Star Trek LCARS Theme

Hey there! 2.0 has been released with sound effects and instructions for using the .js file, along with new themes and many, many fixes.

22

Hi. I am having no luck getting the sound and texture toggles to work, nothing happens if I switch the entities on or off.

I have the JS file in the correct place, have the latest version installed so at a loss really.

Any pointers you can give me, i,e things to check where would be helpful please?

24

Couple of things to check:

  1. In your browser dev tools, do you see any log lines with the word LCARS in orange text?
  2. If not, is your site behind CloudFlare? If so, you may need to purge your site cache there.
  3. Fresh cache refresh on your browser is always a good practiceā€“Shift+Ctrl/CMD+R
  4. If you are experiencing this issue in the app, itā€™s a little harder to make the js changes show up. Completely killing the app and restarting can help, and sometimes just waiting enough hours it seems the app will automatically invalidate its cache and pick up new cache.
  5. Please confirm that you added a new Resource with either path to the local file, or if you chose to use the JSDelivr CDN link, that link.

Hi. Thanks for getting back to me.

  1. The only log error I see for Lcars is for the .js file. It says :- http://192.168.1.185:8123/local/community/lcars.js:52:92 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ā€˜stateā€™) It says the same thing if I use the url CDN link instead of the local js file. In both cases the seam issue on the sidebar is cured so it must be loading this file ok to some degree.
  2. I dont have cloudflare.
  3. I have refreshed the browser, no change.
  4. Not using the app, just using Edge Browser on Windows 10 PC on which Virtual box and HASS is installed.
    Yes, I have the following resource to the js file: /local/community/lcars.js with Javascript Module enabled.
26

Thanks for checking all of those. I bet I know whatā€™s going on. What version of Home Assistant?

27

I have a Windows 10 PC running Virtual Box HASS installed in that with the following systems:-

Version
core-2023.4.5

Version
supervisor-2023.04.1

Operating System
Home Assistant OS 10.1

For now I have got rid of the js file and url link. It creates a barrage of error logs (as reported above in my reply to your 5 checks, same error repeated over and over again) in the system and I dont like that.

28

Okay, so it appears itā€™s not finding the entities. Can you screenshot the entityId of the LCARS Sound and LCARS Texture entities, please? If they are not named correctly, that would produce the error.

29

Sure:-

Okay, thereā€™s the problem: Name column vs. Entity ID column. Name can be whatever you want, but the Entity ID needs to be what you have in the Name column. You should be able to edit those to change the Entity IDs for both toggles to look like the following:

Iā€™ll make this more clear in the documentation.

31

The trouble is I name it as per your instructions (literally) it then altered the Entity ID to what I have in my screenshot.

Thanks for your help.

I will have another go at it later after I walk my hound.

Iā€™m sorry for the trouble youā€™ve had. Please let me know if you have any trouble after you rename the entities.

33

Got it working. The naming of the entity is SOOO fussy! You cannot just modify the entity ID, it whines about keeping the domain name the same (whatever that is supposed means) so I had to name them very carefully.

I got it to work by naming the entities lcars_sound and lcars_texture which forced it to create Entity Ids of input_boolean.lcars_sound and input_boolean.lcars_texture.

Well, for whatever reason, it seems it canā€™t find your entity. If you have verified that the entity id is exactly
input_boolean.lcars_sound and not input_boolean.input_boolean.lcars_sound
the only other thing I can think of at the moment is to make sure that the entities are enabled:

I just want to share, that Iā€™ve build an LCARS themed tablet with HADashboard based on Rene Todes Skin.

Since the last HA update I no longer get the clock in the upper corner of the screen, it says unknown instead. Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s the update or something else, I had to reinstall the threedy card 2 times because of an issue with that right after the update.

Any pointers on where to look to sort this out? Iā€™m assuming itā€™s a sensor somewhere thatā€™s off.

There are many ways to accomplish this, though I have not done them myself. You can check in the card-mod documentation because that is what you would do it with. Also, if you join the HA-LCARS Discord server, you can ask all the wonderful folks there how they did it. They are smart, friendly people.

Sorry for the long wait on this reply. I have been swamped with work and life. Iā€™ll have to investigate the clock issue, and someone has already suggested an update to the documentation on a better way to implement it.
I am much more responsive on the Discord server, BTW, and you also get the added benefit of the brilliant community there who often help in ways I canā€™t.
