ha-group with two lights - generates useless second card #40

Closed vncnt-dev closed 4 years ago

vncnt-dev commented 4 years ago

I have a group in hass.io with two RGB lights and wanted to use the light entity card to control them at the same time. But somehow two cards are generated. Both Cards do the same but only the first one displays the correct states. There should be an option to hide the second card (or is there?) because the first one already has all the functionality.

I'm also experiencing this. It's also worth noting that this issue has only surfaced recently. I've had this plugin in my Lovelace view for quite some time and it was never an issue before.

Unfortunately, I've had to move to another plugin in order to meet my requirements. If there is a fix to this, however, I will happily switch back.

the card will split up entities in a group by default so you can control each entity within the group individually. The names are the same because you overwrote them. I've added support to consolidate group entities via the consolidate_entities option in v4.0.0

Doesn't seem to work.

bcmitri commented 4 years ago

Worked for me.

vncnt-dev commented 4 years ago

What type of entity do you have?

bcmitri commented 4 years ago

It's a light group.

vncnt-dev commented 4 years ago

I have two RGB lights

I reloaded while pressing the shift key.
