šŸŒ» Lovelace UI ā€¢ Minimalist

I do not agree (especially since once you fix it, it will not come back again - even after any future upgrades I do not think). As there is an open bug listed in github so it will get worked on eventually - I have also asked them to fix the bug but it is easy - find the file custom_components/ui_lovelace_minimalist/manifest.json, and simply remove the aiofiles==0.8.0 line, restart Home Assistant, and it works again.

Do you try that?

Getting an error " Set temperature action was used with the target temperature low/high parameter but the entity does not support it." when trying to manually turn up my climate device ? anyone got any ideas ? using the standard thermostat card.

It is my understanding that UI-MINIMALIST no longer is actively supported and nobody has offered to take over the code base. This is very concerning to me as I use this heavily, but do not have the time to be the maintainerā€¦

Any takers?

Itā€™s unfortunate but Iā€™m not surprised. I noticed last year around Oct. there didnā€™t seem to be much support happening. Thatā€™s when I decided it was time to move away from UIm and I transitioned over to mushroom cards. My UIm dashboard consisted mostly mushroom cards so it made sense to move over completely. Hopefully someone(s) will pick this up but it may be time to start looking for alternatives.

this fixed it.
considering there is no progress of the project, maybe its time to move on from it.

Yes I understand but thereā€™s nothing better as far as fitting everythjing onto the tiny phone screen - or is there?

Hi !

in the discord server, someone as offered to keep the project alive.
From what i saw, he is now admin of the GitHub depo, so, still alive !

Hi all,

I am unable to scroll the dashboard whilst using the mobile tapbar theme on my Galaxy S24 using 85% screen zoom.

Any ideas for a fix?

Thank you

Issue with color of map. On my ui minimalist dashboard I am using the person card (I think that is what it is called) which shows a map with the personā€™s location if you tap on it. I have the dark theme for everything but then the map is impossible to read because the whole thing is so dark. How do I change just the background color of only the map to white (or at least make it less dark), regardless of the theme? In a browser looking at the properties, it shows the person. In the phone app it does the same thingā€¦ ?

in home.yaml -

cards:
      - type: 'custom:button-card'
        template: card_person

Is it buried within one of the ā€œulm_card_person_###ā€ properties as a setting or is it not exposed (I want to leave everything else dark except for the background of the map)?

just got new phone and installed HA on it, everything seems to work fine except for dashboards that have UI Minimalist elements. Any ideas?

You have to give more detail - ?

all the cards on the dashboard associated with the theme throw an error:

Custom element doesn't exist: button-card

all other devices view the dashboards correctly (previous phone, wifeā€™s phone, wall panels and tablets, web browser on desktop)

This happens occassionally. The quick fix I have found is to go into HACS and just re-download the ones it says are missing - my card bundle, browser-mod etc.) This ALWAYS fixes the issue. (For me anyway!) So one you would need to just click on the download button is button-card for example

thanks for the suggestion!
I looked for HACS and found that it was completely missing.
Further searching indicates thereā€™s a bigger problem that kicked in since 2025.1 so definitely not a UI Minimalist theme problem.

Yikes. I have never run into that one-

my solution was to install HACS (not sure why it ended up being removed after the last update) then I went into Settings > Devices and Services > HACS > Configure > Deselected ā€œEnable AppDaemon apps discovery & trackingā€ ā†’ Submit ā†’ hit the three dots button near ā€œConfigureā€ and select ā€œReloadā€ ā†’ do the same thing but now ENABLE the ā€œEnable AppDaemon apps discovery & trackingā€ setting, and reload once more.
This fixed everything for me, hope it works for you as well.
