play00:00

it's time for another Hax front end

play00:02

component video today we'll be looking

play00:04

at five different components that can

play00:06

help you speed up the setup of your UI

play00:09

customize how you see the data or just

play00:12

bring you some more information that you

play00:14

would be otherwise searching through the

play00:16

home assistant we'll start in couple of

play00:28

seconds one of the biggest issues for

play00:31

all of the home assistant users is

play00:33

creating UI it can be really a long-term

play00:37

task because you create something then

play00:39

you redo it then you find a much better

play00:42

hccs alternatives to the ones available

play00:44

in home assistant so you just work work

play00:46

work and never finish on it and also if

play00:49

you have a lot of entities and this

play00:51

system my main system has

play00:54

3,826 entities it can be a pain to group

play00:57

everything to sort everything out to

play00:59

know what the lights are what the

play01:01

switches are what the covers are what

play01:03

areas you have Etc well there is

play01:05

actually one nice front end component in

play01:08

HCS or hack that can help you with that

play01:11

let's start with that one alian Khan

play01:13

made this mushroom strategy card and if

play01:16

you do like the card don't forget to

play01:18

give it a star because it is the

play01:20

simplest way of saying thanks this card

play01:23

is card that will create your complete

play01:25

dashboard but it's also I would call it

play01:28

like that an experiment it will show you

play01:31

what you can do with your UI but I would

play01:34

use that as a starting point there is

play01:36

one Pitfall or downside of this and that

play01:39

is that you cannot simply customize it

play01:42

but let's first install it let's look at

play01:43

it and let's talk about customization

play01:46

Plus on explore and download and type

play01:48

mushroom and you must install

play01:51

autogenerating mushroom dashboard

play01:53

strategy before you install that one you

play01:55

should also make sure that you have

play01:57

mushroom available or installed on your

play01:59

system system and also mini graph card

play02:02

we have mushroom already installed and

play02:04

mini graph card is also installed click

play02:08

select download at the time of the

play02:10

recording version

play02:12

1.0.1 is the latest available version

play02:14

and click on download

play02:16

reload and the front end component

play02:19

should now be active we need to do

play02:21

couple of more things copy this text

play02:25

here strategy type with empty View and

play02:30

then let's go to settings dashboards add

play02:33

dashboards call it

play02:36

mushroom

play02:39

strategy add an

play02:41

icon create let's click on it three dots

play02:46

edit

play02:48

dashboard start with an empty dashboard

play02:51

take control once again three dots a row

play02:55

configuration

play02:56

editor and replace everything with the

play02:59

code we just cop it and click on Save

play03:02

and this is how your dashboard may look

play03:04

like it has created Auto dashboard we

play03:08

have home one with the areas information

play03:11

greeting weather condition total of

play03:14

Lights available total of switches that

play03:16

are turned on Etc we have lights here

play03:19

with specific lights all the lights that

play03:21

are available fans I have none

play03:25

covers

play03:28

switches climate C s or climate entities

play03:31

and cameras but yeah there may be a lot

play03:34

of entities or devices that you do not

play03:36

want to see on those dashboards there is

play03:38

a way on how to hide them left click and

play03:41

hold and on this device click on Cog

play03:43

wheel and set this visible switch to

play03:46

false or disabled

play03:49

update and the device is gone actually

play03:52

it's still not gone but if we refresh

play03:54

the page device will be gone but there

play03:56

is also option for example if you have

play03:59

one device device or one entity in

