✨ Daylight Calendar Card v4.9.0

Important

Were you using this card before the rename from Skylight Calendar Card?

Please check Settings → Dashboards → Resources and remove any old Skylight resource:

❌ /hacsfiles/skylight-calendar-card/skylight-calendar-card.js

Keep only the current Daylight resource:

✅ /hacsfiles/daylight-calendar-card/skylight-calendar-card.js

The filename is still skylight-calendar-card.js; the folder should be daylight-calendar-card.

Stale resources can make new features appear missing or broken even when HACS shows the latest version. See the troubleshooting guide:
