šŸ”¹ slider-entity-row - Add sliders to entities cards

How come I am not seeing the position for the entities ? Any configuration that I need to set?

Good evening, does this still modify the slider colors? I copied the code, inserted into a manual card to test only changing the entity. Iā€™m unable to change slider colors and havenā€™t figured out the difference.

Thanks!

I just checked in my dashboard (I keep a section of experiments) and it is still functioning. I have not made any changes to it since I made the post. Can you confirm that you have card-mod installed? It doesnā€™t say it in the yaml (with a card_mod: section) but Iā€™m pretty sure it does rely on it.

I do have card-mod installed. My Home Assistant version is 2023.11.0b1 and noticed color changes of the slider and knob while using slider entity row once I upgraded Home Assistant. I had modified the slider bar within my theme.yaml, but that doesnā€™t seem to work any longer. I seen your code while searching for a solution to my problem. I will continue to work on my problem.

I appreciate your response!

Thanks

Do you mind taking a look to see my mistake? I havenā€™t had any luck getting this to work.

Thanks

@jschafermo I did not realize it before, but I noticed today, that you were running 2023.11b1; I was still on 2023.10.x when you originally posted and my card worked fine. Now, Iā€™m on 2023.11.1 and my card_mod is broken. I did some work with it today and figured out most of the new syntax and made some improvements.

If you want to use just the slider in full mode, the card_mod syntax can be simplified.

EDIT 20231109: Updated code to reflect it is supposed to reside within an entities card.

I appreciate your update. For the life of me, I canā€™t get this to work on my end. I will keep working on it. Thanks again for your effort!

Update: I have it working. I had posted the code into a manual card for testing which didnā€™t work. Once I notice my mistake and posted the code into an entities card, slider color changes worked!

Thanks again for your assistance!

Good catch on the missing entities card part. Iā€™ve updated the code above; I just forgot to copy that part from my test-bed

Just for fun, hereā€™s something for ya:

hi Derek, noticing you use the direct element name variable here, which I also found in the inspector after the move to the new material elements in 2023.11.

would you please care to have a look at šŸ”¹ Card-mod - Add css styles to any lovelace card - #5335 by Mariusthvdb

where I am trying to follow Pauls suggestion to use the new material variables, but am not succeedingā€¦?

seems to me many users would benefit from a direct replacement instruction for those paper slider variables.

I have added this code as well, works great!

Thanks again for taking time as I searched for my error.

missed the ā€˜all tokensā€™ on that linked page:

  md-slider-active-track-color: green
  md-slider-inactive-track-color: yellow
  md-slider-focus-handle-color: black
  md-slider-pressed-handle-color: white
  md-slider-handle-color: pink
  md-slider-hover-handle-color: orange
  md-slider-handle-shadow-color: red
  md-slider-label-container-color: grey
  md-slider-label-text-color: purple

all work in theme now.

however, cant find a variable for the container itself. would be a pity if we needed card_mod for that after all

Hi, Iā€™m using the slider entity row for quite a while now.
So far itā€™s been working great, but today I noticed something strange.
Normally when I slide the slider, it will show the values as you slide, so you know where you are. But that value appears to be missing now.
Not sure exactly when this started.

Iā€™m running:

  • Core 2023.11.1
  • Supervisor 2023.11.3
  • Operating System 11.1
  • Frontend 20231030.1

The card in question:

type: custom:slider-entity-row
entity: input_number.kantoor_target_temperature
name: Set temp kantoor
icon: mdi:temperature-celsius

Hello,

How is it possible to indent the numerical value in the slider on the right?
image

It is span class=ā€œstateā€.

cards:
  - type: custom:slider-entity-row
    entity: input_number.root_192_168_10_66_volume
    full_row: true
    style: |
      .state {
        margin-right: 10px;
      }

I have tried this but it does not work.
Thanks

Probably because you are using the card not inside Entities card - as it is supposed to be.
May be the card is placed inside a vertical-stack which does not have ha-card - that is why your style is ignored.

Yes, the full code is a vertical-stack. In the vertical-stack I have a horizontal-stack:

type: vertical-stack
cards:
  - type: horizontal-stack
    cards:
      - type: custom:slider-entity-row
        entity: input_number.root_192_168_10_66_volume
        full_row: true
        style: |
          .state {
            margin-right: 10px;
          }

Ok and how would I have to adjust the YAML code so that the state is adjusted accordingly in the style? Unfortunately, Iā€™m not that fit in YAML as Iā€™m just starting out with it

As I said, the card is supposed to be used in Entities card.
If you want to use it in a stack - then you need to wrap your card into mod-card (see Docs in card-mod repo) and style it accordingly (find examples with mod-card in repo), and these efforts are not worth it.

type: vertical-stack
cards:
  - type: horizontal-stack
    cards:
      - type: custom:mod-card
        card:
          type: custom:slider-entity-row
          entity: input_number.test_number
          full_row: true
        style:
          slider-entity-row $: |
            .state {
              margin-right: 150px;
              color: red;
            }

more complexity ā†’ less stable styles

Ok thanks, now it works.

This happened to me as well. I also see a bug report for it on GitHub.

Is it possible to add a ā€œ+ā€ and ā€œ-ā€ button to a slider to allow the user to increase stepwise rather than with the slider (for when he/she wants to make smaller steps/precision steps)?