play04:00

multiple cards to display it in one card

play04:03

and then do not display it on the other

play04:05

card for that you have to use Advanced

play04:07

card options mode and this is done by

play04:10

going to three dots edit dashboard and

play04:13

here under type add options and card

play04:19

uncore

play04:20

options I do recommend that you go

play04:23

through documentation and look on those

play04:25

advanced settings we will not be

play04:26

covering them through this video but the

play04:28

idea is for example that you can use

play04:30

card options to show some devices or

play04:33

hide other devices on specific cards but

play04:35

let's look at some more simpler

play04:37

customizations that you can do for

play04:39

example we can play with the titles

play04:41

icons Etc let's click on three dots

play04:44

remember that we have balcony here addit

play04:46

dashboard and I will copy the example

play04:49

but change it to match my setup click

play04:54

save and now we have customized area

play04:56

called balcony instead of balcony here

play04:58

we now have area called open balcony

play05:01

with a green sofa icon this is a very

play05:04

easy and nice way to automatically

play05:06

create cards or full dashboards for your

play05:09

setup but there is also downfall

play05:12

unfortunately you cannot edit the cards

play05:16

remove play with them here everything

play05:18

that you need to customize or everything

play05:20

that you want to customize you have to

play05:22

do through the yamama code directly for

play05:24

each specific entity card type card Etc

play05:29

so yeah on one side you gain something

play05:31

but on the other side you do lose a bit

play05:33

of customization again go through

play05:36

documentation there are a lot of other

play05:38

things that you can do more advanced

play05:39

things than just changing the icon color

play05:42

this card that I will show you now is a

play05:44

great card if you already are using home

play05:47

assistant internal integration called

play05:49

timer if you don't know what timer is or

play05:51

the timer exists in home assistant check

play05:54

out the video I've created a long time

play05:56

ago actually 3 years ago when still we

play05:58

didn't have help ERS inside the UI at

play06:01

the time you had to create each and

play06:03

every timer through the EML this way of

play06:05

creating timers is still available in

play06:07

home assistant but you can now also

play06:09

create them via the UI helpers first

play06:12

let's create a dummy helper let's go to

play06:14

settings Integrations helpers create

play06:19

helper select timer we name it for

play06:23

example recording we will use

play06:27

microphone and let's say that this time

play06:29

timer is 30 minutes you have option to

play06:33

use restore if you take this box and

play06:35

allow restore what it means it means

play06:38

that it will retain the timer State at

play06:41

the time of the home assistant restart

play06:43

so if the timer was on countdown it will

play06:46

not reset after the home assistant has

play06:48

rebooted instead it will continue where

play06:50

it left off so I do recommend that you

play06:53

use restore unless you actually want to

play06:55

reset timers each time home assistant

play06:57

restarts let's go to our overview hacks

play07:01

and let's add here timers the only way

play07:04

or one of the ways you could do that

play07:06

currently is to create an entity card

play07:09

and then list timers here if the timers

play07:11

would be triggered we would have simple

play07:13

countdowns like this but we want to have

play07:16

fancy or nice counters so there is a HCS

play07:19

front end component just for that let's

play07:22

go to

play07:23

HCS front end type in timer and select

play07:27

timer bar card there is also option to

play07:30

use flip down timer cards but I will

play07:32

leave that one for future Hax videos and

play07:35

this is how timers can look let's click

play07:38

on download latest version at the time

play07:40

of the recording is version 1.

