ESH Welcome Card Weather Broken

[damusmf]

Describe the bug on the custom card ESH Welcome Card, the weather on the top does not load. it is like it is not actually returning the ulm_weather variable so it fails to load.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to your screen with the esh welcome card
2. Click on the weather icon at the top
3. See error

Expected behavior to pull up the more-info on the weather

The error is not related to Minimalist from what I can tell by reading the error message but to the weather entity/integration that doesn't has an unique_id.

Well right, but the entity it is referring to in the error that doesn't have the unique ID is '[[[ return variables.ulm_weather]]]' Which won't have a unique ID as it is not even a real entity. i believe the problem is that it is not actually passing the stated entity ID through to the template and that is why it is not working.

If it showed the correct entity, in this case weather.pirate_weather, then maybe the error would make sense. but its looking for an entity that doesn't exist because instead of taking the supplied entity ID it is using the actual variable string itself.

Okay, what version are you running of both the card and ULM?

As with everything up-to-date I am not able to reproduce the problem..

[damusmf]

ULM Version 1.3.2-hotfix Card version 1.1.0 code copied directly from https://github.com/UI-Lovelace-Minimalist/UI/blob/main/custom_cards/custom_card_esh_welcome/custom_card_esh_welcome.yaml HomeAssistant 2023.4.1

have tried rebooting, using a different browser, and multiple devices and i cant figure this one out.

I'm having the same issue with pirate weather except I am on: HomeAssistant 2023.4.6 ULM Version 1.3.4-hotfix Same card version copied directly from the link above.

Same issue Home Assistant 2023.6.2 ULM Version 1.3.6 Same card version copied directly from the link above.

Fixed for me. Opened custom_card_esh_welcome.yaml and added the line entity: "[[[ return variables.ulm_weather]]]" to item 2 in the card_esh_welcome_topbar definition. (line 439)

    item2:
      card:
        type: "custom:button-card"
        template: "chip_weather_date"
        entity: "[[[ return variables.ulm_weather]]]"
        variables:
          ulm_weather: "[[[ return variables.ulm_weather]]]"
        tap_action:
          action: "more-info"
        styles:
          card:
            - width: "100px"

I looked at the source code in the repository and it appears to be included now (line 443). So I don't know whether this is a recent change, or whether I picked up an older version somehow.
