v1.8.0

What's new in v1.8.0

A brand-new dashboard card: Recently Installed but Unused — spot the integrations, themes, and cards you installed recently but never actually wired up.

Added

• Recently Installed but Unused card. Add it from your dashboard via Edit dashboard → Add Card → Recently Installed but Unused. It lists HACS integrations, themes, and frontend cards that were installed within a recent window (default 30 days) and are still showing as unused — so freshly-installed-and-forgotten items are easy to find and either use or remove.
  • Configure the window (days) and which sections to show, right in the card's visual editor (or via YAML: days_window, sections).
  • Items are grouped by type and sorted newest-first ("today", "3d ago", …), with repository links and versions.

Good to know

• The card reuses the integration's existing usage scan — no new entities or setup. Newly configured items can take until the next hourly scan (or a custom_component_monitor.scan_now) to drop off the list.
• "Install age" is based on the component's files on disk, so a HACS update can reset that clock. Items whose install date can't be determined are hidden and noted in the card footer.

Upgrade notes

• Nothing to do — update via HACS and restart Home Assistant. The new card registers automatically (UI-managed dashboards); YAML-mode users add the recently-installed-unused-card.js resource like the other two cards.
