Good evening guys,
I am currently experimenting with some dashboards and I want to put a tablet in the hall to make some use for the whole household.
The dashboard I am trying to implement will run in kiosk mode (using kiosk-mode) to navigate between different views I implemented a button bar with buttons for every view. To make it easier to identify at which view one is looking right now I would like to change the color of the icon depicting the currently selected view.
I did not want to have to add the button bar to every view I “exported” it to a yaml which is imported by every view. Thus I thought that I could maybe identify which view is shown currently (via the url or something) and then do something like if else in yaml to show it either yellow or blue.
However I found this variable component but I do not think I could easily access the URL from there and do some if else things.
Here is the code of my “navgation bar”. There are normally some more buttons but as I expect the principle to be the same I shortened the code. This navigation bar is then imported by the different views of my dashboard.
type: grid
view_layout:
grid-area: header
variables:
view: "general"
square: false
cards:
- type: button
show_name: true
show_icon: true
tap_action:
action: navigate
navigation_path: /sensor-data/general
name: General
icon: mdi:home
hold_action:
action: none
- type: button
show_name: true
show_icon: true
tap_action:
action: navigate
navigation_path: /sensor-data/garden
icon: mdi:flower
hold_action:
action: none
name: Garden
- type: button
show_name: true
show_icon: true
tap_action:
action: navigate
navigation_path: /sensor-data/basement
icon: mdi:washing-machine
name: Basement
hold_action:
action: none
columns: 6
Hopefully someone has an idea how I could solve this problem.
Best wishes,
Tim
