Vacuum Card

Vacuum cleaner card for Home Assistant Lovelace UI

By default, Home Assistant does not provide any card for controlling vacuum cleaners. This card displays the state and allows to control your robot.

Manual

1. Download vacuum-card.js file from the latest-release.
2. Put vacuum-card.js file into your config/www folder.
3. Add reference to vacuum-card.js in Lovelace. There's two way to do that:
   1. Using UI: Configuration → Lovelace Dashboards → Resources → Click Plus button → Set Url as /local/vacuum-card.js → Set Resource type as JavaScript Module.
   2. Using YAML: Add following code to lovelace section.

      resources:
        - url: /local/vacuum-card.js
          type: module

4. Add custom:vacuum-card to Lovelace UI as any other card (using either editor or YAML configuration).

Using the card

This card can be configured using Lovelace UI editor.

1. In Lovelace UI, click 3 dots in top left corner.
2. Click Configure UI.
3. Click Plus button to add a new card.
4. Find Custom: Vacuum Card in the list.
5. Choose entity.
6. Now you should see the preview of the card!

Supported models

This card relies on basic vacuum services, like pause, start, stop, return_to_base, etc. It should work with any robot vacuum, however I can physically test it only with my own robot vacuum.

If this card works with your vacuum cleaner, please open a PR and your model to the list.

Inspiration

This project is heavily inspired by:

• MacBury Smart House — basically, this project is a refinement of MacBury's custom card.
• Benji vacuum card — this is where I noticed this vacuum card design for the first time.

Huge thanks for their ideas and efforts 👍
