I need to do very unusual thing in Home Assistant. I have input_text.color that contains color in hex format. (eg #FF0000 — red, #00FF00 — green, and #999999 — grey).
I want to change that color in Home Assistant with some simple interface. The best solution that came to my mind is to create custom UI card — color-entity-row. This card can be used inside entities card:
cards:
- type: entities
entities:
- type: custom:color-entity-row
entity: input_text.color
Here is a tweet with a video how it works: https://twitter.com/bessarabov/status/1356587133029482497
The source code for this card is here — https://github.com/bessarabov/color-entity-row,
but, frankly speaking I’m not expecting this card to be useful for a lot of people. The task that I’m solving with this card is very uniq. I need to set color in input_text, usually the color is set for light objects and for the entities in light domain there is a neat interface that can change color.
