Configuration

Main Options

Name Type Default Supported options Description
type string Required custom:button-card Type of the card
template string optional any valid template from button_card_templates See configuration template
entity string optional switch.ac entity_id
icon string optional mdi:air-conditioner Icon to display. Will be overriden by the icon defined in a state (if present). Defaults to the entity icon. Hide with show_icon: false. Supports templates, see templates
color_type string icon icon | card | blank-card | label-card Color either the background of the card or the icon inside the card. Setting this to card enable automatic font and icon color. This allows the text/icon to be readable even if the background color is bright/dark. Additional color-type options blank-card and label-card can be used for organisation (see examples).
color string optional auto | auto-no-temperature | rgb(28, 128, 199) Color of the icon/card. auto sets the color based on the color of a light including the temperature of the light. Setting this to auto-no-temperature will behave like home-assistant's default ignoring the temperature of the light. By default, if the entity state is off, the color will be var(--paper-item-icon-active-color), for on it will be var(--paper-item-icon-color) and for any other state it will be var(--primary-text-color). You can redefine each colors using state
size string 40% 20px Size of the icon. Can be percentage or pixel
aspect_ratio string optional 1/1, 2/1, 1/1.5, ... See here for an example. Aspect ratio of the card. 1/1 being a square. This will auto adapt to your screen size
tap_action object optional See Action Define the type of action on click, if undefined, toggle will be used.
hold_action object optional See Action Define the type of action on hold, if undefined, nothing happens.
dbltap_action object optional See Action Define the type of action on double click, if undefined, nothing happens.
name string optional Air conditioner Define an optional text to show below the icon. Supports templates, see templates
label string optional Any string that you want Display a label below the card. See Layouts for more information. Supports templates, see templates
show_name boolean true true | false Wether to show the name or not. Will pick entity_id's name by default, unless redefined in the name property or in any state name property
show_state boolean false true | false Show the state on the card. defaults to false if not set
show_icon boolean true true | false Wether to show the icon or not. Unless redefined in icon, uses the default entity icon from hass
show_units boolean true true | false Display or hide the units of a sensor, if any.
show_label boolean false true | false Display or hide the label
show_last_changed boolean false true | false Replace the label altogether and display the the last_changed attribute in a nice way (eg: 12 minutes ago)
show_entity_picture boolean false true | false Replace the icon by the entity picture (if any) or the custom picture (if any). Falls back to using the icon if both are undefined
entity_picture string optional Can be any of /local/* file or a URL Will override the icon/the default entity_picture with your own image. Best is to use a square image. You can also define one per state. Supports templates, see templates
units string optional Kb/s, lux, ... Override or define the units to display after the state of the entity. If omitted, it's using the entity's units
styles object list optional See styles
state object list optional See State State to use for the color, icon and style of the button. Multiple states can be defined
confirmation string optional Free-form text Show a confirmation popup on tap with defined text
lock boolean false true | false See lock. This will display a normal button with a lock symbol in the corner. Clicking the button will make the lock go away and enable the button to be manoeuvred for five seconds
unlock_users string list optional A list of users List of users allowed to unlock the button when lock: true. If not defined, everyone is allowed to unlock the button
layout string optional See Layout The layout of the button can be modified using this option
custom_fields object optional See Custom Fields

Action

All the fields support templates, see templates.

Name Type Default Supported options Description
action string toggle more-info, toggle, call-service, none, navigate, url Action to perform
entity string none Any entity id Only valid for action: more-info to override the entity on which you want to call more-info
navigation_path string none Eg: /lovelace/0/ Path to navigate to (e.g. /lovelace/0/) when action defined as navigate
url string none Eg: https://www.google.fr URL to open on click when action is url. The URL will open in a new tab
service string none Any service Service to call (e.g. media_player.media_play_pause) when action defined as call-service
service_data object none Any service data Service data to include (e.g. entity_id: media_player.bedroom) when action defined as call-service. If your service_data requires an entity_id, you can use the keywork entity, this will actually call the service on the entity defined in the main configuration of this card. Useful for configuration templates
haptic string none success, warning, failure, light, medium, heavy, selection Haptic feedback for the Beta IOS App
repeat number none eg: 500 For a hold_action, you can optionally configure the action to repeat while the button is being held down (for example, to repeatedly increase the volume of a media player). Define the number of milliseconds between repeat actions here.

