UI Minimalist Template

Configuration Frontend
,
1

Hey all,
Forgive my lamens terms, not a developer and want to try and see what I can achieve.

I am using Mushroom UI and think it is a fantastic way for beginners, and non dev types to build wonderful dashboards BUT I want more :slight_smile:

In Minimalist UI they have a Welcome card with 5 switches that I would like to utilise. I have uploaded the template to: /config/ui_lovelace_minimalist/custom_cards/card_esh_welcome/card_esh_welcome.yaml

Then used the template code from

https://ui-lovelace-minimalist.github.io/UI/usage/custom_cards/custom_card_esh_welcome/

I then receive this error:

**Button-card template 'card_esh_welcome' is missing!**
type: custom:button-card
template: card_esh_welcome
variables:
  ulm_weather: weather.home
  entity_1:
    nav: house
    icon: mdi:home
    name: House
    color: blue
  entity_2:
    nav: lights
    icon: mdi:lightbulb
    name: Lights
    color: yellow
  entity_3:
    nav: security
    icon: mdi:shield
    name: Secure
    color: green
  entity_4:
    nav: network
    icon: mdi:nas
    name: Lab
    color: purple
  entity_5:
    nav: network
    icon: mdi:flask
    name: Lab
    color: red

I have cleared my cash, made sure the cards were the same name and currently stumped.

Any heklp would be appreciated.

Seems like you didn’t install UI Minimalist. The error is saying it can’t find the template, meaning it doesnt see it in your local files.

Hey Petro,
It is currently installed, I even have the default dashboard it creates. :frowning:

Are you in yaml mode? If not, you can’t include template via file, they have to go into raw config.

Hey,
So I have uploaded the template into its own YAML, as per the message above.

I am simply trying to call to that when building a custom card in UI Mode in my dashboard.

If I was meant.

I see, so I can either have UI mode in Dashboards, and only use the mushroom cards I have etc or I edit in YAML mode, but not both?

If you want to use Minimalist in UI mode you have to copy the button card templates into the raw config. You can also choose a mixes yaml / storage mode.; in this case you are able to build a Minimalist dashboard in yaml parallel to other dashboards that can be configured via UI. As far as I remember, Minimalist has an excellent documentation. Have a look at it :slight_smile:

If you want the mushroom look in the ui, you shouldn’t use ui minimalist. You shook look into mushroom cards, which is beginner friendly. I’ll find the link to it.

He uses Mushroom, now he wants more :slight_smile:
