page	Views	The Lovelace UI is a powerful and configurable interface for Home Assistant.	2018-07-01 10:28 +00:00	true	false	true	true

To display cards on the UI you have to define them in views. Views sort cards in columns based on their card size. If you want to group some cards you have to use stack cards.

Use titles and icons to describe the content of views.

{% configuration views %} views: required: true description: A list of view configurations. type: list keys: title: required: true description: The title or name. type: string badges: required: false description: List of entities IDs to display as badge. type: list cards: required: false description: Cards to display in this view. type: list path: required: false description: Paths are used in the URL, more info below. type: string default: view index icon: required: false description: Icon-name from Material Design Icons. type: string panel: required: false description: Renders the view in panel mode, more info below. type: boolean default: "false" background: required: false description: Style the background using CSS, more info below. type: string theme: required: false description: Themes view and cards, more info below. type: string {% endconfiguration %}

Paths

You can link to one view from another view by its path. For this use cards that support navigation (navigation_path). Do not use special characters in paths.

Example

View config:

- title: Living room
  # the final path is /lovelace/living_room
  path: living_room

Picture card config:

- type: picture
  image: /local/living_room.png
  tap_action:
    action: navigate
    navigation_path: /lovelace/living_room

Icons

If you define an icon the title will be used as a tool-tip.

Example

- title: Garden
  icon: mdi:flower

Panel mode

This renders the first card on full width, other cards in this view will not be rendered. Good for cards like map, stack or picture-elements.

Example

- title: Map
  panel: true
  cards:
    - type: map
      entities:
        - device_tracker.demo_paulus
        - zone.home

Background

Style the background of views using CSS. For wallpapers you probably want to use the example below, more options can be found here.

Example

- title: Living room
  background: center / cover no-repeat url("/local/background.png") fixed

Themes

Set a separate theme for the view and its cards.

Example

- title: Home
  theme: happy
