Solar Bar Card - Releases

Buy Me A Coffee

v2.8.0 — Live Wires & New Wheels

New Features

  • EV circle icon (ev_charger_sensor): The EV car icon has been moved out of the solar bar and replaced with a dedicated circular icon element on the left side of the bar — sitting between the house icon and battery bar, so all consumers are on the left and the flow direction stays consistent. State is shown via ring and fill: grey ring when idle; colored ring border when excess solar is ≥50% of EV load; brighter ring glow at ≥100%; and full solid fill in the EV color when actively charging. When show_energy_flow is enabled, animated dots connect solar and grid to the EV circle via the left bus, tracked as an independent flow group so EV state changes don't interrupt other animations.
  • EV icon symbol color (ev_icon_color): New config option to set the color of the car icon inside the EV circle. Useful when the default (theme primary text color) doesn't contrast well against the circle's background color. Overrides to white automatically when the circle is in solid charging state.
  • Power unit selection (power_unit): Choose between kW (default) and W to display all live power values in Watts. All value locations update consistently — tiles, bar segment labels, legend, bar capacity label, and tooltips.
  • Show/hide unit suffix (show_power_unit): Toggle the kW / W unit label after every power value. Defaults to true. Useful for very compact displays where the unit can be inferred.

Improvements

  • Tile order: Solar → Usage → Export/Import: Stats tiles are now ordered Solar | Usage | Export (or Import) — matching the natural left-to-right flow of the energy bar and aligning with the legend order.
  • Legend order aligned with tiles: Legend items now follow the same order as tiles — Solar, Usage, Export, Import, then EV and Battery. Previously EV and Battery appeared between Usage and Export.
  • Export tile net indicator centering: The net position dot (green/red) after the "Export"/"Import" label no longer shifts the label text off-centre. A hidden spacer of equal width is added to the left so the label text stays visually centred while the dot trails it on the right.
