Create Stunning ANIMATED MUSHROOM CARDS On Your Dashboard NOW!

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

What do you think of Animated Mushroom Cards? And did you implement it yourself? Let me know in the comments!

[@davidr521]

Ed - another great video! Perhaps I missed it, but I'm trying to use the mushroom-climate-card and animate the icon, and I'm unable to figure it out. Any ideas? (ED)IT (pun intendED): I figured it out!

[@horaciohermosillo3417]

These mushroom cards are awesome and makes HA look great but is there a way to change the color of the card instead of just the icon based on the state? not sure if I didn't see it.

[@BallsworthBallsbury]

Ed, your HA tutorials are the best on the Internet! It's clear you put a lot of thought and effort into editing them so they're informative and easy to follow, even for complex topics like this. Thank you for all you do! You are a gift to this community, my friend

Another great video. I am really glad I opted to use home assistant and found your videos. They along with another presenter have helped me immensly in getting my house automation and the dashboards looking and performing well. The good part is I am just getting started and so there is so much more to learn.

[@miketargaryen1210]

Hello, thanks for another lovely video! Sorry if this has been asked/covered before, but how would we approach an animated chip, however it would be based on the state of the weather forecast of an entity So if it cloudy show a cloudy animation or snow if snowing etc.... I hope this makes sense.

[@DutchCorvette]

Thanks for this video it's really helpful

[@gambler3k]

can u make a template chip with conditional and still animate icons?

[@ziezoenie-2023]

This would be interesting yes :)

[@dragoscaragea5307]

Great tutorial. Is it possible to have a more in depth explanation of how the multiple CSS elements inside the mushroom card work? For example I’d like to edit the TV volume bar in the media mushroom card and I can’t seem to be able to find what/how exactly it should be edited. Thanks!

[@Petersoniq]

Thank you for your animation examples. Did you have same example have animate icon base on numeric sensor - like temperature?

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

You can just change the if statement to check on the temperature sensor value and you'll be fine.

[@piotrzadrozynski7197]

Really cool. One question about performance of Dwain Dashboard with such cards? Dwain's dashboard with a lot of hidden entities is really lagging on older tablets, so what will happen if I use animations?

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

I'm not sure if this will work with Dwains Dashboard to be honest. But, performance shouldn't be an issue using CSS. It's really lightweight.

[@JasperJanssen]

Okay, this is super clever and cool - but I will not be doing it, at least not for now.

[@frason85]

Nice one 👍Just did the washing machine animation, but I'm a bit disappointed to see that the icon color is more saturated with the stacked cards. Maybe because there are two semitransparent icons on top of each other, making it less transparent? Any tips on this? Looks weird with another card next to it with a "different" color, although I've chosen the same color for the icon. Can i remove the background color from the icon on the second card somehow?

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

Hmmmz, I did not experience that before. Maybe it's because of a theme you use?

[@frason85]

@@SmartHomeJunkie I've tried the Mushroom themes, noctis and some other themes, all with the same effect. Its obvious if i set the top position of the cards slightly offset that the overlapping part is more opaque. I've "solved" it for now setting the icon_color for the animated card to ' ', which makes the "laundry" part of that icon black, but the rest gets no color, so the "laundry" part stays black and the rest amber ss set in the first card.

[@frason85]

@@SmartHomeJunkie Tweaked it a little, using a conditional card showing the animated card, so the washing machine looks empty when not running 👍 Posted a video with the increased opacity problem aswell if you'd want to see what I mean.

[@robertvasey]

@@frason85 I had the same issue and spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to solve... but finally found a solution. Using developer tools in the browser I noticed in the mushroom-shape-icon that background-color was being inherited from a parent element "shape". So if you reference .shape in your CSS and set background-color to transparent it should be solved. mushroom-shape-icon$: | ha-icon { clip-path: polygon(blah blah blah); background-color: none; } .shape { background-color: transparent !important; }

[@SanilSahadevan]

Thank you so much ... all of these excellent tips... works a treat.. my dashboard looks good... btw i have a doubt... these examples.. I have followed them to the word.. but i don't understand how you get these element names... like.. mushroom-template-chip, mushroom-shape-icon, ha-icon.. etc.. how can i retrieve those names

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

These are the css tags in the code of the webpage.

[@SanilSahadevan]

@@SmartHomeJunkie.. Will you be able to make a short video on how to retrieve those tags and how to use them in the cards for different styles editing... Im kind of stuck in one of your other videos with grid layout for dashboard... And using grid areas..

excellent , thanks much , i tried to impelment it on single simple "button" card but didnt work for , can i add card_mod to "button" card ?

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

This tutorial only works on mushroom cards because the CSS points Mushroom CSS tags in the code. If you want to do this for a simple button, you need to point to the CSS of that button instead.

[@Avico78]

@@SmartHomeJunkie thanks , it would be great if could prepare a tutorial about customization non mushroom cards ,again thanks for your work!

[@PeterLindh]

Thanks for your excellent videos and tutorials! Is there a way to make the animation with the washing machine work even if I add "secondary:" with info from for example a temperature sensor? Adding that line puts the center of the icons in different positions.

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

I think so yes. You have to fiddle with the position value I guess.

Hi Ed, Loving this - thanks so much for the detailed tutorial. I know you're also a Dwains Dashboard user - just wondering if you'd managed to get animated icons working on DD? I've got a whole heap of custom animations working on my test dashboard (standard lovelace), but as soon as I try to transfer to Dwains Dashboard none of it works :(

[@brianredmond7891]

Great video! Is it possible to animate other icons similarly, or only mushroom card icons? I'm using a paper-buttons-row card for displaying my sprinklers and I would like to animate the sprinklers as you did.

[@westcoastpyro9769]

This is fantastic and I'm going to add this heavily into my new dashboard. However I really want to be able to animate the badges in the mushroom template cards... Say add a spinning fan badge for my furnace. The main icon is the dancing flame, but i want the badge to show a fan spinning when the system's fan is on. Been trying to isolate it in developer tools. Found the div.icon and the slot marked "badge" but my css is really not very good so I'm struggling to transfer that information to the yaml to make it work.

[@MichaelRnnChristensen]

Super nice - thanks. I almost made it all way through implementing my own nice version in my own home assistant, but the tumble dryer is bugging me. I find it extremely hard to create the clip-path for the icon with the inner circle removed using the "CSS Clip-Path Generator". I'm creating a similar animation using the "heat-pump" icon, trying to make the inner fan spin. The clip-path for the inner circle ("icon 2") is easy, but I'm unable to do the trick without the inner circle ("icon 1"). Is there a trick I have missed?

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

I can totally understand. If you recreate the polygon of the washing machine on the washing machine icon on the CSS Clip Path Generator site, you'll see how that one is created and that will give you a hint on how to create your own for the heat pump! You can recreate this with a custom polygon on that site.

if you only want to have it animate when its on/open, or whatever you can do this card_mod: style: | @keyframes boing { 0% { transform: scale3d(1, 1, 1); } 7% { transform: scale3d(1.25, 0.75, 1); } 10% { transform: scale3d(0.75, 1.25, 1); } 12% { transform: scale3d(1.25, 0.85, 1); } 16% { transform: scale3d(0.95, 1.05, 1); } 19% { transform: scale3d(1.05, 0.95, 1); } 25% { transform: scale3d(1, 1, 1); } } ha-icon { animation: {%- set sensor = states('binary_sensor.front_door_sensor') %} {%- if sensor == 'on' %}boing 3s linear infinite; transform-origin: 50% 90%; {%- endif %} } bascially I change the icon color and all the other text and icon info in the usual place, but just added this to the bottom of the card, and it animates the boing only when the door is open.

[@DIPDIPOTATOCHIP]

As this is in a nice compact locationm you could add other keyframes and add a elseif 😊

[@MBI_BOY]

I couldn't get the bounce animation to work with card-mod. Having the updated yaml available would help me.

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

I understand your frustration. It can be tricky to get animations to work sometimes. I've added some hints to the description of this video to handle the changes that were made in Home Assistant.

[@BruhMan_5]

Even though it's not worth it since they're so small, is it possible to animate the icon badges also

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

Yes, I think it is if you address the right css selector.

[@marcopaolidds]

how to make it work over an "Horizontal Stack Card Configuration"? i can not manage to work it out using your code. it miss the "chips:" line, but where to insert it? could I show you the code?

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

You need to hook into the right css tag.

[@user-mfsc-2024]

for testing and simplicity i just add two template chips and simple css code to change the icon color. But it didnt work. type: custom:mushroom-chips-card chips: - type: template double_tap_action: action: none entity: switch.ac_conditioner hold_action: action: none icon: mdi:fan content: Adrian tap_action: action: toggle icon_color: '' - type: template double_tap_action: action: none entity: switch.ac_conditioner icon: mdi:fan tap_action: action: none hold_action: action: none card_mod: style: mushroom-template-chip:nth-child(2)$: | ha-icon { color: green; } ` the 2nd icon wont change to green

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

You don't need card-mod to change the icon color. You can just enter the icon color in the card itself.

[@mrfixitpa]

With the purchase of this code, does it include the boolean code also needed on some of these?

I have some family and friends I’d like to add to HASS as people. I’d like to make them have access to my HASS system but only want them to see a particular dashboard. I don’t want them to see anything other than allow them to open my gate and front door. I have all this for myself, but of course I have total access. I don’t want my family and friends to see anything but what I want them to see and use. Is there a way to have multi-user, but with restricted permissions?

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

Yes, there are multiple ways. Good idea for a future video!

[@JonteRiele]

Hi, Great video! I was checking your Washing Machine animation and the way you position the second icon on top of the first. I got it working like you have and it looks good on my browser on my laptop. In the companion app (iPhone) it isn't. The second icon, the animating circle, seems to be positioned too high. Do you have the that as well? Any suggestions to fix this for both?

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

That shouldn't be the case. Is have to double check in the companion app, but it should behave the same way. I'll get back to you as soon as I've seen this behavior at my end.

[@JonteRiele]

Did you have time already to check this?

[@andjohansen83]

Did you find a solution for this? I have the same issue on companion app with android though@@JonteRiele

[@andjohansen83]

I found that setting top: -95px did the trick on companion app. However this screws up the layout on normal browser. So not really sure why is behaves different on browser and app.

Great guide! I've followed it to create a mushroom template card in which the adguard shield icon flips when i click it, but it does not seem to work. The animation does work for a chip card, but i'd like to show some text below the icon so i went for a template card. Any idea what i'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance! type: custom:mushroom-template-card entity: switch.adguard_home_protection layout: vertical primary: |- {% if is_state('switch.adguard_home_protection', 'on') %} Filtering {% else %} Off {% endif %} icon: |- {% if is_state('switch.adguard_home_protection', 'on') %} mdi:shield-check {% else %} mdi:shield-alert {% endif %} icon_color: |- {% if is_state('switch.adguard_home_protection', 'on') %} green {% else %} grey {% endif %} tap_action: action: toggle card_mod: style: mushroom-shape-icon$: | ha-state-icon { {{ 'animation: rotateYp .25s linear;' if is_state('switch.adguard_home_protection', 'on') }} } @keyframes rotateYp { 0% { transform: rotateY( 60deg); } 20% { transform: rotateY( 120deg); } 40% { transform: rotateY( 180deg); } 60% { transform: rotateY( 240deg); } 80% { transform: rotateY( 300deg); } 100% { transform: rotateY( 360deg); } } ha-state-icon { {{ 'animation: rotateYn .25s linear;' if is_state('switch.adguard_home_protection', 'off') }} } @keyframes rotateYn { 100% { transform: rotateY( 360deg); } 80% { transform: rotateY( 300deg); } 60% { transform: rotateY( 240deg); } 40% { transform: rotateY( 180deg); } 20% { transform: rotateY( 120deg); } 0% { transform: rotateY( 60deg); } }

[@IBetraye]

Just figured it out by using the ha-state-icon selector > ha-icon. You might want to adjust that in your guide as well?

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

I already did that in the description of the video. Also the code that can be downloaded is changed as well so that it works with the latest version of the Mushroom cards.

Really nice video, have played around with animations a bit now, and want to spin a badge icon in a mushroom template card, but i cant find a way to apply the animation to that part. In my head replacing this: card_mod: style: mushroom-shape-icon$: | ha-icon { {{ '--icon-animation: spin 1s linear infinite;' if is_state('binary_sensor.some_sensor', 'on') }} } with : card_mod: style: mushroom-badge-icon$: | ha-icon { {{ '--icon-animation: spin 1s linear infinite;' if is_state('binary_sensor.some_sensor', 'on') }} } should work, but it dosent, anybody know if it is possible to animate the badge icon?
