0.61.0 - New Documentation Site, green circle thing options, new slider style! 📝 🦀

New Documentation Site

We now have a dedicated documentation site with comprehensive guides, examples, and configuration references:

homeassistant-extras.github.io/room-summary-card

The site includes detailed documentation on all features, theming, advanced usage, and troubleshooting.

New Bar Slider Style

A new slider style option that displays a color-filled bar with a black line indicator. Perfect for a clean, modern look without the entity icon.

type: custom:room-summary-card
area: living_room
features:
  - slider
slider_style: bar

Configurable Problem Indicator Display (whatever that green circle is)

You can now control how the problem indicator (the green/red circle notification) is displayed on your room cards!

What's New

The problem indicator can now be configured with three display modes:

• Always (default) - Shows the indicator at all times
  • Green circle when no problems are active
  • Red pulsing circle when problems are active
• Active Problems Only - Only shows when there's an actual issue
  • Hides the green circle when no problems are active
  • Shows red pulsing circle only when problems exist
• Never - Completely hides the problem indicator
  • Useful if you don't want to see the indicator at all
  • Note: The mold indicator will still display if configured

How to Use

Configure via the card editor:

1. Open the card editor
2. Expand the "Problem Indicator" section
3. Select your preferred display mode from the dropdown

Or configure directly in YAML:

type: custom:room-summary-card
area: living_room
problem:
  display: active_only # Options: always, active_only, never

Example Configurations

Show indicator only when problems are active:

problem:
  display: active_only

Hide the indicator completely:

problem:
  display: never

Always show (default behavior):

problem:
  display: always

Bug Fixes

Fixed: State-Based Icons Now Override Configured Icons

Fixed an issue where state-based icons (from states configuration) were not overriding the configured icon property. State-based icons now correctly take priority over the configured icon, allowing dynamic icon changes based on entity state.

Before: Configured icon always took priority, preventing state-based icons from displaying.

After: State-based icons now override configured icons, with the configured icon serving as a fallback when no state matches.

This fix ensures that configurations like the following work correctly:

entity:
  entity_id: sensor.living_room_icon_colour
  icon: mdi:sofa  # Fallback icon
  states:
    - state: purple
      icon: mdi:sun-snowflake-variant
    - state: blue
      icon: mdi:snowflake
    - state: amber
      icon: mdi:lightbulb

The icon will now dynamically change based on the sensor state, with mdi:sofa used as a fallback when no state matches.
