0.3.0 - Model-Aware Artwork, Custom Footer & Status Last Changed 🤖🕐🐾

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 25 May 21:57

NEW Documentation: User guides and configuration reference: homeassistant-extras.github.io/whisker (source: docs/). Footer options: Footer configuration.

🤖 Model-aware robot image

The card now shows artwork that matches your actual Litter-Robot. It reads the device's model and serial number and picks the right image; Litter-Robot 4, 5, 5 Pro, or Evo. The serial number prefix (LR4, LR5, LRE) is the source of truth, with the model name distinguishing the 5 Pro.

Color can't be detected, so there's a new color toggle (defaults to white):

device_id: YOUR_DEVICE_ID
color: black # or white

📋 Customizable footer

Pick which metrics appear in the card footer and in what order. Defaults to total cycles, status last changed, and last seen. You can click/hold tap these for more-info.

footer:
  - total_cycles
  - status_changed
  - pet_weight
  - last_seen

Available items: total_cycles, status_changed, last_seen, pet_weight, status, litter_level, waste_drawer.

See Footer configuration and Home Assistant entity states for how last_changed differs from last_updated.

Status & pet weight

The card title status label and icon are clickable; tap either for the entity more-info dialog, with matching tooltips.

The quick action buttons (start cycle, reset, reset waste drawer) also show what tap and hold do when you hover over them; same native Home Assistant tooltip behavior as other Lovelace action icons.

The pet weight chip uses the entity’s own icon and label (tap for more-info as well).

Technical things

  • add full project linting for consistency
  • complete refactor of how we compute entity states and subscribe to changes
  • slowed the spinner way down - was freaking me out
  • maybe introduced some bugs (future work for coffee)
