New

  • Time selector (issue #9): Set and edit a fixed time of day (wake-up, nap, bedtime) right from the card using an input_datetime time helper. Enable it under Device-Specific Controls with show_time, pick the helper via time_entity, and optionally set a label with time_name. Changing the picker updates the helper via input_datetime.set_datetime. The card only stores the time; use an automation to act when that time arrives (see README).
  • Card picker suggestion: When you add a Hatch media player from the dashboard card picker, Home Assistant can now suggest the Hatch Card automatically. This is opt-in and only fires for Hatch media_player entities.

Improved

  • Editor overhaul: The visual editor now uses collapsible sections with header icons and a "Search settings" filter, matching the Simple Timer Card editor style.
  • Time selector polish: The time input now matches the height of the other 40px controls, follows your Home Assistant 12h/24h time format, and its label is styled like the toddler lock label.

Fixes

  • Editor text fields on HA 2026.4+: Migrated the editor text inputs to ha-input with a fallback to ha-textfield, and added a load step so fields no longer render empty on newer Home Assistant frontends.
  • Slider shape: Restored a dropped CSS selector that caused the slider track/fill to lose its shape and the controls to lose their boundaries in the card preview.

Notes

  • Fully backward compatible. Existing configs keep working; the time selector is off by default.
  • To show the time selector in an existing layout that sets controls_order, add time to that list.