State

Name Type Default Supported options Description
operator string == See Available Operators The operator used to compare the current state against the value
value string/number required (unless operator is default) If your entity is a sensor with numbers, use a number directly, else use a string The value which will be compared against the current state of the entity
name string optional Any string, 'Alert', 'My little switch is on', ... if show_name is true, the name to display for this state. If undefined, uses the general config name, and if undefined uses the entity name. Supports templates, see templates
icon string optional mdi:battery The icon to display for this state. Defaults to the entity icon. Hide with show_icon: false. Supports templates, see templates
color string var(--primary-text-color) Any color, eg: rgb(28, 128, 199) or blue The color of the icon (if color_type: icon) or the background (if color_type: card)
styles string optional See styles
spin boolean false true | false Should the icon spin for this state?
entity_picture string optional Can be any of /local/* file or a URL Will override the icon/the default entity_picture with your own image for this state. Best is to use a square image. Supports templates, see templates
label string optional Any string that you want Display a label below the card. See Layouts for more information. Supports templates, see templates

Available operators

The order of your elements in the state object matters. The first one which is true will match. The value field for all operators except regex support templating, see templates

Operator value example Description
< 5 Current state is inferior to value
<= 4 Current state is inferior or equal to value
== 42 or 'on' This is the default if no operator is specified. Current state is equal (== javascript) to value
>= 32 Current state is superior or equal to value
> 12 Current state is superior to value
!= 'normal' Current state is not equal (!= javascript) to value
regex '^norm.*$' value regex applied to current state does match
template See templates for examples. value needs to be a javascript expression which returns a boolean. If the boolean is true, it will match this state
default N/A If nothing matches, this is used

Layout

This option enables you to modify the layout of the card.

It is fully compatible with every show_* option. Make sure you set show_state: true if you want to show the state

Multiple values are possible, see the image below for examples:

  • vertical (default value if nothing is provided): Everything is centered vertically on top of each other
  • icon_name_state: Everything is aligned horizontally, name and state are concatenated, label is centered below
  • name_state: Icon sits on top of name and state concatenated on one line, label below
  • icon_name: Icon and name are horizontally aligned, state and label are centered below
  • icon_state: Icon and state are horizontally aligned, name and label are centered below
  • icon_label: Icon and label are horizontally aligned, name and state are centered below
  • icon_name_state2nd: Icon, name and state are horizontally aligned, name is above state, label below name and state
  • icon_state_name2nd: Icon, name and state are horizontally aligned, state is above name, label below name and state

layout_image

Templates

The template rendering uses a special format. All the fields where template is supported also support plain text. To activate the templating feature for such a field, you'll need to enclose the javascript function inside 3 square brakets: [[[ javascript function here ]]]

Don't forget to quote if it's on one line:

name: '[[[ if (entity.state > 42) return "Above 42"; else return "Below 42" ]]]'
name: >
  [[[
    if (entity.state > 42)
      return "Above 42;
    else
      return "Below 42;
  ]]]

Those are the configuration fields which support templating:

  • name (Supports also HTML rendering): This needs to return a string
  • label (Supports also HTML rendering): This needs to return a string
  • entity_picture: This needs to return a path to a file or a url as a string.
  • icon: This needs to return a string in the format mdi:icon
  • All the styles in the style object: This needs to return a string
  • All the value of the state object, appart when the operator is regex
    • operator: template: The function for value needs to return a boolean
    • Else: The function for value needs to return a string or a number
  • All the custom_fields (Support also HTML rendering)
  • All the styles: Each entry needs to return a string (See here for some examples)

Inside the javascript code, you'll have access to those variables:

  • entity: The current entity object, if the entity is defined in the card
  • states: An object with all the states of all the entities (equivalent to hass.states)
  • user: The user object (equivalent to hass.user)
  • hass: The complete hass object

See here for some examples or here for some crazy advanced stuff using templates!

Styles

All the styles entries, support Templating, see here for some examples.

Easy styling options

For each element in the card, styles can be defined in 2 places:

  • in the main part of the config
  • in each state

Styles defined in each state are additive with the ones defined in the main part of the config. In the state part, just define the ones specific to your current state and keep the common ones in the main part of the config.

The style object members are:

  • card: styles for the card itself. Styles that are defined here will be applied to the whole card and it's content, unless redefined in elements below.
  • icon: styles for the icon
  • entity_picture: styles for the picture (if any)
  • name: styles for the name
  • state: styles for the state
  • label: styles for the label
  • lock: styles for the lock icon (see here for the default style)
  • custom_fields: styles for each of your custom field. See Custom Fields
- type: custom:button-card
  [...]
  styles:
    card:
      - xxxx: value
    icon:
      - xxxx: value
    entity_picture:
      - xxxx: value
    name:
      - xxxx: value
    state:
      - xxxx: value
    label:
      - xxxx: value
  state:
    - value: 'on'
      styles:
        card:
          - yyyy: value
        icon:
          - yyyy: value
        entity_picture:
          - yyyy: value
        name:
          - yyyy: value
        state:
          - yyyy: value
        label:
          - yyyy: value

This will render:

  • The card with the styles xxxx: value and yyyy: value applied
  • Same for all the others.

