Learnig too slowly
I have messed up the Overview screen. Had some card error, so I went to Raw config editor, and deleted the red row. But now I don´t have this “+” button down right, to add the cards…
I understand how to create the “tabs” and add something to a tab. But Only single item per tab. If I add more, the other just don´t show up.
This isn’t something that would be covered in manuals. This is a ‘duh’ kind of thing. The gauge card, which displays gauges requires numbers coming from a state. How can a MPH gauge in a car display the text ‘foo’ on the gauge? It can’t, cause it’s not a number.
The error is telling you that. Your result is not a number for sensor.sonoff_sr04_distance.
Now for that, there could be a number off issues. The most likely cause is that you just mistakenly put the unit of measurement inside the state (happens quite a lot with beginners). Or the created sensor (from whatever platform you are using) included the unit of measurement inside the state.
So the solution is different depending on who makes sensor.sonoff_sr04_distance sensor. What is making that sensor? Also, can you take a screenshot of that sensors state?
I have now read a lot and watched videos about Lovelace and get more and more confused Can I manage with visual design, or have to configure it with code?
Not sure what you mean by visual design. There are no ways to move objects around, if that’s what your asking. You can use the UI editor to configure things, but it’s still code or clicking.
Because you are using panel: true for all your views and you’re making a new view for every card. Remove that and add more cards in the cards section.

If I want to start from beginning again with Lovelace, should I delete all or what should I keep?
I tried to edit the code, but as I can not understand what I do, I messed up. I copied original, so I was able to turn back the changes. I can not delete the “sheets” as it tells me to delete card first, but I can not find a way to do this in UI.
I think I have to wait until the release of HA Ver 1.0 where hopefully a click in the right box will write specific code in the configuration.yaml without knowing it.
Finally i got. I have to click the button “panel mode”. After this I was able to delete the card, and then to delete the sheet.
Created the ui-lovelace.yaml file in config folder, missed the part, where I have to insert lovelace into configutation.yaml, before editing in ui-lovelace.yaml.
Well, you literally told the configuration that you want to use yaml mode on Lovelace. Now you have to use the ui_lovelace.yaml file to configure your views.
This is all covered in the documentation.
If you want to use the GUI then you need to leave the Lovelace config out of configuration yaml…
