Add an option to show the message below the name (with a custom log)

[mstuij]

The current behaviour is that you see:

{name of entity} - {message}

What I like to see is that it will presented on 2 lines, so in this example:

Rolluiken westkant Rolluiken westkant geopend

[royto]

Currently, it is the name and the message that are displayed

Maybe name use entity friendly name is not set

[mstuij]

When I execute this:

You get this:

And I like to see (with a new option)

This is subject This is the message

And it would be really great when you also could define the styling of the first and second line independently like bold or italic

[royto]

Just to be clear, you want something like this (with he date)

[mstuij]

Yes the the 2 lines. The date like the functionality that now already exists.

But I have created another issue to have a group date seperator (like the original logbook card)

And it would be a great bonus if you can specify the styling. So in my case I should set the subject to bold and the message to italic.

Hi,

you can achieve this using card mod

As describe in the README.md, you can use the following configuration

type: custom:logbook-card
entity: light.living_room
card_mod:
  style: |
    .custom-log .item-content {
      display: flex;
      flex-direction: column;
    }
    .custom-log .custom-log__separator {
        display: none;
    }
    .custom-log .item-content .custom-log__name {
        font-weight: bold;
    }
    .custom-log .item-content .custom-log__message {
       font-style: italic;
       text-indent: 0px;
    }

Thanks for the tip. There is only 1 problem that is that the - character is displayed. This should be hidden. Do you know if that is also possible?

Make sure to have the 2.1.0 version

I just updated some seconds ago and I saw that it works.

Thank you very much!
