Lovelacecard: button. Possible to have same GUI for lightgroups?

Configuration
1

Hello,

I have a lightgroup with one light.
If I use the button card on my lovelace interface for both, I get:

As you can see:

  • the light has the possibility for changing the brightness directly on the card
  • the lightgroup doesn’t have this

Is it possible to have the same GUI for the lightgroup?

kind regards,
Bart

What is the point of a light group with one light?

What card are you using?

What is the point of a light group with one light?

That’s not the point. Even with more than one light this behavior occurs.
And the reason why I want to use lightgroups is to have an abstraction layer between my lights and my automations. By using a lightgroup, I can address all my automations to the lightgroup. If a bulb needs to be replaced, or a bulb needs to be added, I can just change the members of the lightgroup and everything still works.

What card are you using?

As mentioned above: the “button card” :

OK, solved.
You can’t do it in the GUI, but I changed it now manual:

was before:

      - type: light
        entity: light.my_n00_gang_light_l07_hanglamp
      - type: button
        tap_action:
          action: toggle
        entity: light.group_gang
        show_icon: true
        show_state: false
        show_name: true

is now

      - type: light
        entity: light.my_n00_gang_light_l07_hanglamp
      - type: light
        entity: light.group_gang

and looks perfect now

Sorry I reread and saw button card. I played and couldn’t get the brightness circle control even on an ordinary light.

So the secret is to use a light card not a button card.

Yeah, just my fault: I used “button” on lightgroup and “light” on single light. That’s the difference. If I use “light” on a lightgroup, it appears just the same as a single light.
So “problem” solved.
