Solar Bar Card - Releases

v2.9.1 — Polish & Fixes

Improvements

• EV icon: solid circle design: The EV circle has been restyled to match the grid icon's solid filled-circle approach — the ring border is gone. States are now communicated via fill color: idle is a dimmed grey circle; when excess solar covers ≥50% of the EV charger capacity the circle turns orange; at ≥100% it turns green. When the EV is actively charging the circle stays grey with a yellow/orange outer glow to indicate live charging without conflicting with the solar-availability colors.

Bug Fixes

• Battery SOC entity not appearing in config UI: The battery_soc_entity selector was filtering strictly by device_class: "battery", which excluded valid sensors (e.g. from ESPHome, MQTT, or custom integrations) that report a percentage without a device class set. The selector now also includes any sensor with unit_of_measurement: "%", so these entities show up in the dropdown without any changes to the sensor itself.
