TimeFlow-Card v3.0.1

Release v3.0.1

Building on the v3.0.0, this release introduces new ways to interact with your timers and enhances the card's reliability with improved configuration validation and graceful error handling.

✨ New Features

Action Handling: Make Your Timers Interactive!

Your countdowns are no longer just for viewing! You can now configure actions to run when you tap, hold, or double-tap the card. This opens up a world of possibilities for interacting with your timers and other entities in Home Assistant.

• Interactive Cards: Add tap_action, hold_action, and double_tap_action to your card's configuration.
• Default Timer Action: Timer entities now have a default tap_action that opens the "more-info" dialog, making it easy to pause, finish, or restart your timers.

Example:

type: custom:timeflow-card
timer_entity: timer.laundry_timer
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: timer.toggle
  target:
    entity_id: timer.laundry_timer
hold_action:
  action: more-info

Enhanced Validation and Error Display

To make configuration easier and more reliable, the card now includes a more robust validation system and a user-friendly error display.

• Detailed Validation: The card now validates your configuration with severity levels (critical, warning, info) and provides helpful suggestions for fixing any issues.
• Graceful Error Display: If there's an error in your configuration, the card will now display a clear error message instead of crashing, making it much easier to debug your setup.

🔧 Other Key Improvements

• Improved Alexa Timer Support: The logic for discovering and handling Alexa timers has been enhanced to be more reliable.
• Add support for templates in the Expired_text: The expired_text now supports templates.

🔧 Installation & Update

As with the previous major update, it is highly recommended to clear your browser cache after updating to ensure you are running the latest version of the card.

Thank you for your continued support! This update makes the TimeFlow card more powerful and user-friendly, and I'm excited to see what you build with it.
