Switch with double buttons

Configuration Frontend
1

After running home assistant in a virtual environment under raspbian, I recently tried installing it as a docker container. After some tweaking, it is starting to run almost as complete as my earlier setup.
I do however have a problem with a zwave switch in the frontend. It is shown with two buttons instead of the one it used to have:

The relevant section in my customize.yaml file reads:

switch.nodon_msp31xx_micro_smart_plug_switch:
  friendly_name: nodon Remote Switch
  entity_picture: /local/nodon.jpg

Also, a couple of danfoss thermostats are shown ok, except for the custom pictures:

Again, from customize.yaml:

climate.danfoss_z_thermostat_014g0013_heating_1_2:
  friendly_name: Living Room S - Thermostat
  entity_picture: /local/danfossLCO13.jpg
climate.danfoss_z_thermostat_014g0013_heating_1_3:
  friendly_name: Living Room N - Thermostat
  entity_picture: /local/danfossLCO13.jpg

Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks in advance.

The top issue is just the group (by default) has a master toggle. As the group has only one entity it looks like it has two switches.

Under the group in groups.yaml, the entity should have the following property to get rid of the group toggle:
control: hidden

Hmm, the following doesn’t work:

electrical:
      name: Electrical
      view: yes
      control: hidden
      entities:
        - sensor.time
        - switch.nodon_msp31xx_micro_smart_plug_switch

you need to fix the indentation.

electrical:
  name: Electrical
  view: yes
  control: hidden
  entities:
    - sensor.time
    - switch.nodon_msp31xx_micro_smart_plug_switch

thanks for the replies.
Have tried again with the following. Still no joy :frowning:
One main difference is that before when it worked, I wasn’t runnng the lovelace UI but the docker image uses it.

electrical:
  control: hidden
  name: Electrical
  view: yes
  entities:
    - sensor.time
    - switch.nodon_msp31xx_micro_smart_plug_switch
    - sensor.nodon_msp31xx_micro_smart_plug_energy

show_header_toggle: false for Lovelace 0.84 now… not control: hidden

Tried this:

electrical:
  name: Electrical
  view: yes
  show_header_toggle: false
  entities:
    - sensor.time
    - switch.nodon_msp31xx_micro_smart_plug_switch
    - sensor.nodon_msp31xx_micro_smart_plug_energy

but it broke all groups and displayed every control and sensor on the main page together :frowning:

Didn’t realize they were on lovelace.

I really need to start getting proficient in lovelace…:slightly_frowning_face:

OK, can’t find a solution for this but a workaround- on the info page, it’s possible to revert to old states page:

then the controls are shown correctly.
Is it possible to set this as default?

look at the line right under the line you circled in red…:wink:

ahhh didn’t realise it was clickable!
Thanks :slight_smile:

Yeah, I know. That got me for a while too. It’s been like that on every prior release that I know of.

I’m not sure why they didn’t make it look like a regular link.
