WTH - Hard to convert grid cards to sections

[djansen1987 (Daniel Jansen)]

Today converted one of my dashboard to sections, the dasboard contained complex card with many grids. When the automated convert was done i could only drag and drop the grids in the sections but not the buttons or other cards in the grid, had to cut and past them one by one which was a lot of clicking.

I think this is the same general request as

WTH! Nested Grid / Stack Card Conversion (to Sections)

I have many dashboards built prior to the introduction of the Sections layout. To achieve a sections-like layout previously typically involved a complicated nest of cards within a Grid or Vertical / Horizontal Stack. When migrating dashboards from Masonry to Sections, it would be nice if the ‘Convert’ option would also give us the automatic ability to ‘expand’ Grid and Stacks of cards into separate, section-compatible cards.

Might be worth combining forces since neither of you have much in the way of votes (which is crazy to me!)

I did start once trying to convert and got rather quickly stuck, so I’ll likely need a week off (without the family around) to really look into it and start my first sections-based dashboard(s).

IMHO, HA has a weakness similar to Linux. It requires a lot of learning. YAML, Python, etc., to get things working. No offense HA; I appreciate the integrations being available, but yes, intuitive improving would be appreciated. And yes, I know that requires someone (else) to do it. Or to write more HowTos.

“Smart Home” as is, is an oxymoron! It requires far to much and deep IT and tech knowledge. Can’t count the hours, days, weeks I read since I started “smartifying” my home this year. With currently 109 devices and focused on heating and lights as for now, with smaller projects like Shelly door opener (working) and Reolink cam (no bi-directional voice yet) as notable “additions”.