play07:43

29.1 download and reload if we check the

play07:47

documentation there are a lot of styles

play07:49

that you can implement or push to your

play07:51

timer card it all depends on your usage

play07:54

how you want it to look does it match

play07:56

your setup Etc there is also a mushroom

play07:58

style the the simplest way of course is

play08:00

to click three dots edit dashboard add

play08:05

card time

play08:07

cards add entities it can be one or

play08:11

multiple timer recording and then we can

play08:14

also add some modifications for

play08:21

example this will create a simple card

play08:23

that will change the icon and also the

play08:26

color of the bar depending on the

play08:28

percentage where the bar is or what the

play08:30

timer is currently running out of course

play08:32

on a longer timer such as this one you

play08:34

may not see the difference but if we

play08:36

replace it for example with a dishwasher

play08:39

which is much shorter you see that the

play08:40

bar is currently red because the time is

play08:42

running out we only have 40 seconds left

play08:45

you can further customize it for example

play08:47

edit add layout full row and now we can

play08:52

see full row without the text but we can

play08:55

further customize

play08:56

it text with zero pixel that means that

play09:01

we don't even have time visible in terms

play09:03

of seconds minutes or hours just the bar

play09:06

itself let's click save let's start it

play09:09

once

play09:10

again and as you can see we only have

play09:13

bar progress bar there are a lot of

play09:15

other things that you can do with this

play09:16

timer card I even haven't scratched the

play09:18

surface for example we can add tap

play09:21

action that means that we do not even

play09:23

have to use internal timers inside home

play09:25

assistant instead of that we can create

play09:27

our own timers with the scripts or

play09:30

automations for more information go to

play09:32

the repository where you can read the

play09:34

documentation and by the way if you're

play09:36

there if you like this Hax component

play09:38

don't forget to start it so we can thank

play09:41

Ranon for this awesome Hax

play09:45

contribution but as I mentioned go to

play09:47

the documentation page and read what you

play09:50

can do with this card I didn't even

play09:52

scratch a surface of what this card can

play09:55

do it all depends on your creativity on

play09:58

your needs and there are are a lot of

play10:00

examples cases use cases that are

play10:03

written and documented here so go check

play10:06

it out okay but time for our next

play10:09

component let's once again go to front

play10:12

end explore and type in

play10:16

hourly weather cards we all know that

play10:19

home assistant brought us some changes

play10:21

in the version 20239 and this is how we

play10:24

handle hourly weather no matter if

play10:26

you're using older version or newer

play10:28

version home assistant you can still use

play10:30

this card and it looks much nicer than

play10:33

any other available card inside home

play10:35

assistant for your next whatever hours

play10:38

weather forecast so let's start with

play10:40

clicking download download at the time

play10:43

of the recording the latest version not

play10:45

beta is

play10:46

5.3.0 and reload but what is great about

play10:50

this component is that we can simply add

play10:52

it by using visual editor click on ADD

play10:55

card hourly and here we have to select

play10:58

first entity you you have to know which

play10:59

entity supports arly weather you can

play11:02

give it a name you can select number of

play11:04

segments this one has 12 for 12 hours it

play11:07

can be lower

play11:10

number or higher number but remember

play11:12

that granularity also makes the text

play11:15

smaller or bigger and it may or may not

play11:17

show all the data from first glance we

play11:21

have number of forecast segments to

play11:23

offset for example you don't want to see

play11:25

the weather for next 2 hours you have

play11:28

number of forecast segments to space

play11:30

time and temperature

play11:33

labels it is currently every 2 hours you

play11:36

can show icons instead of the text you

play11:39

can show

play11:49

you can either type weather or just

play12:55

search for it down in the list of all

play12:57

the available cards it is custom weather

play13:00

Rider

play13:01

card okay a lot of options let us

play13:04

quickly go through each one of them card

play13:06

title of course is title of the map you

play13:09

can avoid it and get a bit more real

play13:12

estate available for the satellite image

play13:14

itself data source you can leave as this

play13:17

and that is the default or original one

play13:19

but you can also go for Universal

play13:22

blue

play13:24

Titan The Weather Channel

play13:27

style meteor

play13:29

red next Rod rainbow and dark sky let's

play13:35

go back to original then you can also

play13:38

play with the map style I think there

play13:39

are four versions We have light which is

play13:42

this one here we have Voyager which I

play13:44

don't know what is the difference we

play13:46

have

play13:47

satellite and we have dark if you're not

play13:50

satisfied with how zoomed in or out this

play13:53

looks you can play with either level

play13:55

four which is the furthest one available

play13:57

or level 9 or level even 10 which Zooms

play14:01

in a lot I'll put it at level eight

play14:05

location data is pulled from your home

play14:07

