Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 03 Oct 12:21

This release introduces a fantastic new feature for displaying secondary entity states, adds localization support to the editor, and includes important accessibility improvements.


New Features

Secondary State Display [#13]

You can now display the state of a graph_entity directly next to the main entity's state.
This is perfect for scenarios like showing a switch's power consumption at a glance.

To enable this, simply add show_graph_entity_state: true to your entity configuration when you are also using graph_entity.

Example Lovelace configuration:

- entity: switch.office_light
  name: Office Light
  graph_entity: sensor.office_light_power
  show_graph_entity_state: true

Localization

The card editor is now available in multiple languages.
We are launching with support for:

  • English
  • German
  • French

The editor will automatically use your Home Assistant language setting.
We welcome contributions for other languages.


Accessibility Improvements

When using the “Tile Style” layout, toggleable entities (like switches and lights) are now more accessible:

  • Icons are now proper buttons with the correct ARIA roles.
  • They are fully navigable via keyboard.

Other Changes

  • The card now logs its version and other information to the browser's developer console for easier debugging.
  • Updated various development dependencies to keep the project up-to-date.
  • The README.md has been updated with:
    • Documentation for the new features.
    • A guide for contributing translations.
