I recently dove into setting up a custom UI for my Home Assistant setup and wanted to share my journey. After following the documentation step by step, I encountered an issue where the Custom UI entry wasn’t appearing in my frontend settings. This was a bit puzzling, but after some research and tweaking my configuration, I managed to get it working! Here’s a snippet of my setup:
yaml
frontend:
themes: !include themes.yaml
extra_html_url:
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andrey-git/home-assistant-custom-ui/master/state-card-custom-ui.html
extra_html_url_es5:
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andrey-git/home-assistant-custom-ui/master/state-card-custom-ui-es5.html
customizer:
custom_ui: hosted
Once everything was configured correctly, the Custom UI option appeared, and I was able to customize my interface to my liking. It’s amazing how much this enhances the user experience!
Moving on to another project, I’ve been working on integrating a Matter 1.3 door lock with RFID credential management. Initially, I faced challenges with the ecosystem apps not recognizing the RFID credentials. However, after enabling RFID support through the ZAP tool and configuring the feature map, I was able to set and retrieve RFID credentials successfully. This has made my home security system much more robust and user-friendly.
If anyone else is working on similar projects or has questions about custom UI setups or smart lock integrations, feel free to reach out! I’d be happy to share more details or troubleshoot together.
