Lovelace Soft UI

A new user friendly, simple and clean Lovelace configuration

license user_friendly maintainer

lovelace_soft_UI

Introduction

First and foremost thank you for finding your way to my Home Assistant repo. This is my Home Assistant Lovelace user interface configuration. I've been using Home Assistant for a little less than a year now (not so long), and it has brought me a huge amount of joy!

Lovelace is the primary interface for Home Assistant, it is used to display all sorts of information. Sometimes though an excessive amount of information is displayed. My take on Lovelace is for it to be simple and drew some inspiration from Soft UI. I've tried to make this easy enough for even a very new user to able to implement it :)

Home Assistant forum discussions are here

Here are some pictures:

Prerequisites

This is the first part of the step by step guide.

Please note I have posted my YAML above, if you prefer that instead.

These are some of the things you need before getting started.

Custom Cards

You will need the following custom cards to be installed, it is easily done via HACS. Please read HACS documentations and install the following cards.

Required

Optional

sun.sun

For the cards to switch automatically to a dark/light theme, please make sure you have the sun.sun entity (should come preinstalled). If you don't have it please add the following to your configuration.yaml.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sun:

Theme Switching Automation

You would need to have an automation setup for automatically switching to a dark theme at sunset and back to a light them at sunrise. If you don't have one please add the following to your automations.yaml.

Click here

# Example automations.yaml entry
- alias: "Light theme after Sunrise"
  trigger:
    platform: sun
    event: sunrise
  action:
    - service: frontend.set_theme
      data:
# Change this to the name of your light theme
        name: Light

- alias: "Dark theme after Sunset"
  trigger:
    platform: sun
    event: sunset
  action:
    - service: frontend.set_theme
      data:
# Change this to the name of your dark theme
        name: Dark

- alias: 'Light theme after reboot in day'
  trigger:
    platform: homeassistant
    event: start
  condition:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: sun.sun
      state: 'above_horizon'
  action:
    service: frontend.set_theme
    data:
# Change this to the name of your light theme
      name: Light

- alias: 'Dark theme after reboot in night'
  trigger:
    platform: homeassistant
    event: start
  condition:
    condition: state
    entity_id: sun.sun
    state: 'below_horizon'
  action:
    service: frontend.set_theme
    data:
# Change this to the name of your dark theme
      name: Dark

Themes

This is the second part of the step by step guide.

Themes can also be installed with HACS, manual installation docs are here. @JuanMTech also made a great video explaining how to setup themes.

Light Themes

Any light theme consisting a milky white background should work.

Please note the background cannot be pure white.

Google Home Light theme UI Clear theme UI
Google Home Light theme and Clear theme, by @liri and @naofireblade

Dark Themes

Any dark theme consisting a dark grey/black background should work.

Please note the background of the theme cannot be completely black.

The following themes are available in HACS.

Slate theme UI Grey Night theme UI
Slate theme and Grey Night theme, by @seangreen2 and @ksya

Compact Header

You can either have the header match the background color or display it's own color.

Dark mint theme with color header Dark mint theme without color header
Slate theme header with and without color.

Click on the three dots on the top right, then go to Configure UI then Raw config editor.

Add the following if you would like the header to match the background color:

# Example entry
custom_header:
  background: var(--primary-background-color);
  compact_mode: true

Only add the following if you would like the header to display it's own color:

# Example entry
custom_header:
  compact_mode: true

Cards

This is the third part of the step by step guide.

Finally we've arrived on how to configure the cards themselves. All the cards below will be able to adjust to dark/light themes depending on if the sun is above or below the horizon.

The following adding of cards uses the UI editor. If you use YAML mode, my YAML is above.

To add cards using the UI editor, click on the three dots on the top right, then go to Configure UI then click on the + on the bottom right, then select MANUAL CARD

Paste in the appropriate text for each card.

Vertical Buttons Card

Vertical buttons card with the Light and Dark themes.

Custom cards needed

Template used to count how many lights are on

{{ states | selectattr('entity_id','in', ['light.list_your_lights_here','switch.example_1','switch.example_2'] )|selectattr('state','eq','on') | list | count }}

The following code will create three buttons: lights, alarm clock and irrigation. Each of the buttons will redirect you to a Lovelace tab with the corresponding name, i.e lovelace/lights. You can change the icons, names, redirect tabs, and texts beside them.

To have a simple Soft UI look on other cards, what you have to do is set the card background as the same as the theme background as well as round the corners then adding a dark and light shadow. It can be done (with Card Mod) like this:

# Example entry
style: |
   ha-card {
     background-color: var(--primary-background-color);
     border-radius: 15px;
     box-shadow: 
       {% if is_state('sun.sun', 'above_horizon') %}
         -8px -8px 8px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.5),8px 8px 8px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.03);
       {% else %}
         -8px -8px 8px 0 rgba(50, 50, 50,.5),8px 8px 8px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.15);
       {% endif %}   
   }
