How to use custom entities of configuration.yaml?

[superabbite1]

The custom entities in configuration.yaml do not have area information. How can these entities be used?

Entities need a unique_id to be listed in HA entity-register and to assign them to an area.

Did you read the Adding devices to areas section in the readme?

Maybe it's a solution for your situation!?

Unfortunately, some entities created via the configuration.yaml file are not able to have a unique_id. You can use the extra_cards option for areas to add a card on the top of the view.

For example

strategy:
  type: custom:mushroom-strategy
  options:
    areas:
      family_room_id:
        name: Family Room
        icon: mdi:television
        icon_color: green
        order: 1
        extra_cards:
          - type: custom:mushroom-entity-card
            entity: cover.curtain

For example, I have customized the following code entities in configuration.yaml. How should I configure the area so that mushroom can recognize it?

cover:
  - platform: template
    covers:
      custom_cover:
        device_class: gate
        friendly_name: "curtain test"
        position_template: "{{ states('input_number.cover_position') }}"
        open_cover:
          service: select.select_option
          data:
            entity_id: select.remote_ir_1706309535964229632
            option: open
        close_cover:
          service: select.select_option
          data:
            entity_id: select.remote_ir_1706309535964229632
            option: close
        stop_cover:
          service: select.select_option
          data:
            entity_id: select.remote_ir_1706309535964229632
            option: stop

[AalianKhan]

You would enter a random unqiue_id

cover:
  - platform: template
    covers:
      custom_cover:
        device_class: gate
        friendly_name: "curtain test"
        unique_id: Q1NUj4D3mPVI822TKQXlrcgL
        ...