See styling for a complete example.

Light entity color variable

If a light entity is assigned to the button, then:

  • the CSS variable --button-card-light-color will contain the current light color
  • the CSS variable --button-card-light-color-no-temperature will contain the current light without the temperature

You can use them both in other parts of the button. When off, it will be set to var(--paper-item-icon-color)

css-var

styles:
  name:
    - color: var(--button-card-light-color)
  card:
    - -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 9px 3px var(--button-card-light-color)
    - box-shadow: 0px 0px 9px 3px var(--button-card-light-color)

ADVANCED styling options

For advanced styling, there are 2 other options in the styles config object:

  • grid: mainly layout for the grid
  • img_cell: mainly how you position your icon in it's cell

This is how the button is constructed (HTML elements): elements in the button

The grid element uses CSS grids to design the layout of the card:

  • img_cell element is going to the grid-area: i by default
  • name element is going to the grid-area: n by default
  • state element is going to the grid-area: s by default
  • label element is going to the grid-area: l by default

You can see how the default layouts are constructed here and inspire yourself with it. We'll not support advanced layout questions here, please use home-assitant's community forum for that.

To learn more, please use Google and this excellent guide about CSS Grids :)

Some examples:

  • label on top:

    styles:
  grid:
    - grid-template-areas: '"l" "i" "n" "s"'
    - grid-template-rows: min-content 1fr min-content min-content
    - grid-template-columns: 1fr

  • icon on the right side (by overloading an existing layout):

    - type: "custom:button-card"
  entity: sensor.sensor1
  layout: icon_state_name2nd
  show_state: true
  show_name: true
  show_label: true
  label: label
  styles:
    grid:
      - grid-template-areas: '"n i" "s i" "l i"'
      - grid-template-columns: 1fr 40%

  • Apple Homekit-like buttons:

    apple-like-buttons

    - type: custom:button-card
  entity: switch.skylight
  name: <3 Apple
  icon: mdi:fire
  show_state: true
  styles:
    card:
      - width: 100px
      - height: 100px
    grid:
      - grid-template-areas: '"i" "n" "s"'
      - grid-template-columns: 1fr
      - grid-template-rows: 1fr min-content min-content
    img_cell:
      - align-self: start
      - text-align: start
    name:
      - justify-self: start
      - padding-left: 10px
      - font-weight: bold
      - text-transform: lowercase
    state:
      - justify-self: start
      - padding-left: 10px
  state:
    - value: 'off'
      styles:
        card:
          - filter: opacity(50%)
        icon:
          - filter: grayscale(100%)

Custom Fields

Custom fields support, using the custom_fields object, enables you to create your own fields on top of the pre-defined ones (name, state, label and icon). This is an advanced feature which leverages (if you require it) the CSS Grid.

Each custom field supports its own styling config, the name needs to match between both objects needs to match:

- type: custom:button-card
  [...]
  custom_fields:
    test_element: My test element
  styles:
    custom_fields:
      test_element:
        - color: red
        - font-size: 13px

Examples are better than a long text, so here you go:

  • Placing an element wherever you want (that means bypassing the grid). Set the grid to position: relative and set the element to position: absolute

    custom_fields_1

      - type: custom:button-card
    icon: mdi:lightbulb
    aspect_ratio: 1/1
    name: Nb lights on
    styles:
      grid:
        - position: relative
      custom_fields:
        notification:
          - background-color: >
              [[[
                if (states['input_number.test'].state == 0)
                  return "green";
                return "red";
              ]]]
          - border-radius: 50%
          - position: absolute
          - left: 60%
          - top: 10%
          - height: 20px
          - width: 20px
          - font-size: 8px
          - line-height: 20px
    custom_fields:
      notification: >
        [[[ return Math.floor(states['input_number.test'].state / 10) ]]]

  • Or you can use the grid. Each element will have it's name positioned as the grid-area:

    custom_fields_2

      - type: custom:button-card
    entity: 'sensor.raspi_temp'
    icon: 'mdi:raspberry-pi'

              if (entity.state >= 60 && entity.state < 80) return 'orange';
              else return 'red';
            ]]]
        - width: 70%
        - margin-top: -10%
      custom_fields:

Configuration Templates

General

  • Define your config template in the main lovelace configuration and then use it in your button-card. This will avoid a lot of repetitions! It's basically YAML anchors, but without using YAML anchors and is very useful if you split your config in multiple files 😄
  • You can overload any parameter with a new one
  • You can merge states together by id when using templates. The states you want to merge have to have the same id. This id parameter is new and can be anything (string, number, ...). States without id will be appended to the state array. Styles embedded in a state are merged together as usual. See here for an example.
  • You can also inherit another template from within a template.

