Monster card

Monster card has been decprecated in favor of it successor, auto-entities

Monster card is a magical type of card. Because it's dynamic if you're smart about it, you can have one card that adapts and that you don't need to touch when adding new entities & sensors to your setup.

Supports both inclusion and exclusion filters with wildcard for entity_ids.

Installation

Copy monster-card.js into your <config>/www directory. If you have no www directory, create it and then restart Home Assistant for it to recognize the file. Add the reference to the file inside Raw Config Editor or ui-lovelace.yaml under resources.

    include: [{}]
    exclude:
      - entity_id: "*yweather*"
      - domain: group

    title: Monster
  filter:
    include:
      - domain: device_tracker
        options:

          source_type: gps

Show all lights that are on (two methods):

- type: custom:monster-card
  show_empty: false
  card:
    type: entities

      - domain: light
    exclude:
      - state: 'off'
      - state: 'unavailable'

Show all in device_tracker with battery lower than 25:

- type: custom:monster-card

    type: glance
    title: Monster
  filter:
    include:
      - domain: device_tracker
        attributes:

          source_type: gps

Snow monster card based on random entity state:

- type: custom:monster-card
  card:
    type: glance
  filter:
    include:
      - domain: climate
  when:
    entity: device_tracker.demo_paulus
    state: not_home

Show monster card with entities card but without toggle:

- type: "custom:monster-card"
  card:
    title: Docker
    type: entities
    show_header_toggle: false
  filter:
    include:
      - domain: media_player
      - domain: camera

Provide additional configuration options to entities:

- type: custom:monster-card
  card:
    type: entities
  filter:
    include:
      - entity_id: sensor.my_sensor
        options:
          name: "My super sensor"
      - domain: media_player
        options:
          type: "custom:state-card-custom"

On filtred entity click event, call a service for that specific entity_id(this.entity_id):

- type: 'custom:monster-card'
card:
  type: glance
filter:
  include:
    - entity_id: binary_sensor.visonic*
      attributes:
        "state": "On"
      options:
        tap_action:
          action: call-service
          service: visonic.alarm_sensor_bypass
          service_data:
            bypass: 'True'
            entity_id: this.entity_id

Sorting entities explained

Entities are displayed in the card in the order they are matched by the include filters. I.e. to get a specific order, detailed filters must precede more general ones.

The following example will display sensor.my_sensor followed by all other sensors in alphabetical order:

- type: custom:monster-card
  card:
    type: entities
  filter:
    include:
      - entity_id: sensor.my_sensor
      - entity_id: sensor.*

The following example will display all sensors in alphabetical order. sensor.my_sensor will be included in the sorted list and not be displayed at the end since it has already been matched by sensor.*:

- type: custom:monster-card
  card:
    type: entities
  filter:
    include:
      - entity_id: sensor.*
      - entity_id: sensor.my_sensor
