Patrick,

You’re Awesome thanks. I LOVE HA, but I have a day job and have struggle constantly to simply find the appropriate syntax for much of the coding needing to be efficient. I was up until 3am and came up with this… It works, but is a lot less efficient than yours, so thanks.

  - entity: sensor.kitchen_temperature_sensor
    style:
      font-size: 9px
      left: 45%
      top: 50%
    type: state-badge
  - entity: sensor.bedroom_temperature_sensor
    style:
      font-size: 9px
      left: 52%
      top: 20%
    type: state-badge

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      kitchen_temperature_sensor:
        friendly_name: "Kitchen"
        value_template: '{{ states.climate.kitchen.attributes.temperature }}'
        unit_of_measurement: '°F'
      bedroom_temperature_sensor:
        friendly_name: "Bedroom"
        value_template: '{{ states.climate.bedroom.attributes.temperature }}'
        unit_of_measurement: '°F'

I don’t want to be one of those people that doesn’t do the research to find the answer, but the problem is that the answers are confusing and time consuming, so thank you thank you for your help. It’s guys like you that help us newbies grow and pay it forward.

Hi all, I’m wondering if any of you picture-elemets gurus could help me execute on an idea.

What I want is a card that has only text and which respects the theme colors. I want to just position some labels and sensor values on a blank canvas but without the picture which is a requirement for picture-elements.

I really wanted to use picture-elements because it seems quite easy to lay things out but the requirement for a picture background means that it’s not going to look quite right with my changing themes… I tried it with markdown card but it wasn’t flexible enough with positioning the text to do what I wanted.

What do you think, is there some way to do this or do I have to learn how to make custom cards (which looks pretty far out of my level of ability seeing as I have no web development or javascript expertise)?

Thanks all.

You can use a transparent png as (background) image.

So simple. Of course. Thank you.

Hi all,

One more question, I want this:

But get this:

Is there any way to tell the state-label that I don’t want it showing the units of my sensor? Or do I have to make a template sensor without a unit?

Code is here:

  - type: picture-elements
    image: /local/images/coronavirus_transparent.png
    elements:
#      - type: state-label  
#        entity: sensor.czechia_coronavirus_current
#        style:
#          top: 33%
#          left: 45%
#          font-size: large

# Header
      - style:
          font-size: large
          right: -13%
          top: 15%
        text: Coronavirus In Czechia
        type: 'custom:text-element'
#      - style:
#          font-size: large
#          left: 56%
#          top: 15%
#        text: In
#        type: 'custom:text-element'
#      - style:
#          font-size: large
#          left: 72%
#          top: 15%
#        text: Czechia
#        type: 'custom:text-element'

#Numbers

#      - type: state-label  
#        entity: sensor.czechia_coronavirus_current
#        style:
#          font-size: x-large
#          left: 20%
#          top: 42%
      - style:
          font-size: x-large
          left: 20%
          top: 42%
        text: 6838
        type: 'custom:text-element'
#      - type: state-label  
#        entity: variable.czechia_coronavirus_new_yesterday
#        style:
#          font-size: x-large
#          left: 51%
#          top: 42%
      - style:
          font-size: x-large
          left: 51%
          top: 42%
        text: 438
        type: 'custom:text-element'
#      - type: state-label  
#        entity:  variable.czechia_coronavirus_new_today
#        style:
#          font-size: x-large
#          left: 82%
#          top: 42%
      - style:
          font-size: x-large
          left: 82%
          top: 42%
        text: 121
        type: 'custom:text-element'

Also is there any way to center something on the card? The header label moves around based on which device I open it on when positioned from the right. If I position it from the left it goes off the left of the card or wraps the text…

Hellis81 · August 31, 2020, 8:49pm

Regarding your unit problem.
Can’t you use the customize tool and just remove that?
Normally you add stuff, but I can’t see a reason why it wouldn’t work to remove a attribute.

And the position.
I believe that is because the image you base it on is larger than the screen size of the phone.
Untested, but perhaps you can resize the image smaller and use scaling to scale down the values the same way.
Maybe that will make it easier to fit?
I have not bothered but this is a possible solution I have thought of.

scstraus · August 31, 2020, 9:23pm

Thanks. Yes, I guess I could. I use the sensors and variables in other places, and didn’t want to create new ones, but I suppose that’s what I’ll do.

About the position, is there a way to know the right size to make the image? I just compared the image to the card size on my screen and tried to trim it to the right size. How many pixels wide is a normal card?

Hellis81 · September 1, 2020, 4:40am

Sorry can’t help you with that. It is just a guess as I said, based on that when I flip my phone on the side everything looks good.
But don’t know what size the image has to be to be correct.

Created my own take on a media player card. Used picture-elements, button-card and mini media player-card. Still working on some stuff to add, so not final yet

You can have all the floors in the same card if you want.
I haven’t done it with three floors, we just have two so I just use a boolean to flip between the floors.
But I think a input_number that is the floor will work for you, and then have three buttons to switch between the floors by setting a number in the input_number.

Bart1 · September 21, 2020, 1:46pm

Thanks, i’ll try this out!

devastator · September 21, 2020, 2:17pm

this looks fabulous ! Can you share it ?

ASNNetworks · September 21, 2020, 7:18pm

I will try soon! I’m very busy at the moment and the card needs some explaining because I have also set stuff the card doesn’t show (like theme colors and input boolean for day/night theme).

This is the final card (well, almost, I’m still waiting how to link the new Media Browser to a button !)
