TileBoard - New dashboard for Homeassistant

Hi every1,

I’m trying to figure out how to replace the bgSuffix if media_player is not actively playing:

{
    position: [0, 1.5],
    width: 3.7,
    height: 1.5,
    bgOpacity: 0.3,
    id: 'media_player.tv_wohnzimmer',
    type: TYPES.MEDIA_PLAYER,
    title: 'Wohnzimmer TV',
    hideSource: false,
    hideMuteButton: false,
    state: false,
    //state: '@attributes.media_title',
    subtitle: '@attributes.media_title',
    bgSuffix: function(item, entity) {
        if(this.parseFieldValue('&media_player.tv_wohnzimmer.state') != 'playing') {
            return 'local/dashboard/images/tiles/spotify.png';
        } else {
            return '@attributes.entity_picture'
        }
    }
},

This works with the initial background but it will not be replaced by @attributes.entity_picture.

And another question:
Is it possible to create a TYPES.CUSTOM tile that opens up the CAMERA_POPUP to show all available cameras, as I want to have just one single tile (with e.g. CCT MDI icon)?

Andy ideas?

Thanks and best regards

Have you tried to use an iframe? not the most elegant, but it should work.

{
	position: [0, 2],
	type: TYPES.POPUP_IFRAME,
	id: {},
	icon: 'mdi-wifi',
	url: 'images/wifiQR.png',
},

obviously set the url to the location of your QR code.

I did that too. Here is an example of TYPES.POPUP. Note that you have to get the latest code from dev branch on GitHub.

{
    position: [0, 3],
    type: TYPES.POPUP,
    id: {},
    title: 'WLAN',
    icon: 'mdi-wifi',
    layout: {
        page: {},
        tiles: [
            {
                position: [0, 0],
                type: TYPES.IMAGE,
                id: { },
                bg: 'images/tiles/guest_wifi_login.png',
            },
            {
                position: [1, 0],
                type: TYPES.IMAGE,
                id: { },
                bg: 'images/tiles/guest_wifi.png',
            }
        ]
    }
}

Hello All,
I have been having issue with this weather tile, the title seems to mess up with the wind/humidity. I have the weather and forecast as shown below. Can someone help me on how I may be able to fix that title “Phoenix” appearing above the wind/humidity sensors ? Also i only get forecast for 2 days on the met.mo weather sensor. Any ideas ?

Thank You in Advance !

Could you share your tile snippet so that we can take a deeper look into it?

Sure, this is what i have:

Is anyone having issues with websocket connection is constantly closing with the new update .113?

Since I have upgraded to .113 the websocket connection closes every minute or so and the logs are filled with the warning.

Had the same issue until I created a token in HA and pasted it in config.js

Hello,
I’m trying to change the tile background to a custom picture of my choice.
In the documentation of tileboard this code should be added in the tile object: bg: ‘@attributes.entity_picture
Where do I add the pic directory e.g “/images/example.jpg” aka how/where do I determine the entity_picture??

Unfortunately that did not fix the issue. Still happening after creating a token.

Hi all, I can’t for the life of of me add a second grouping of tiles. I copy and paste directly in, ensuring it is withing the groups [] and when I refresh the dashboard it keeps saying “entity “unidentified” not found” and no second grouping of tiles. I’ve literally copy and pasted the exact group as above and changed the title and entity, tried leaving it the same, I really don’t get it, i’m stumped. Anyone have any ideas that could help me?

Here is the last item and new group. “second group” won’t show up!

{
                     position: [2, 0],
                     height: 2,
                     width: 1,
                     type: TYPES.SWITCH,
                     id: "switch.nooklightswitch",
                     state: false,
                     title: 'Nook Lights',
                     icons: {'off': 'mdi-lightbulb-off', 'on': 'mdi-lightbulb-on'}
},
{
               title: 'Second group',
               width: 2,
               height: 3,
               items: [
                  {
                     position: [0, 0],
                     width: 1,
                     type: TYPES.SWITCH,
                     id: "switch.nooklightswitch",
                     state: false,
                     title: 'Custom slider',
                     icons: {'off': 'mdi-lightbulb-off', 'on': 'mdi-lightbulb-on'}
                        }
                        ]
 

}
]
}
]
}
]
}


;

Could you try to increase the height of the first tile to 1.5 and check if they overlap?
Another question is what you global configuration section looks like.
Have you made any changes to CSS?

You might want to take a look here?

The image is located in the images folder of tileboard.

It looks to me like you didn’t close your items array with a ] in the first group.

Anyone got an idea how to retrieve the data below “watering_program:”?

device_name: Sprinkler
device_id:
zone_name: Garten
smart_watering_enabled: true
manual_preset_runtime: 3600
sprinkler_type: rotary
program_e: 
enabled: true
name: Smart Watering
is_smart_program: true
watering_program:
  - '2020-07-28T06:00:00+02:00'
  - '2020-07-28T06:32:00+02:00'
  - '2020-07-31T06:00:00+02:00'
  - '2020-07-31T06:32:00+02:00'
  - '2020-08-04T06:00:00+02:00'
  - '2020-08-04T06:32:00+02:00'
  - '2020-08-07T06:00:00+02:00'
  - '2020-08-07T06:32:00+02:00'

What I tried so far was this, but no luck:

{
    title: 'Status',
    icon: 'mdi-check',
    value: function() {
        var consumption = this.parseFieldValue('&sensor.garten_zone_history.attributes.watering_program')
        for(i = 0; i < consumption.length; i++) {
            return consumption[i]
        }
    }
}

I know that it would overwrite until the last item. But this is just a test to get the values out of the array.
Thanks in advance

Hey all, I’m just trying to get started with Tileboard, and I’d really like a way to switch between the Tileboard URL and my basic lovelace interface (this is going to be used on a 7" touchscreen in kiosk mode). I’ve searched a lot, but can’t find a way to have a custom tile that just loads a new URL.

I’ll just make a link back to Tileboard in my normal Lovelace interface to get back when I want to test it.

Any ideas?

Also, are there any good searchable repositories of example code with visual examples to learn from?

Hi Sunny,

Thank you for the response, yes it works fine with 1.5 tile height, but does not look necessary if i could some how fix the overlap. I tried adjusting some CSS but couldn’t get it to fix. Here’s my global config, appreciate your help:

                  },
                  {
                     position: [0, 3.5], // [x, y]
                     width: 1,
                     type: TYPES.SENSOR,
                     id: 'binary_sensor.updater',
                     state: '@attributes.release_notes' // https://github.com/resoai/TileBoard/wiki/Templates
                  }
               ]
            },

What you basically can do is adjust the following CSS code to your needs:

This is the original content provided by @resoai

.weather-icon,
.weather-icon-image {
  display: inline-block;
  margin: 20px auto 5px;
}
.weather-icon > div,
.weather-icon-image > div {
  width: 90px;
  height: 90px;
}

This worked for me:

.weather-icon,
.weather-icon-image {
  display: inline-block;
  margin: auto 5px;
}
.weather-icon > div,
.weather-icon-image > div {
  width: 75px;
  height: 75px;
}

Note to do these changes to custom.css and not main.css :).

Another option would be to set the following to your tile and replace 1.5 with 1:

title: false,

Thanks the CSS didn’t work but , I disabled title and its good.

Thanks Again !

Anyone done list item background based on the sensor value ? I am looking to create a list item for battery levels and was looking to figure out how i may be able to do colors based on battery levels.