assistant setup so if you haven't

play14:08

specified your home assistant

play14:10

installation location latitude and

play14:13

longitude you will have to provide it

play14:14

here also there are two options or two

play14:18

latitudes and two longitudes one

play14:20

latitude and longitude is used for map

play14:22

Center it will Center the map based on

play14:24

that coordinate but for example if you

play14:27

have a large country map you you have

play14:29

your country centered on the map maybe

play14:31

your location is somewhere else than the

play14:34

center then you can use that marker

play14:36

latitude and longitude to mark your

play14:38

location which is really an awesome idea

play14:41

to include in this component next we can

play14:43

Define frame count frame count is this

play14:46

bar here I think the default value is 10

play14:49

it means that it will create clip out of

play14:52

how many frame counts you specified it

play14:54

can be

play14:56

five for very short brief clip or let's

play15:00

say 20 for a clip that has a bit more

play15:02

data you have option to use frame delay

play15:05

and restart delay restart delay will

play15:07

just delay restart when it reaches the

play15:09

end of the clip Cycle Plus you have also

play15:13

a lot of toggles static

play15:15

map since this map can be moved around

play15:18

you can specify that this is a static

play15:19

map and you will not be able to drag it

play15:22

around then you can show a marker on the

play15:25

map you can show scale

play15:29

show option to zoom in and zoom out show

play15:33

playback option show

play15:35

range Square the map show Extra labels

play15:39

on the map or show recenter button this

play15:43

is Handy if you are not using static map

play15:46

let's click save and now we have a nice

play15:48

customized weather satellite images or

play15:50

clip inside our home assistant if you do

play15:53

like this card don't forget to give it a

play15:55

star to thank Jonathan for creating such

play15:58

an awesome Hax front end component and

play16:01

the last card is very simple very sweet

play16:03

but it can help you especially if you

play16:05

are into that data it's a Once Again HCS

play16:10

Front End plus to explore and download

play16:14

and type log and download logbook card

play16:17

logbook card allows you to get data from

play16:20

your logbook home assistant logbook in a

play16:23

nice visual form it allows you to see

play16:25

when the event started when it finished

play16:28

and how long the event was going on for

play16:30

click on download at the time of the

play16:32

recording version

play16:34

1.13.1 was the latest version download

play16:37

and reload so for what you can use for a

play16:40

lot of things for example I myself would

play16:43

use it for the front door to see when it

play16:45

was open how long it was open and when

play16:48

it was closed or you can use it for your

play16:50

TV to see how long the TV was on or in

play16:53

whatever state it was let's add it to

play16:56

our UI Hax three dots edit dashboard add

play17:01

card select logbook card and in the UI

play17:05

you can of course customize everything

play17:07

first select an entity it can be

play17:10

whatever you want to add for example

play17:13

let's use this motion sensor you can

play17:15

change the title how many days of

play17:17

History you want to see one for example

play17:20

maximum number of items since this is a

play17:23

very long list I can say I want to see

play17:25

only seven items in the list when there

play17:28

is no event no event in log if you want

play17:32

to create a collapsible list for example

play17:34

you only have three events visible the

play17:37

rest four will be collapsible down here

play17:40

date format the list can be ascending or

play17:43

descending and you also can customize

play17:45

what you want to see display State

play17:48

display duration start date end date

play17:50

display icon you can use display

play17:53

separator to have a line that separates

play17:55

each of the event and custom logs if

play17:57

custom logs are available let's save and

play18:00

you have really nice cards that can show

play18:03

you all the events that you would

play18:04

normally see in a loog book but in much

play18:07

nicer and presentable way and I think

play18:09

that this card is really nice way to

play18:12

wrap up this video but before we wrap up

play18:15

let's check also one additional thing

play18:17

and that is repository because if you do

play18:19

like this log card go there start to say

play18:22

thanks to author of this component

play18:24

Julian Roy thanks Rao but of course when

play18:27

you are already there check out the

play18:29

documentation because it will tell you

play18:30

what else you can do with what you can

play18:32

play what each of the items attributes

play18:35

or settings means and how you can

play18:38

further customize your component and

play18:40

this is it for yet another Hax frontend

play18:43

components video I hope that you did

play18:45

find this video useful I have bunch more

play18:47

stored in my list that I will cover in

play18:50

future videos don't forget for each of

play18:52

those components as I wanted to keep

play18:54

this video short although I can never

play18:56

ever make video that is very short I

play18:58

skipped through a lot of things so check

play19:01

out the documentation for each of the

play19:03

components that we've seen here to learn

play19:05

how you can further customize them and

play19:07

work better for your own setup but also
