In the folder instances, there are some objects that can be used to control the UI. For every browser, a new subfolder will
be created with a random ID. This ID is stored in the client browser's web storage. If you delete the web storage, a new
instance will be created. If you use Fully Kiosk Browser make sure the function `Delete webstorage on reload` is **disabled**.

This functionality uses browser_mod, which is installed and updated by the adapter. Do not add your own version of browser_mod as custom card.

### Markdown
You can use bindings in markdown like in [iobroker.vis](https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker.vis#bindings-of-objects).

E.g. Text `Admin adapter is {a:system.adapter.admin.0.alive;a === true || a === 'true' ? ' ' : 'not '} *alive*.` will produce text `Admin adapter is alive` in markdown panel.

## Custom cards
### Upload of custom cards
To upload the custom card write following:
To upload the custom card, write the following:

```iobroker file write PATH_TO_FILE\bignumber-card.js /lovelace.0/cards/```

After restart of lovelace adapter it will include all files from the `cards` directory automatically.

Following custom cards could be tested successfully:
- bignumber-card: https://github.com/custom-cards/bignumber-card/blob/master/bignumber-card.js
- simple-thermostat: https://github.com/nervetattoo/simple-thermostat/releases (take the latest release)
- thermostat: https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace/tree/master/thermostat-card (both files .js and .lib.js are required)
The following custom cards could be tested successfully:
- `bignumber-card`: https://github.com/custom-cards/bignumber-card/blob/master/bignumber-card.js

- `thermostat`: https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace/tree/master/thermostat-card (both files .js and .lib.js are required)

I found this link https://github.com/jimz011/homeassistant as an interesting resource for custom cards.

Often the custom cards are stored on github as sources and must be compiled before use.
You should check the `Releases` menu on github and try to find compiled files there.

## Trouble Shooting
If you messed up the YAML Code and see a blank page but still have the top menu, you can enable edit mode (if not already enabled) from the menu and then open the menu again to access the "RAW Yaml Editor" in which you see the complete YAML code and can clean it up.
If that does not help, you can open the object lovelace.*.configuration in raw-editor in ioBroker and have a look there.
