It still doesnt expand beyond the fixed width of the section column it’s created in. And a card cannot span multiple columns, it’s always locked to a single column. You also can’t control left/right position of columns, it only starts from centre if the page and expands from there.

That seems to be incorrect, I just tried and it forces the use of their titles and badges spanning entire width and only at the top with, sections forced into columns underneath. There is no way to make a card span e.g. 2/3 of the width with the last 1/3 used by another card. I also can’t make a full width section below other sections, it forces columns that fixes to screen centre if it doesn’t fill the whole screen, I can’t even make it stay to the left or right of the screen.

Yeah I can drag cards between sections, but I cant control sizes or location of anything, its still locked in to their very limited idea of dash board layouts.

I don’t have the skills to do that, which is why I support the foundation with money in stead. But you’re right, the unnecessarily restrictive UI is one of my biggest issues with HA.

I haven’t been able to freely move cards, or easily expand beyond the defined column with newest version. It shouldn’t be a technical issue, it’s possible for many other applications to manage this flawlessly.

The constraints of only being able to make cards in predefined columns and positions is absolutely ridiculous. We should be able to drag-n-drop and resize to whatever size cards we want. It’s a huge PITA to make anything that doesn’t follow this incredibly restricted way of thinking.

My naming scheme is usually Area_Type_Location, e.g. i have a table lamp on a small table in a corner of my livingroom. the bulb in it is named Livingroom_Light_CornerTable

As for movable devices, i name them Type_Model_Function/Owner, e.g. Phone_Pixel8_ExcessShiv or Tablet_Ipad_MainControl
