Home Assistant release with the issue:

All releases

Description of problem:

It would be great if you could add a subnavigation menu to lovelace, so it's much easier to seperate the views.

Do you think this is possible?

This issue was moved by iantrich from home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer#2632.

Can you elaborate on this?

I mean a subnavigation for the views, which mans that there is not only one visible navigation (if subnavigation is defined), but 2 - one for the main navigation points and one subnavigation, which has the corresponding navigation points for the clicked main navigation point.

This would improve the user experience, if you have many views (so you dont have to scroll horizontally so often, since you can seperate the views into main/sub navigation points).

See this mockup:

This custom card can approximate that, using the hash option.

Duplicate of https://github.com/home-assistant/ui-schema/issues/198

@iantrich Actually this is not a duplicate, your mentioned issue describes the main navigation bar to wrap to multiple lines - but all navigation points stay the same.

This issue is requesting a subnavigation which can have different sub navigation points on each main navigation point.

and thanks @thomasloven , but this is not what I request. Selecting a drop down each time is a pretty poor user experience on phones and no replacement for a sub navigation which is directly clickable after clicking the main navigation point. But for other use cases - really cool card!
