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

stevemann · June 23, 2025, 3:44am

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 Because Repository is no longer maintained, custom-cards/bar-card has been removed from HACS.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…

tom_l · June 23, 2025, 4:07am

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

### Repository custom-cards/bar-card ### Checklist - [X] I understand that th…is form should only be used for repositories that needs to be removed from HACS - [X] I understand that a bug is not reason enough to have a repository removed - [X] The repository is currently shipped as a default repository in HACS - [X] I have tried to get the authors attention to the reason for removal ### Why should this be removed? The repo bar-cards is since 2020 not maintained anymore https://github.com/custom-cards/bar-card This is also been written in the repo: ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fdd7253e-6c96-412f-a10d-655fcf8573b3) Because of this and that it isn't correctly working anymore I think it should be removed. ### Link to issue not required

There’s another one specifically for timers:

I have switched to this one with very good results.

tom_l · June 23, 2025, 8:28pm

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

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

fantangelo · June 26, 2025, 10:21am

add it as a custom repository

stevemann · June 26, 2025, 11:56am

Ah, Github. Where good ideas go to die.

tom_l · June 26, 2025, 1:37pm

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
It was working fine for me (and a lot of others apparently)

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.
