Warning: The States UI is now The States UI is now deprecated and will be completely removed from Home Assistant in version 0.107.0. Therefore, this won’t work anymore after that.

After I wrote Dynamically hide / unhide an entire view in Home Assistant, many people asked me if it is possible to do the same with the cards (groups). It is, and it’s easy too.

Here is an example code:

group : default_view : view : yes entities : - group.test_group - group.test_subgroup1 - group.test_subgroup2 - group.test_subgroup3 test_group : name : " Test Group" control : hidden entities : - input_boolean.test_input_boolean1 - input_boolean.test_input_boolean2 - input_boolean.test_input_boolean3 test_subgroup1 : name : " Test Subgroup 1" entities : - sensor.sensor_1 test_subgroup2 : name : " Test Subgroup 2" entities : - sensor.sensor_2 test_subgroup3 : name : " Test Subgroup 3" entities : - sensor.sensor_3 input_boolean : test_input_boolean1 : name : " Change Subgroup 1 visibility" initial : on test_input_boolean2 : name : " Change Subgroup 2 visibility" test_input_boolean3 : name : " Change Subgroup 3 visibility" sensor : - platform : random name : Sensor 1 - platform : random name : Sensor 2 - platform : random name : Sensor 3 customize : group.test_subgroup2 : visible : false group.test_subgroup3 : visible : false automation : - alias : " group_view_default" trigger : - platform : homeassistant event : start action : - service : group.set_visibility entity_id : group.test_subgroup1 data : visible : true - service : group.set_visibility entity_id : group.test_subgroup2 data : visible : false - service : group.set_visibility entity_id : group.test_subgroup3 data : visible : false - alias : " subgroup1_visible" trigger : - platform : state entity_id : input_boolean.test_input_boolean1 to : " on" action : - service : group.set_visibility entity_id : group.test_subgroup1 data : visible : true - alias : " subgroup1_hidden" trigger : - platform : state entity_id : input_boolean.test_input_boolean1 to : " off" action : - service : group.set_visibility entity_id : group.test_subgroup1 data : visible : false - alias : " subgroup2_visible" trigger : - platform : state entity_id : input_boolean.test_input_boolean2 to : " on" action : - service : group.set_visibility entity_id : group.test_subgroup2 data : visible : true - alias : " subgroup2_hidden" trigger : - platform : state entity_id : input_boolean.test_input_boolean2 to : " off" action : - service : group.set_visibility entity_id : group.test_subgroup2 data : visible : false - alias : " subgroup3_visible" trigger : - platform : state entity_id : input_boolean.test_input_boolean3 to : " on" action : - service : group.set_visibility entity_id : group.test_subgroup3 data : visible : true - alias : " subgroup3_hidden" trigger : - platform : state entity_id : input_boolean.test_input_boolean3 to : " off" action : - service : group.set_visibility entity_id : group.test_subgroup3 data : visible : false





And here is the result.
