I have the same problem …
my home file is in config/ui_lovelace_minimalist/dashboard/adaptive-dash/adaptive-ui.yaml
my custom cards are in
config/custom_components/ui_lovelace_minimalist/ui_minimalist/ulm_templates/custom_cards
so what hast to be the link for me ?
hi put the cards in /config/ui_lovelace_minimalist/custom_cards thats where they belong, then restart minimalist UI, and reload the dashboard.
Is there a way to add these card from UI? Or do I have to create a yaml dashboard?
The color is already grey. So I tried a “return green”, but it didn’t change anything. The custom template is placed here : /homeassistant/ui_lovelace_minimalist/custom_cards/custom_color_icon.yaml
However I don’t think the location is an issue, as I would have errors in the view.
Actually even a simple code as below does not change the color. It is like it is not possible to override the button color…
I am also trying to change “custom_1” to amber in case the climate entity is actually in heat mode. But one step at the time…
custom_color_temp_icon:
styles:
icon:
- color: 'green'
Hi Thank you very much for the great work. I only discovered it today and am currently testing it a bit.
Apparently I don’t get any colors. not even when I turn on the lamps. Can someone take a look at what’s going wrong here?
your templates (in their folders) are stored here:
config/custom_components/ui_lovelace_minimalist/__ui_minimalist__/ulm_templates/custom_cards
so for the room template: config/custom_components/ui_lovelace_minimalist/__ui_minimalist__/ulm_templates/custom_cards/custom_card_andyblac_room/custom_card_andyblac_room.yaml
ui-lovelace.yaml:
---
button_card_templates: !include_dir_merge_named "../../custom_components/ui_lovelace_minimalist/__ui_minimalist__/ulm_templates/"
title: "UI Lovelace Minimalist"
theme: "minimalist-desktop"
background: "var(--background-image)"
# views: !include_dir_merge_list "views/"
views:
- !include home/main.yaml
Edit: Ok, got the sensors and entities in color, but the room card itself not. 
here the actual code I am using →
home/main.yaml:
# Wohnzimmer Card
- type: custom:button-card
#view_layout:
# grid-area: room1
template:
- custom_card_andyblac_room
name: Wohnzimmer
icon: mdi:sofa
tap_action:

navigation_path: living
variables:
ulm_custom_card_andyblac_room_color: red
ulm_custom_card_andyblac_room_color_on: true

icon: mdi:lamp
entity_4:
entity_id: light.steckdose_02
ulm_custom_card_andyblac_room_icon_color_on: yellow
icon: mdi:led-strip-variant
I tried to play around with these lines:
ulm_custom_card_andyblac_room_color: red
ulm_custom_card_andyblac_room_color_on: true
but cannot get it work.
Edit: ok, got it. Needed to set the theme in my user profile in the frontend of HA.
Hi, thank you for sharing this huge work !
I’ve installed everything and I’m trying to have an icon which change on state for my sensor.
I tried many solutions found on internet, but none of them worked.
Here is the actual (non-working) code :
- type: custom:button-card
template:
- custom_card_andyblac_room
name: "Ch Alice"
icon: mdi:bed
tap_action:
action: none
variables:
ulm_custom_card_andyblac_room_color: blue
ulm_custom_card_andyblac_room_use_small_label_font: true
sensor_label_1: sensor.0x08ddebfffef0f06d_temperature
sensor_label_2: sensor.0x08ddebfffef0f06d_humidity
sensor_label_3: sensor.rad_ch_alice_d_power
sensor_1:
entity_id: select.rad_ch_alice_d_pilot_wire_mode
tap_action: none
icon: >-
{% if is_state("select.rad_ch_alice_d_pilot_wire_mode", "comfort_-2") %}
mdi:lock-outline
{% else %}
mdi:lock-open-variant-outline
{% endif %}
...
For my test, I only check for one of the 6 modes. And this does not display any icon.
If I set a “regular” icon like icon: mdi:lock-outline , it works.
Any help would be appreciate.
Thanks
Button-card uses JavaScript templates not Jinja templates.
As said by dcapslock above, it needs to be done in JS. You can use entity states or attributes or a mix of them like I do for a thermostat
i.e:
custom_2:
entity_id: climate.thermostat_kitchen
icon: >
[[[
const preset = states['climate.thermostat_kitchen'].attributes.preset_mode;
const hvac = states['climate.thermostat_kitchen'].attributes.hvac_action;
if (preset === 'none' && hvac === 'heating') return 'mdi:radiator';
if (preset === 'none' && hvac === 'idle') return 'mdi:radiator-disabled';
if (preset === 'Energy heat') return 'mdi:leaf-circle';
return 'mdi:help-circle';
]]]
The same can be done with the icon color:
ulm_custom_card_andyblac_room_sensor_color_on: >
[[[
const attr = states['climate.thermostat_kitchen'].attributes.hvac_action;
if (attr === "heating") return "rgb(255, 80, 0)";
if (attr === "idle") return "rgb(221, 221, 221)";
return "rgb(221, 221, 221)";
]]]
Hello @andyblac
The latest update of the button-card (v 7…) no longer seems to be compatible with your custom cards.
As I would like to continue using your dashboard, I hope you might have a solution to fix this issue.
Thank you very much for your efforts and your great work.
Hi,
For the issue with the latest buttton-card, @andyblac posted a workaround here 7.0.0 Dev4 onwards breaks one of my cards. · Issue #1114 · custom-cards/button-card · GitHub , it worked for me.
Great, thanks. Do I only need to make this adjustment in custom_card_andyblac_room?
just pushed the fix to latest dev version here: GitHub - andyblac/UI-Minimalist-Custom-Cards at dev
Hey there,
just tried your latest push from the GitHub dev repository. But then I got a “missconfigured” error
edit:
nevermind… failed to saved the file correctly. my fault.
