What Cards/Improvements to cards would you like to see from the Lovelace UI?

  • Pictures/GIFS are encouraged
  • Give as much detail in how it would look as well as how you think it should function

Not sure if this is the right place but I would like to see Lovelace support sub views:

subviews

This would allow for a more complete way to customize the UI by allowing users to segregate rooms into sub categories, with an example shown in the image above being Living Room -> Audio view.

This could be done in the Lovelace UI yaml file:

views:
- title: Living Room
  icon: mdi:sofa
  id: livingroom
  subviews:
  - title: Lighting
    id: lighting
    cards:
      ...
  - title: Audio
    id: audio
    cards:
      ...
  ...

The URL path can be differentiated by creating sub folders using the id (or derived from the title):
https://mydomain.com/lovelace/livingroom/lighting
https://mydomain.com/lovelace/livingroom/audio

And the cards would exist under the subviews.

Operation:

  • When a top view is selected that has no subviews:
    • Light blue bar is not shown
    • Displays cards for that view
  • When a top view is selected that has subviews:
    • Light blue bar shows (extra points for fluid animation into existence)
    • The first subview under it is automatically selected
    • Displays the cards for that subview
  • Swiping on a touch panel:
    • Scrolls through the visible subviews on the selected top view
    • Switches to next top view when scrolling off the last subview
  • On handheld devices that lack space:
    • Top view bar and subview bar should scroll independently of each other
  • Just like in top view bar, allow support for icons for subview bar
