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
#sensor_label_1: sensor.shelly_ht_temperature

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.
Hi there,
Since the last update of “UI-Lovelace-Minimalist” to 1.3.19, no card is working with the error “Configuration error”.
It seems it comes from the template “custom_card_andyblac_room”. If I remove the template, the card is displayed (but without all the stuff coming with the andyblac card of course, the error is just gone).
Does anyone has found a way to solve this ?
Thanks
There was an issue thread in button-card repo where the author of that template provided an update.
I made the only available update (UI-Lovelace-Minimalist), but the issue is still there despite the reboot of HA.
I saw a bug report for button-card, but which is now closed without any patch.
So, did I miss something ? Thanks
Did you see this? My Custom Cards for Minimalist UI - #299 by andyblac
Yes I did when it was because of the button-card update. I already applied this fix since many days.
This time, it’s because of the “UI-Lovelace-minimalist” update (to version 1.3.19). Since my first message about this issue, there was new updates of this addon, but none of them fixed this issue.
Hi Andy, just dropping in to say thx. Had to make some quick changes to night to keep the wife-approve factor at top level. your work made this so easy. thank you for saving my marriage. kidding but really thanks cause i heard her talking to her cleaning lady this morning, thinking …
