Quote of the Day Card

Quote of the Day card uses the Feed Parser Sensor to pull quotes from Brainyquotes.com RSS feed and display them on a nice card. Quotes are selected randomly.

Requirements

• Feedparser v0.0.8 or later: Feedparser changes the way the data is stored from dictionary to list format. Quote of the Day card was updated in v0.0.4 to be compatible with this breaking change. Previous versions of Feedparser may work but are untested.

Instructions

1. Download the Feed Parser Sensor and use the following configuration:

sensor:
 - platform: feedparser
   name: Quote of the Day
   feed_url: 'https://www.brainyquote.com/link/quotebr.rss'
   date_format: '%a, %b %d %I:%M %p'

HACS Instructions

2. Go to HACS settings and add the following custom repository (as plugin):

https://github.com/dnguyen800/quote-of-the-day-card

Manual Instructions

2. Download the Quote-Day-Card, bg.jpg and place the files in your config/www folder.

4. Write configuration for the card in your ui-lovelace.yaml.

   entity: sensor.quote_of_the_day
   feed_attribute: entries # Required if using FeedParser v0.0.8 or later
