Ah so glad that I already use two of the 5 suggested HACS front-end cards, namely mini graph card and mini media player and glad to add the swipe navigation to that. The only gripe I have with Lovelace currently is how it decides how your cards should display when viewing HA on a large display - all over the place. On a mobile phone, they all display under each other in the way that you organised them which is great, but there is really no easy way to to arrange your cards when viewing on your PC or large tablet. I hope that you'll do a video one day on how to do exactly that with the precision of where the card should go as well as the ability to set the width / height of the card. The solutions currently have their flaws and I cannot seem to get this right. Again, thanks for the vid.

Hey Glen. Thanks for your feedback :) I do have a dashboards video planned which might be of interest to you. I will get round to it eventually :) There was also a project in the works for bringing drag and drop placement to HA but I think it’s currently on hold.

I get a warning: "After the download completes, since you are not using Lovelace in storage mode you need to manually add the resource with these settings:". I dug into a big and I see you can run in storage/UI controlled mode or YAML mode.. Can you explain how this all works and the pros and cons in a vid? Sure I proceed or address this error before moving on? thanks!

Is there something more I need to do after downloading the repository? Thanks.

Are you aware of a way or a card that allows you to add tags or variables for things like the title, text, emoji or color background so these thins can be conditionally changed? For example with the banner card if I did some NAS data can I change the background to Red from whatever the normal color is if there is an issue like an update available or a drive issue?

Hi ! Do you think HACS are stable and secure enough?
@MarkWattTech3 жыл бұрын
Hey Luis. There is always a risk with adding any third party bits to your HA install. But the HA devz are constantly improving and working on security and often any components with vulnerabilities etc are quickly patched and reported by the awesome HA community. I have done a couple of security announcement videos if your interested in any previous HA issues and talk about vulnerabilities and HACS safety. Just be careful where you are adding custom repos from and what scripts and code you copy. Stability wise the components are generally pretty solid and most of the owners update there bits to stay in line with the latest version of HA. Cheers :)
