Thanks, @swieprecht, if you already have the .js file in your www folder you just have to reference it at the beginning of your ui-lovelace.yaml, depending on your exact directory, something like this:

resources:
  - url: /local/custom_ui/button-card.js?v=2.0.5
    type: module

keep in mind that you have to use /local instead of /www.
Then just use the code I copied before for that view. Obviously, didn’t show it above but, after the resources, you should start with:

title: Your title
views:

Just as explained here: https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/yaml-mode/

Also remember checking your config and restart home assistant after doing any changes.

When I try to access home assistant using the app Fully kiosk browser but comes with nothing on the screen. any ideas?

Thanks @Yoinkz, the second touch display is the interior screen of a video intercom, this one:

For me it’s better than a door bell (like ring or nest hello), because it let’s you open the exterior door lock, from that screen or from the mobile wherever you are.

Hi @scubieman, I really don’t know why Fully kiosc browser doesn’t display HA in your setup, no idea why, sorry. Maybe, you’ve already seen it but, this youtube link is a video on how to setup Fully kiosc browser. Hope it helps.

How are these mounted to the wall, are you able to provide web links to all the mounting components you have used to achieve this?

22

That looks really nice. Thanks for sharing! This was exactly what I was looking for. I’m building a nice tablet interface right now.

Hi @levickij, it’s a 3d printed wall mount that I bought from here. To mount it, you just need a pair of screws and dowels. Regarding the power supply, the tablet needs 5 Volts and the wall mount already comes with a small micro usb plug that allows to hide the connector so, if you want all wires hidden, you will need to get 5V behind the tablet wall mount. In my case, I had an old thermostat in there with a 5V pair of wires, though I could not use it directly because although it had the correct voltage, it didn’t have enough power (not enough current to charge the tablet), so I had to install the original amazon power supply right where the old thermostat power supply was. If you have close to where you want to install the panel, an outlet with other voltage, you could use the proper electric transformer to be able to supply in there 5V.
Here, there’s a link from the same site giving some advises regarding which charging option is most appropriate for each situation.

I’m sold! Just found my next Home Assistant project. Thanks again for the information. Did you use the standard power supply option. I’m thinking the POE option.

Thanks @RetroTim!, and please don’t forget to share that interface whenever you have it ready!

Hi how can I have a screensaver like yours?

27

Hi @niccolobusato, this is just google chromecast standard screensaver images. The thing is, these chromecast images are just like a standard URL, you can look for this URL and just insert it in Fully Kiosc ‘screensaver plus’ settings, just like this:

Hey mate, LOVELY interface!
What about the “NEST LIKE” thermostat in the first photo?
Cheers!

29

Hi @Ivan_Petrov, that thermostat is just a very nice custom thermostat card, this one:

https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace/tree/master/thermostat-card

And the code for my card:

- type: custom:thermostat-card
      title: Salon
      entity: climate.living_room
      chevron_size: 100
      hvac:
        states:
          'Off': 'off'
          'Cooling': 'cool'
          'Heating': 'heat'
        attribute: operation_mode

Hope this helps!

Alternatively you can use a screensaver app called Fotoo to display photos from your Google Photos account. Gives it functionality similar to Home/Nest Hub

How is this attached to the wall and what do you do about charging?

32

Hi @Phill_Healey, didn’t see your post till now. It is attached with screws. And you can buy this 3d print case either with power supply or without it. You can find all the details in this post above, where I already explained it:

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/so-happy-with-my-new-smart-home-panel-here-i-share-some-photos/143313/23?u=jolaca

I’ve just seen that the link to the 3d print wall mount has changed. You’ve got it now here:

Hi, @levickij . Sorry, I didn’t see your question but, indeed, POE option can be a great choice if you can manage to have an accessible Ethernet cable in there.
Tell me how it went, thanks.

34

Is it possible to use JPGs in the slideshow that are in specific Dropbox folder?

Or would it be possible to show “Fotoo” inside a dedicated HA Dashboard?

35

Hi, I’ve never used Fotoo, but it should work as @Leonidas said.
