Dwains Dashboard Next 1.4.0
This release focuses on making the dashboard feel faster and easier to understand in daily use.
Added
- Added more flexible custom cards for areas. Cards can now be placed at the top of an area, below a specific section, or at the bottom, and can be dragged between those positions while editing.
- Added better weather support in the home header. The configured weather entity is respected and the header now shows the outside temperature with clearer context.
- Added a fallback redirect for Home Assistant setups where Dwains Dashboard Next is selected as the default dashboard but Home Assistant still opens the native overview page.
- Added support for event entities with a proper name, icon and card status.
Improved
- Faster visual feedback when toggling lights, switches, covers and locks. The UI now updates immediately while Home Assistant processes the service call.
- Clearer House information labels for active counts, for example Lights on, Switches on and Covers open.
- Improved area custom-card editing so saving or moving cards keeps you in edit mode.
- Improved desktop area headers to behave more like the mobile area header.
- Improved domain/entity dialogs with faster controls and better state handling.
- Improved selector and scene cards with more useful status text.
Fixed
- Fixed weather still showing in some places when weather was disabled in settings.
- Fixed slow-feeling toggles caused by waiting for the Home Assistant state roundtrip before updating the UI.
- Fixed custom area card placement being limited to the bottom of a domain section.
- Fixed several smaller layout and icon consistency issues around area views, domain cards and dialogs.
Cleanup
- Removed the release changelog from the main README. From now on release notes live on the GitHub release page.
