Customizations

Noteworthy customizations I made.

clock-weather-card

I was looking for a weather card that was as compact as possible. The clock-weather-card was a good start, but with its default settings, it wasn't compact enough for me. I used lovelace-card-mod to add some custom CSS to it. It was pretty hacky until I discovered Bubble-Card's sub-buttons. With this, I was able to get rid of most of the custom CSS and simply display the current temperature as a sub-button of the calendar separator. Here is the full YAML for this card:

type: custom:clock-weather-card
entity: weather.forecast_home
temperature_sensor: sensor.aussentemperatur
humidity_sensor: sensor.aussentemperatur_2
hide_today_section: true
forecast_rows: 3
card_mod:
  style: |
    ha-card {
      --bar-height: 1em !important;
    }

Conditional coloring for humidity sensors and windows

I was looking for a way to notice high humidity and opened windows at a glance. This was an easy one since Bubble-Card offers styling by default.

This is the custom style I used for humidity:

.switch-button {
  background-color: ${state > '64' ? 'indianred' : ''} !important;
}

This is the custom style I used for windows:

.switch-button {
  background-color: ${state === 'on' ? '#e2aa60' : ''} !important;
}

Hide completed items on To-do list card

Completed items are still displayed in the To-do list card. They can't be hidden by default.

I used lovelace-card-mod to add some custom CSS to it.

This is the full YAML for this card:

type: todo-list
entity: todo.zuhause
card_mod:
  style: |
    .completed {
      display: none;
    }
    .header:not([role=seperator]) {
      display: none;
    }
    .divider {
      display: none;
    }
