Custom:bar-card - the Next Generation

It looks like there is no official maintainer of the bar-card anymore.

I forked a working version from spacerokk (who forked it from the original bar-card) and made a complete overhaul of the gui editor - it is now fully functional.

This version should be a drop-in replacement of the original bar-card (although I did not test it against old versions), replacing the bar-card.js with this new version should just work with the added bonus of a fully new graphical lovelace editor.

Here is my repo: GitHub - vogon1/bar-card: Customizable Animated Bar card for Home Assistant Lovelace · GitHub

Latest release of bar-card.js: Release v5.0.0 · vogon1/bar-card · GitHub

If all works out well, i am willing tot step up as the new maintainer of the bar-card and make it available again in HACS.

I have some plans for extra functionality in bar-card:

  • auto sorting, e.g. see top temperatures in your home:

  • Use history data, e.g. see which devices used most energy in the last 30 days:

  • Multi-select devices of same category in the entity selector:

Please try this new version of bar-card and let me know what you think!

Thanks very much for taking this on.

I have updated to your version and can confirm that everything continues to work as expected.

It would be great to see this added to HACS.
