Crack two:  I have definite changes, no errors, but still no control.  Here is the changes that allowed me to progress…
/config/configuration.yaml
homeassistant: !include include/homeassistant.yaml
default_config:
automation ui-automation: !include automations.yaml
automation: !include_dir_list include/automations
script ui-script: !include scripts.yaml
script: !include_dir_named include/scripts
lovelace:
  mode: yaml
#  resources: !include ui_lovelace.yaml
begging of /config/ui_lovelace.yaml
title: Home
views:
  - title: Status
    type: panel
    theme: Backend-selected
    badges: []
    cards:
      - type: vertical-stack
        cards:
          - title: Batteries
            type: horizontal-stack
            cards:
              - type: entities
                show_header_toggle: false
                state_color: true
                entities:
                  - entity: binary_sensor.ws_50_battery
                  - entity: binary_sensor.ws_50_battery_2
                  - entity: binary_sensor.ws_50_battery_3
                  - entity: binary_sensor.ws_50_battery_4
                  - entity: binary_sensor.ws_50_battery_5
Results: Overview is the default dashboard. No matter what I place in the /config/ui_lovelace.yaml file, it remains unchanged.
In the control panel
I can add another dashboard, it defaults to UI mode. Clarification, I have tried a single dashboard yaml in the file, I have tried !includes and various combinations but the default is the only one displayed. Additionally, as you could see, I rem # the resources line, as it caused errors on start and I have no idea what they are or where they would go… Thoughts?
