guys,
I’m kinda new to all this but Im getting an issue with the “default cards” . I have button-card & UI Minimalist installed, however I get the below error when using a template.

When I try to add the line at the start of my dashboard, Im assuming to “call” the tempaltes ie.
button_card_templates: !include_dir_merge_named “…/…/custom_components/ui_lovelace_minimalist/ui_minimalist/ulm_templates/”

I get this error

As I said bit of a newbie in learning how to put these things altogether, but this is driving me a lil mad.

Im using HAos as a VM, if that makes any difference.

Got this sorted, not a fan of double posting but just in case others come up against this issue.
Its to do “I think” with trying to create the dashboard in UI mode when it needs to be configured in pure .yaml. So I just used a text editor and edited the default minimilaist Dashboard.

Good evening everyone,

does someone have the frigate card implemented in their minimalist view?

This is the code I use for the card, but is only says custom element doesn’t exist: frigate.card

    - type: custom:frigate-card
      cameras:
        - camera_entity: camera.eingang_generisch
          live_provider: ha
          title: Eingang
          icon: mdi:cctv
          hide: false
      view:
        default: live
        dark_mode: auto
        update_force: true
        scan:
          enabled: true
        update_cycle_camera: true
      menu:
        style: hidden
        position: left
        buttons:
          frigate: {}
          substreams:
            enabled: true
          media_player:
            enabled: false

Hi. I have 2 questions.
First, I wonder if I need to install “Simple_weather_card” for using minimalist weather card? If “Simple_weather_card” is not installed i see next error

Screenshot_20240920-181854
Screenshot_20240920-1818541080×569 37.1 KB

But in file explorer i can see file simple-weather-card.js in /config/custom_components/ui_lovelace_minimalist/cards/simple-weather-card
Am I missing something?

And second one. Why on screenshot I provided all cards have grey border?

Hey guys,

How do I change the Dashboard name?

image

If I try to change it in the integration I get an error, and it seems to kill HA and HA restarts???

Anyone had this, or know how to rename the dashboards?

Thanks guys

Hi guys a couple questions -

  1. I have an older UI-Minimalist that I have built up and built up, and I see some people try to update the dashboard in the UI. I would assume that would never work and of course I get error messages when I try to do the same. If I start fro scratch is there now some way to have that configurable in the UI (I wouold think not?)?

  2. I have a cover in ui-minialist for my garage door; is there a way to put code for a condition in place, triggered by the click, to disallow it opening, such as if it is clicked while I am not home for exacmple? I know how to do all the coding but not where or how to insert the condition. As a workaround, is there a way on the fly to hide or disable that cover in UI-minimalist depending end upon some condition (such as my location)? The only way I can think of doing this is to remove the cover and place there instead an up and down button and write the ‘click’ condition and actions myself (which I can easily do but it is a hassle)… Anyone have an elegant solution to this?

There is a lovelace restriction card but I do not know if it would work with UI-minimalist…? Lovelace Restriction Card - Client-side Security

Hello,

I am new with HA so I created my first dashboard using this Minimalist UI, I edited some things in the theme file (/config/themes/minimalist-desktop/minimalist-desktop.yaml) however it seems like all changes made to this file will get reverted upon server reboot, is there any way how to keep these changes permanent? I did not do much changes just edited some variables and added stuff

I searched around and apparently you can override stuff in the themes file by making a custome .css file but I dont know where to start doing that.

Thank you.

Hello,
In my case, the data is located in the directory “\config\UI_Lovelace_minimalist\ui-Lovelace.yaml”.
As far as I know, your path is a sample file and resets itself on restart.

Pleas read the Documentation to UI Lovelace:
