How To Add A Templated Markdown Card To Home Assistant

[@Shaq2k]

This is good, but there are still things I can't figure out: I'm struggling hard do figure out how to span the same background picture all over the dashboard. I'm using different cards within that stack-in card, but I'm not able to get a transparant setting for those different cards I'm also using grid-layout with grid layout templates.

Very helpful

The if -then-else statement for the switch is unnecessary. Simplify by just printing the state of the switch just like you print the weather state.

[@HassAssistant]

Yes you are right that would work. If I didn't want to print "off" or "on" and instead "Running" or "Not Running", then the method in this video would be the preferred method.

I really enjoy your dashboard videos and have followed every single one of them. Thanks. Unfortunately there is one thing that messed things up for me and that is the device tracker that you showed. After that I have had problems showing my position. The device tracker you added only shows home or away and not which zone I am in. It therefore no longer works and even though I removed it from configuration.yaml the entity remains and I cannot remove it. Somehow it has kind of taken over as the device tracker, but I can't delete the entity. "This entity has no unique id and therefore cannot be managed from the UI" is the information I get. Can you help me in any way?

when you delete from the config.yaml and (if possible) delete from the entities page within the Devices & Services page, on the next home assistant restart, the entity should no longer be in home assistant.

@@HassAssistant Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, it doesn't help. I have removed the code from configuration.yaml and restarted several times without it disappearing. Is there a way to give it a unique id via code in configuration.yaml? That's what it says is missing in order to access the entity.

@@HassAssistant Little feedback after some research and investigation. The new device tracker was probably not the problem for me, but it was an integration I installed that messed with my zones and needed some other settings. As for the new device tracker, I have seen that it created a file called "known_devices.yaml". I can't manage to remove the new entity in any way, but in that file there is a setting where you can choose "track: true" or "track: false" if you find some reason not to use it.

hi! Is any chance to color text " Adan is home" ?

[@HassAssistant]

Yeah I actually have this included on my home assistant, so will make a video on this.

What’s is a markdown card?

[@HassAssistant]

A markdown card in Home Assistant is a way to display text and formatting in a user interface using the Markdown language. It can be customized and is often used to display instructions, descriptions, or alerts.