In ui-lovelace.yaml (or in another file using !import)

button_card_templates:
  header:
    styles:
      card:
        - padding: 5px 15px
        - background-color: var(--paper-item-icon-active-color)
      name:
        - text-transform: uppercase
        - color: var(--primary-background-color)
        - justify-self: start
        - font-weight: bold
      label:
        - text-transform: uppercase
        - color: var(--primary-background-color)
        - justify-self: start
        - font-weight: bold

  header_red:
    template: header
    styles:
      card:
        - background-color: '#FF0000'

  my_little_template:
    [...]

And then where you use button-card, you can apply this template, and/or overload it:

- type: custom:button-card
  template: header_red
  name: My Test Header

Merging state by id

Example to merge state by id:

button_card_templates:
  sensor:
    styles:
      card:
        - font-size: 16px
        - width: 75px
    tap_action:
      action: more-info
    state:
      - color: orange
        value: 75
        id: my_id

  sensor_humidity:
    template: sensor
    icon: 'mdi:weather-rainy'
    state:
      - color: 'rgb(255,0,0)'
        operator: '>'
        value: 50
      - color: 'rgb(0,0,255)'
        operator: '<'
        value: 25

  sensor_test:
    template: sensor_humidity
    state:
      - color: pink
        id: my_id
        operator: '>'
        value: 75
        styles:
          name:
            - color: '#ff0000'
############### Used like this ##############
  - type: custom:button-card
    template: sensor_test
    entity: input_number.test
    show_entity_picture: true

Will result in this state object for your button (styles, operator and color are overridden for the id: my_id as you can see):

state:
  - color: pink
    operator: '>'
    value: 75
    styles:
      name:
        - color: '#ff0000'
  - color: 'rgb(255,0,0)'
    operator: '>'
    value: 50
  - color: 'rgb(0,0,255)'
    operator: '<'
    value: 25

Configuration with states

Input select card with select next service and custom color and icon for states. In the example below the icon mdi:cube-outline will be used when value is sleeping and mdi:cube in other cases.

cube

Default behavior

If you don't specify any operator, == will be used to match the current state against the value

- type: "custom:button-card"
  entity: input_select.cube_mode
  icon: mdi:cube
  tap_action:
    action: call-service
    service: input_select.select_next
    service_data:
      entity_id: input_select.cube_mode
  show_state: true
  state:
    - value: "sleeping"
      color: var(--disabled-text-color)
      icon: mdi:cube-outline
    - value: "media"
      color: rgb(5, 147, 255)
    - value: "light"
      color: rgb(189, 255, 5)

With Operator on state

The definition order matters, the first item to match will be the one selected.

- type: "custom:button-card"
  entity: sensor.temperature
  show_state: true
  state:
    - value: 15
      operator: '<='
      color: blue
      icon: mdi:thermometer-minus
    - value: 25
      operator: '>='
      color: red
      icon: mdi:thermometer-plus
    - operator: 'default' # used if nothing matches
      color: yellow
      icon: mdi: thermometer
      styles:
        card:
          - opacity: 0.5

tap_action Navigate

Buttons can link to different views using the navigate action:

- type: "custom:button-card"
  color_type: label-card
  icon: mdi:home
  name: Go To Home
  tap_action:
    action: navigate
    navigation_path: /lovelace/0

The navigation_path also accepts any Home Assistant internal URL such as /dev-info or /hassio/dashboard for example.

blink

You can make the whole button blink:

blink-animation

- type: "custom:button-card"
  color_type: card
  entity: binary_sensor.intruder
  name: Intruder Alert
  state:
    - value: "on"
      color: red
      icon: mdi:alert
      styles:
        card:
          - animation: blink 2s ease infinite
    - operator: default
      color: green
      icon: mdi:shield-check

Play with width, height and icon size

Through the styles you can specify the width and height of the card, and also the icon size through the main size option. Playing with icon size will growth the card unless a height is specified.

If you specify a width for the card, it has to be in px. All the cards without a width defined will use the remaining space on the line.
