Lovelace with custom_ui tiles

Configuration Frontend

Hi,

I’m switching to the amazing lovelace, all I miss now it’s how to include my tiles groups I’m using in default view based on: Custom UI: Tiles

Any thoughs?

Did you find any solutions? I would also like to use tiles with lovelace.

if you put tiles entity in glance card, it will show as value “unknown” but when you click it there are tiles

Did you figure out a solution?

You guys can emulate the tiles with an image and the picture-entities card. Other than that, you’ll probably have to wait until @eddi89 makes a version that works in lovelace. I don’t think the .css would change much but the .js would because the configuration is different in lovelace. I could attempt to do it, but it would take a while (couple of weeks) because I need to learn .js and .css.

yes, as @petro mentioned, i switched to use the picture-entities, actually it allows much more customization.

Care do share a screenshot and maybe a code snippet?

check out the docs. You’ll have to make your own images, then place the elements on the image. The following link shows all sorts of example cards and the yaml with them.

This is awsome!
Is it possible to add name under the icon?

11

Yes, but for now you have to use this custom element for it: https://github.com/custom-cards/text-element

I could have icon and the text? Or do I have to choose between?

13

@INTEL, You can make your icons already with the text…

14

Thought about that, but adding text with state like @teachingbirds linked would be awsome

15

State as text you can get natively but not just whatever text you want, for that you use the custom element.

16

So, is it possible to get icon and text in the config like @radinsky posted?

17

What are you trying to do exactly? Just add a title?

18

I’m trying to add title under every icon if possible

19

Why don’t you just add the title to the image?

Or you can add a service call button with a dummy service.

That’s actualy a good idea, and place dummy service under the image!
Awsome, thanks!
