HACS Repo

[Jens-Wymeersch]

@andyblac @ddewar
Your cards look amazing. I’ve been trying to figure out how to get them installed in hacs. As if I add them manually, i need to maintain the updates. The link at the bottom of your github, opens up the my-cards in hacs from GitHub - AnthonMS/my-cards: Bundle of my custom Lovelace cards for Home Assistant. Includes: my-slider, my-slider-v2, my-button 2.

I’m getting the follow error <Plugin andyblac/UI-Minimalist-Custom-Cards> Repository structure for v2.1 is not compliant when trying to add the custom repo
GitHub - andyblac/UI-Minimalist-Custom-Cards: A modified version of Minimalist Room Card. and category lovelace

Can you please have a look ?

[andyblac]

sorry but my cards can not be added via HACS, as UI-Minimalist does not support GitHub for maintaining custom cards, the only way is to manually add my cards to the correct folder.

[andyblac]

I have re-worked the templates to be a stand-alone button-card template, that can be used in any yaml mode dashboard, if you are still interested in this please reply to this.

[Jens-Wymeersch]

@andyblac Yes I am interested in the cards. Can you please share ?

here's a copy of my dashboard,

add like the following:

lovelace:
  mode: storage
  dashboards:
    lovelace-andyblac:
      mode: yaml
      title: Main
      icon: phu:imac
      show_in_sidebar: true
      filename: dashboard/AndyBlac/main.yaml

dashboard.zip

Andy, thank you for giving me access to your dashboard, but I'm not able to adjust it to my Home Assistant environment. In essence, I was only looking for the initial page

Not sure what code is associated with this piece alone.

Not sure what code is associated with this piece alone.

the main dashboard file is dashboard/AndyBlac/main.yaml this sets up the dashboard, the sidebar is file dashboard/AndyBlac/sidebar.yaml and the main page yaml is dashboard/AndyBlac/views/00-home.yaml

I went through these but couldn't get it to work for me

it has all my entities in It, so you have to just look at how I did it and create your own version. YAML dashboards are not for the novice as they take a lot of work and time.

[Jens-Wymeersch]

Andy, I fully understand what you are saying, and I have done already some work related to YAML dashboards, but I hoped I could easier copy and paste what you have done.

start by commenting out all rooms and sidebar from my 00-home.yaml leave room1 anything that has an entity id in change to one of yours or comment it out, start building it bit by bit.

ie line 45 and lines 81 to 455

then in this block

  # Front Garden
  - type: custom:button-card
    view_layout:
      grid-area: room1
    template:
      - andyblac_card_room
    tap_action:
      action: navigate
      navigation_path: front-garden
    variables:
      andyblac_card_room_area_id: front_garden
      andyblac_card_room_color: green
      sensor_label_1: sensor.front_garden_motion_sensor_temperature
      sensor_label_2: sensor.front_garden_soil_sensor_humidity
      sensor_label_3: sensor.front_garden_motion_sensor_illuminance_lux
      # custom_1:
      #   entity_id: camera.front_garden_video_doorbell_poe_clear
      sensor_1:
        entity_id: binary_sensor.front_door
      sensor_2:
        entity_id: binary_sensor.front_garden_motion_sensor_occupancy
        templates:
          - motion_animation
      sensor_3:
        entity_id: valve.front_garden_water_control
        templates:
          - sprinkler_animation
      entity_3:
        entity_id: light.front_garden_light
        andyblac_card_room_use_light_color: true
        # templates:
        # - outdoor-light

change my entity id to your own ones, or comment out the block ie line 66 to 69 to disable sensor_2

@andyblac I went into this direction. The problem arises directly with the following variable andyblac_card_room_area_id

Resulting in the following error

post your cards yaml, I'll take a look at where your going wrong, also what version of Home Assistant are you running ?

[Jens-Wymeersch]

I am running the latest version of home assistant

Core 2024.8.2
Supervisor 2024.08.0
Operating System 13.1
Frontend 20240809.0

Here is the first part of the code lab.yaml which allows for the templates to be loaded - tested it and it works.

decluttering_templates: !include_dir_merge_named New/templates/
button_card_templates: !include_dir_merge_named New/templates/
views: !include master_remote.yaml

Here is part of the master_remote.yaml which is related to your code. The problem I am facing is related to the andyblac_card_room_area_id. What should this be as I see in the template you have put some jinga code related to this variable.

- theme: Backend-selected
  title: Remote
  icon: mdi:remote

Thank you for your help by the way

[andyblac]

and does the area id entity match that is show in the Area ?

like this :

[Jens-Wymeersch]

As I tried initially with one of my area ids, "master" and It gave me an error, I assumed this was something else. Now I changed it to master and get the same error. Not sure why ?
