requires an input_boolean to track the state
ulm_weather This is your weather provider.
Example: weather.your_provider
ulm_language Language of your system You can set a different format with the BCP-47 language tags
Example: "en-US" or just "en"
entity_1 auto-entities Can be any common type of entity
if no entity is specified defaults to auto-entities
entity_2 auto-entities Can be any common type of entity
if no entity is specified defaults to auto-entities
entity_3 auto-entities Can be any common type of entity
if no entity is specified defaults to auto-entities
entity_4 auto-entities Can be any common type of entity
if no entity is specified defaults to auto-entities
entity_5 auto-entities Can be any common type of entity

Entity Variables

Variable Default Required Notes
_entity_id Support almost all types of entities
Scenes do always show as off
_icon The icon to show
_name The name to show
_color Random Color of the icon
Can choose between: blue, red, green, yellow, pink, purple
If not specified, it will take a random color
_state on or playing Define input_select state or give manual state for pill to be full
_nav_path Navigate to another view
Overrides other types of actions
_service_data Data to be passed through to data_service. Useful for running scripts with custom fields/parameters

Requirement Collapse Function

This feature is fully optional. It requires some more manual configuration!

You need to create a input_boolean in HA to track the state. See Docs. Furthermore, you need to add the input_boolean to the variable ulm_card_welcome_scenes_collapse and to either the entity or triggers_update to make sure it directly refreshes the state.

Warning

Do not use triggers_update: "all"! This will lead to unwanted behavior with the random colors generator.

Usage

You can set 1 to 7 entities to show 1 to 7 pills dynamically
If set none it uses auto-entities with max 5 pills
