What's new in v1.3.0

Two new features this release: time slider playback and an optional footer bar with weather, expected output and the current total.

▶ Time slider playback

The history time slider now has playback controls:

  • Play / pause — run through the day at speed and watch the sun move across the panels, from the start of the range up to live.
  • Rewind — jump back to the start of the range (12 hours back).
  • The label now shows the actual clock time of the selected moment (e.g. 13:00) instead of "x hours ago".

☁ Footer bar (weather · expected · total)

An optional footer bar can show the weather, the expected output and the current total. It's off by default and only appears when you set at least one of the new options:

type: custom:solar-layout-card
weather_entity: weather.home
forecast_entity: sensor.solcast_pv_forecast_forecast_now   # or Forecast.Solar
# total_entity: sensor.pv_total   # optional
# show_total: true                # default
  • weather_entity — weather icon and current condition.
  • forecast_entity — expected output, e.g. from Forecast.Solar or Solcast.
  • total_entity — a sensor for the total. If omitted, the total is auto-summed from the panel sensors, counting each unique sensor once (so panels that share a sensor aren't double-counted).
  • show_total — show or hide the auto-summed total (default on).

Updating

Update via HACS, then do a hard browser refresh (or clear the .gz in www/community/solar-layout-card/) if you don't see the change right away.
