Theme variables

The following variables are available and can be set in your theme to change the appearance of the restriction-card. Colors can be specified by color name, hexadecimal, rgb, rgba, hsl, hsla, basically anything supported by CSS.

name	Default	Description
restriction-regular-lock-color	primary-text-color	Lock color
restriction-success-lock-color	primary-color	Lock color when unlocked
restriction-blocked-lock-color	error-state-color	Lock color when card is blocked

restriction-overlay-row-border-radius	0	Border radius for an overlay in a row

Note: it is not recommended to set negative values for *-lock-*-margin-* variables to prevent a "lock" icon to be clipped.

css_variables option

The css_variables option can be used to override default values of supported theme variables. Alternatively, these variables can be defined in a custom Frontend theme or by card-mod locally. Each entry in css_variables option must represent a "name: value" pair for a variable which should be overridden where name is a name of a variable prefixed by --, see an example below:

css_variables:
  --restriction-regular-lock-color: red
  --restriction-success-lock-color: cyan

Note: jinja templates are not supported, use card-mod if you need templates.

Overlay background example

entities:
  - type: custom:restriction-card

      block: true
    row: true
    card:
      entity: switch.test_switch

Theme file:

  restriction-overlay-background: repeating-linear-gradient( -45deg, transparent 0 10px,var(--user-restriction-card-mask,rgba(255,0,0,0.07)) 10px 20px)
  restriction-overlay-background-blocked: repeating-linear-gradient( -45deg, transparent 0 10px,var(--user-restriction-card-mask,rgba(127,127,127,0.07)) 10px 20px)
  restriction-lock-opacity: 0
  restriction-overlay-row-border-radius: 4px
  restriction-overlay-row-outline: 1px solid rgba(255,0,0,0.1)
  restriction-overlay-row-outline-blocked: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.1)

Multiple pin codes example

...
restrictions:
  pin:
    code:
      - abc1234
      - 1234
      - "0000"
      - 5656
      - 12
      - "0012"
    text: Enter pin to unlock
...

Notes:

1. Numerical values with leading zeros may be mistreated. To avoid this, wrap values in quotes.
2. Dependently on a presence of alpha-numeric pin codes (like abcd, abcd1234, 12 34, 12.24, 12,34) in the code option, a particular "enter pin" dialog is shown: if all values are numerical - a numerical keypad is shown, otherwise - a simple input-box allowing to input any characters.

---

Special consideration for input_select entities:

If you find that the restriction card is blocking something you don't want blocked like an input select, try adjusting the z-index using mod-card

card:
  type: custom:mod-card
  card_mod:
    style: |
      ha-card {
        z-index: 7;
        }
  card:
    type: custom:restriction-card
