@jimpower - I’m getting some weird rendering happening. What sort of image does cardbackK.jpg contain (it’s not in your repo so i simply commented that line out which may be causing it)?
its just a background image shouldn’t case that. I’d say you probably need to clear cache also.
Not a cache issue - testing in incog. window. I’ll do some more troubleshooting.
Thanks! Can you let me know how to implement that ? Or provide me with a link with more info on that theme thing? Never saw that before…
I was wondering about that cardbackk.jpg as well as i did not find it but for me the cards are working. I have tried the history graph card only so far…
To get this
you will need to add the following to your config.

Ah ok 
i meant the theme thing (cause of the white font color)…sorry 
see the package called theme_control.yaml in my github for all the settings for adding the theme I use

I don’t use on my phone really if I need to interact with the UI I use my PC or wall mounted tablets.
*** I haven’t had a chance to check the card-modder render for other devices yet ***
Super cool - can I ask what you’re using for the garden sensors? Be interested in doing something for our veggie patch (and possibly automate basic irrigation) but it’s a wee way from the house/router/hubs.
@garethw I am using Xiaomi Mi Flora Plant Sensor for plant sensor. I then use a sonoff LV to control a 12v solenoid for garden irrigation. I am doing some landscaping atm so this system is actually moving to a solar panel which will power the irrigation and the gate sensor and a weather station. Details of my current system are in my github you just have to keep scrolling I will post up the new garden project once completed.

Looks great nice job
Although your weather is a bit all over the place. You must be in Victoria

I should add that I had to add a pi zero out in my entertaining area to connect to plant sensors as they were too far for Bluetooth

This is the best HA config layout I’ve come across in the 2+ years I’ve been using HA! Thanks for sharing!
Two questions if I may:
-
Where do you set friendly names for your Xiaomi sensors please? For example, I can’t find any custom names for sensor.staircase_motion, so it must be the entity name discovered by HA. Do you set this in the Xiaomi Gateways, and if so how? I have around 50 Xiaomi sensors which all present themselves with their alphanumeric ID which is a pain. I’ve partially moved to zigbee2mqtt because I can do friendly names, but it’s still early days.
EDIT - found where you use customise for the sensors: https://github.com/JamesMcCarthy79/Home-Assistant-Config/blob/65c329cfe5840c42e6695165f7f37d43bf3d05b6/config/packages/alarm_system/alarm_system.yaml -
How do you spread the load over 3 raspberry Pi’s? Is there a tutorial link you followed please?

@jarrah Glad you found it, I have things hidden away in packages everywhere you can also just click on the entity in states and change the friendly name in there. Click on it select the settings cog and edit from there
As for multiple instances there are a few ways to go about it you could use the mqtt statestream and mqtt eventstream I went down this route to start with as my main one was really slow to respond to automations but this didn’t really speed things up for me so I use anything involved in an automation on a second instance and use node-red to perform the automations, as these happen in the background and mostly are either mqtt or xiaomi they replicate easy and are reflected in the UI which runs of the main instance. Somethings I need to use eventstream and statestream for to keep the 2 insync but node-red is awesome and can talk to all 3 instances whilst sitting remotely.
Hmm… I don’t get any ‘settings cog’ when I click on either the entity name or the pop out icon.
Any idea why not?
Clicking the entity name just populates the section at the top of the screen so I can edit and set states.
Clicking on the pop out icon gives me the same ‘history’ type pop out I get from the main UI.
