Thanks for the feedbacks for new color system.
During the State of the Open Home, we presented a new concept of dashboard and it was really well received : Link the the concept.
Why we do this change ?
We started by adding color to tile card (and there is very good feedbacks on Mushroom card for this).
Before the update, it was not possible de change the color based of state and domain. We saw that many people relies of third party card to change color (e.g. card_mod, custom-ui…). We want to offer this by default so people don’t have to install third party scripts that can be broken at every release.
Also, the history was using random colors. Now you can have an complete overview of your devices.
What can I do if I don’t like the new color ?
You can do feedbacks here and explain why you don’t like it with respect. We are all human and we don’t do changes just to break your things by pleasure.
I already saw very good feedbacks :
- binary sensor color : we chose color for binary sensor because it’s the Home Assistant primary color. I agree, the contrast is not good why the default lovelace color (dark blue). We will fix that issue.
- binary sensor device class : window/door not consider as security device.
- lock color : locked/unlocked color
- person color : not home color consistency
