Pet Weight Graphs, Status Sync Fix & Entity Suggestions 🐟🥔

Statistics graph for pet weight

The pet weight graph can now render Home Assistant's statistics graph (long-term statistics) in addition to the existing history graph. Pick the mode with graph_type and plot mean/min/max trends over days, weeks, or months — perfect for tracking a cat's weight over time.

New cards added through the dashboard UI now default to the statistics graph (mean/min/max, daily).

type: custom:whisker-card
device_id: YOUR_DEVICE_ID
# default out of the box

Chart types

The statistics graph supports line, line-stack, bar, and bar-stack chart styles via chart_type.

type: custom:whisker-card
device_id: YOUR_DEVICE_ID
chonk:
  graph_type: statistics
  chart_type: line-stack
  stat_types:
    - mean

Like the history graph?

The HA live history-graph is also available — set graph_type: history

type: custom:whisker-card
device_id: YOUR_DEVICE_ID
chonk:
  graph_type: history

See Pet weight graph options for the full list of chonk settings.

Cleaning reminder 🧹

Point the card at any on/off-style entity (input_boolean, alert, binary_sensor, or switch) with the new cleaning_entity option. When that entity is active, the card shows a mdi:broom header badge plus a warning-colored glow — tinted background, border, and halo — so it's obvious the unit needs cleaning. Tap the badge to open more-info and mark it clean.

Active is detected with Home Assistant's standard stateActive logic, so it does the right thing per domain (including alerts, where an acknowledged off still counts as active until idle).

type: custom:whisker-card
device_id: YOUR_DEVICE_ID
cleaning_entity: input_boolean.litter_robots_needs_cleaned

Pair it with a calendar → boolean → alert loop for an automatic recurring reminder — see Cleaning reminder for the full copy-paste recipe.

Status text stays in sync with icon

The status label in the card header now updates live alongside the status icon, so text like "Ready" or "Cat sensor timing" no longer lags behind on dashboards left open in the browser.

Entity Suggestions

In HA 2026+ if you select a LR entity the LR card will be suggested.
