Hey. Just dropping a comment to say thank you! Of those tutorials I watched and read, your tutorial was the one I found most helpful when configuring my floorplan within Home Assistant.
"No need to display brightness of a speaker." :-D I am happy to find your channel. Looking forward to see more new videos. I wish you a luck on the way.
Thanks for the tutorial! The template sensor is now changing and also I had some trouble to find a cloud coverage module, due to the fact that dark syk is not avaiable (for new members), but at the end it works! And by the, I don't create extra files - I add everthing directly in the frontend.
Hello Will, I find the topic very exciting, thank you for your fantastic video/tutorial. However, I have to admit that as a German I can only follow the speed at which you speak and your dialect to a limited extent. Also, the pace of your explanations is very fast. Hence my question or request... do you happen to have written step-by-step instructions on this subject that you could send to me? With that I would certainly be able to integrate the function of the synchronized light into my Homeassistant-system without any errors. Thank you in advance for your effort and your answer.
Hi thanks a lot for your tip at the end for updating of lovelace. However I am still having trouble with the updating, for example if I were to delete the base.png files, the lovelace will still be showing the pictures. Any ideas?
Great tutorial. My floor plan looks great and the sun filter works perfectly. I am curious as to how to go about this with two levels. I plan to have a button which will change an input_select from “first” to “second” but I can’t figure how/where to add the conditional element and still have the night image as base for either first or second floor and have the state image for the sun opacity.
Hi Will, brilliant video. But after 2 years HA changed so much, I can not follow your advice due to these changes. I want to put a heater card on the map of my camper. Is there a way to do that in the actual version of HA like you did in this video?
hi please i have a problem with lights entities, i can't access to lightning i think because my home assistant is running inside of a virtual machine. what can i do to resolve this problem?
Hi Will! Great vid! Currently struggling to get my floorplan color to synch with my hue lights. Do I need to use the sunset/sunrise code for it to work, or can I decide to only use the part that changes the hue of the lights. Thanks in advance!
I had already made my card with my 3D floorplan using a picture card , but I saw in your tutorial the possibility that the colors of the lights, when changed, had the lights on the card changed as well. It worked, but the colors are not right. I realized that thinking about a 360º color palette, when choosing a color the light is the same color referring to about 30º clockwise… is there a way to correct this? For example when choosing blue , the light on the card turns magenta
Could really do with some help with this please. I've done everything you say in this video but it is not working. I think I have done parts wrong and they maybe just need a tweak but not sure what that tweak is. I've sent you ALOT of messages on FB
Hi @Will Surridge Tech, love your work. Can you please go in to depth about adding your floorplan with all the cards and entities in a slower version of this video? I have seen this video like a million times, to reproduce all the things you mention. I am still hazzling and struggling adding my floorplan because everyone uses their own way of adding it. Can you please give a in to depth best practice on adding floor plans and all the options within lovelace please???? Thanks!
If you drop me a message on fb.com/WillSurridgeTech then I'll get back to you on there. I'd love to help sort this out for you, but its much easier having a conversation on messenger than through the comments!

Any suggestions on how to represent led light strips? The only suggestions I've seen use multiple lights which seems tortuous to manage. I want to include four separate ones, each a couple of metres long. They provide mood lighting rather than main illumination of rooms.
Can anyone download the PC (windows) version of the app? I can only download the freenversion which is not great. Also, i have worked on my phone, saved and exported the plans but i cand find the path to them... Where does the app save thenplans? On android phones, that is.
Hi, impressive tutorial! However, I wonder how to add this custom light slider card to my HA, because it looks really good... I would appreciate some advice! :)
I'm not sure the normal weather integration supports cloud coverage - you can always simplify it and just do it based on sun - you'll have to create your own template sensor for that
Hi Will, great tutorial, thank you! Can you explain how to remove the HA state-icons for the buttons and replace them with a round red dot when off and green dot when on? I can't figure it out.
fantastic tutorial! thank you for everything... I'm getting an error for "Unknown type encountered: picture-elements" Any ideas? I'm using the "Simple_Floorplan_Demo.yaml"
I did exactly what you showed and I'm getting a blank view :/ (just the background picture I'm using in the frontend). any suggestions? what am I missing?
@@stijneke2911 I'm not sure what was causing the problem - a lot has changed in HA since the tutorial - try this code for a more simple implementation - github.com/willbob8/willsurridgetech/blob/master/Floorplan%20Demo/Simple_Floorplan_Demo.yaml
Thanks for the video will.. especially the decluttering card makes a lot of sense.. What add-on tool are you talking about at 07:55 to get the percentage figures to place the icons?
This is it! community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-helper-for-floorplan-plan-coordinates/59666 You can also use this website and convert the position in px to a percentage -yangcha.github.io/iview/iview.html
Hi Poulsen, I've never used the non-yaml mode I'm afraid, so I cant tell you for certain, but I believe that templates won't work, so you need to add all the information from the template into each entity. I hope this helps? Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help!
gday mate , good work you doing there, just trying to keep up . one question however: why is the transparent.png is blacking out my entire panel ..i went as far as getting the overlay light picture to show when i switch on the entity but when i turn off its just all black....not too sure about this transparent png thing or what i am doing wrong with it. i also tried to download from you github but if i press download nothing happens....forgive my ignorance haha, i have tried hard enough by myself ,,cheers
You need to add the sensor, using the first 33 lines of this code: github.com/willbob8/willsurridgetech/blob/master/Floorplan%20Demo/FloorplanDemo.yaml

Take it one step at a time - first you want the background night imgage, then add the day image, then add on overlay image; if that all works add the rest of the overlays, and then you can add the icons

Hello im really confused on how the floorplan is supposed to show up
me too
Great video, thanks a lot Will! Is there a way to scale the panel size? My floorplan is filling only half of the height on desktop, tablet etc.
Will, you say that this works only with fully colour bulbs and not with normal bulbs. How to make them works? and what about shellyes lights?
Thanks!
To work with normal bulbs, I believe you can just remove the filter that does the hs colour on the overlay image
