v2.5.0 - Fix battery bar text disappearing

Solar Bar Card - Releases

v2.5.0

Changes

• Dynamic stats tile layout: Stats tiles now adapt dynamically based on which entities are configured. No more fixed 4-tile maximum — the layout grows with your setup.
• Battery and EV coexistence: Battery and EV tiles are no longer mutually exclusive. If you have both configured, both tiles display simultaneously.
• Smart row splitting: The tile grid automatically splits into two rows when there are 5+ tiles (3 core tiles on row 1, extras on row 2). For 4 or fewer tiles, everything stays in a single row.
• Persistent battery tile: Battery tile now always shows when configured, even when idle — useful for monitoring SOC at a glance.
• Battery bar text fix: SOC percentage label on the battery bar now stays visible at all charge levels. Previously the text would disappear at low SOC because visibility was tied to the fill width rather than the full bar width.
• Additional consumer tiles: New consumer_1_entity/consumer_1_name and consumer_2_entity/consumer_2_name config options. Add up to 2 extra power consumers (heat pump, pool heater, hot water, AC, etc.) as stats tiles. Consumers show as tiles only — the bar stays clean.
• Consumer idle visibility: New show_consumers_when_idle option (default false). When enabled, consumer tiles always show even when power is 0 (like battery). When disabled, tiles only appear while actively consuming (like EV).
• Compact stats mode: New show_stats_detail option (default true). Set to false to hide the detail row on all stats tiles (daily kWh, net position, battery %) for a slimmer card.
• Consumer tile background colors: New palette keys stats_consumer_1_background and stats_consumer_2_background for per-consumer tile styling via custom_colors.
• README overhaul: Streamlined documentation — concise feature overview, self-documenting config tables, version history moved to releases.md.
