Custom Bar-Card, what to use in its place?

Never in the years of running Home Assistant have I ever seen a forced depreciation of a custom card simply because the author is not supporting it any longer. Dod I miss something?

The custom bar-card works just fine here, but alternately, what do others use?

Someone must have requested it be removed from HACS.

I just ignored the warning as it is working fine for me too.

There is a fork that is being maintained. I tried it with inconsistent results. Some cards worked others did not. I couldn’t be bothered working out why. Just went back to the unmaintained version. Because Repository is no longer maintained, custom-cards/bar-card has been removed from HACS. Please help me solve the problem. · Issue #199 · custom-cards/bar-card · GitHub

I just re-added it by using a custom repository…

That’s a good idea. Though I haven’t seen the warning again since ignoring it.

I kept on seeing the warning and couldn’t get rid of it.

I also asked why…and yes, apparently someone reported it :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

There’s another one specifically for timers:

I have switched to this one with very good results.

Yes that has been mentioned already. Be aware however that it does have issues but no way to report them.

I have created a feature request for a core version of this card. Please up-vote it if you feel it is worthwhile implementing. The core version would likely be simpler e.g. horizontal row entity only.

Left a comment, not really sure how to ‘up-vote’ it, though :confused:

I can’t find it on Hacs, how did you upload it?

add it as a custom repository

Ah, Github. Where good ideas go to die.

Get used to it: Heads-up: Feature requests are moving!

Adding via custom repo first worked. After restart the warning about ‘not maintened’ state popped up. Although i ignored that an the files bar-card.* filed still exist, i get an Configuration Error: “Custom element not found: bar-card”

Got it fixed by definig bar-car.js as a local ressource.

@CreepDE Seems you have started something by reporting the integration dude :wink:
It was working fine for me (and a lot of others apparently):thinking:

Long time ago I seggested that charts used for energy display should be made available as stand alone card. But it went without echo… Would be nice for consistent dashboard look.

This is actually the most useful card I use in my entire dashboard! It is incredibly useful for monitoring numerous values and value targets easily and concisely. I really wish some programmer picked this up and continued with it. I still use it today. This needs to be in home assistant core. It is actually very powerful and importantly concise if you know how to use it. Example below of my dashboard. Note: dashboard colour is weird from HDR screen capture.
