yes, you can use it in UI mode, but you cannot store it in a separate file.
just add it in the raw editor at the begin of the dashboard
Trying the route with seperate yaml files for seperate cards.
When trying to include “streamline_templates: !include_dir_named …/streamline_templates/” into my dashboard config I get this error?
Or should you include this into you configuration.yaml instead of directly into your dashboard (via raw config in UI)?
If you are using UI mode you cannot include other files.
Only in yaml mode you can use includes
I’m also trying to use a separated file using yaml files but I get error in the dashboard view “selector_template” does not exist.
What I’ve done:
- created a “templates” folder
- Include in the folder a file called selector.yaml
Inside the file:
streamline_templates:
selector_template:
card:
type: custom:button-card
name: “[[name]]”
entity: “[[entity]]”
… - create a dashboard yaml file pointed in confiugration.yaml under lovelace::
inside the file:
streamline_templates: !include_dir_named …/templates/
views:
- path: default_view
title: Home
cards:- type: vertical-stack
cards:- type: custom:layout-card
layout_type: custom:grid-layout
layout:
grid-template-columns: 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 10%
margin: 0px
cards:- type: custom:streamline-card
template: selector_template
variables:
…
- type: custom:streamline-card
- type: custom:layout-card
- type: vertical-stack
I’ve tried siveral options with !include_dir_named configuration, but no success.
Appreciate your help to point out where the error could be.
