I’m migratating an openhab installation to HA and would like to create very compact dashboards like the stemaps in openhab. They shall consist only of text, numbers and sliders. It is possible to create only one card per dashboard with a list of sliders?
Looks like an entity card.
Not sure about the sliders, I guess that is climate entities. You could add climate entities to an entity card but it won’t have a slider.
You could create a helper that uses a slider and create an automation to set the climate with the slider.
So, yes that is possible
This one is made for just that. If you have not installed HACS then the guide in his github will suffice.
(HACS is an integration that makes installing custom stuff like this easy, tho HACS install itself takes a few steps 
)
There is no need for that mod, the standard input number with slider looks like this in an entity card:
Not sure what this mod changes…
If you add a light or something else then an input number like climate to the Entities Card it will not have a slider and no way of adding one in this version:

For more than one entity on a row use this:
Thanks for all the helpful hints. I would like to start with a sample dashboard and play with the code. Where can I go to get an up-to-date example. The main dashboard is generated automatically and I don’t want to take control on the original version…
I know, that might sound rude (it isn’t meant that way!), but you need to get a little more familiar with how HA works.
What you’re asking for is a new dashboard. These you can setup under Setttings. 
How to move forward with this dashboard is entirely your choice - generated like the Overview dashboard you already have, or you take control and do it yourself for this dashboard.
On this new dashboard you can setup cards as you like. Small, big, with or without sliders and so on. As you already got the most important links for your specific need, I’d recommend to take a look here, on how to work with HA.
I want to build a very simplified dashboard with no graphics and no nested elements. Just one card and about 20 sliders within (lovelace-slider-entity-row). I’m just looking for some random dashboard code to learn from it. It seems that it is not possible to get the yaml code of the automatically generated overview dashboard as an example. Do you know a website where I can find codes for the actual HA.
Thats all I get when I open the raw configuration editor:
strategy:
type: original-states

That’s why I said, you need to get more familiar with the basics of HA. 
The documentation might not be the best, but especially for beginners, there are a lot of guides in there to check and learn from.
Eg. setting up a new dashboard is explained here
in all details, with YAML, with the UI, what is the “overview” dashboard.
If you want a customized dashboard, it is recommended not to change the Overview dashboard, but to create a new dashboard instead.
As I said, this might sound rude to you (again, not meant that way!), but you’re missing the basics of HA and how it works. I know, a switch from another platform isn’t easy, and it will likely be more complicated, as if you wouldn’t have any idea of home automation, but in the end, this won’t help - unfortunately! You need to know the basics, otherwise helping you will be very difficult.
So, what I’d advise to do is this:
- Setup a new dashboard (how to is in the link ) as a UI configured dashboard. You don’t want to start with YAML, as it is more complicated.
- Go to that new dashboard and start setting it up like you think it’s cool for you. You can’t do anything wrong here, just play around. If everything goes sideways, you can always delete that dashboard and start fresh, without loosing any data or such.
- Read up on HACS and why you practically need to intall HACS. There are many, many cards from independent developers, that will help you getting the dashboard to look like you want it to.
- If problems come up during this process, come back here and ask!
But you need to know, at least a little, what you’re doing. We can’t do the work for you, because it’s your installation, and it should work, like you want it to. You wouldn’t be happy with my dashboards for example. And for this, you need to know how things work in the background.
So, take a look at the documentation, start experimenting, and if there are questions, ask.
Hope this helps you a little!
