A Home Assistant custom integration that adds a favorites system to your dashboards, allowing you to quickly access important entities without duplicating cards manually.
The issue: messy Dashboards, duplicated cards, multiple clicks navigation to access some specific entity.
The Solution: Favorites system, allows you to MARK your entity (either with wrapper card or hold action) then you will be able to see all the marked entities in a beautiful Fast Access grid card that allows you to 1 tap-control your entity.
The Grid can be stored to any dashboard and it will display all the stored entities
The Grid is per user, so your favorite entities won’t mix with your family’s favorites.
thanks for the feedback, i’ll do a fix now
currently u can move both cards in /www/ folder and add the resources:
/local/favorites-grid-card.js
/local/favoritable-card.js
i really appreciate your feedback and the time invested trying this, thank you
Is there anyway to do auto theme? Some of my family use light mode and I use dark mode, love the liquid glass btw.
Also to add cards to favourite do I have to wrap every card in my dashboard with the Favitorable Card? Tbh I thought tapping the favorites grid would open a list of entities we could select from. Just wondering before I make any dashboard changes. Would be nice if it worked like the new “Home” dashboard favourites so you select them via the card itself, no dashboard duplicates.
When a card is removed from favourites where is it supposed to go? Maybe could add a “hidden” button or something like that. Otherwise just feels like double entities on the dashboard with current implementation.
“Compact light cards” option is not working for me
Off
Would love to force all cards as compact so that way it stays clean and aligned, I have cover and climate controls off but it still looks this way. (PS love the drag and drop, it helps fix this)
Would love tap action control, like hold, tap, icon-tap-action, etc.
Finally an Idea I have, are conditions possible with the card? For example if the user has no favourites selected don’t load the card, but if they add a favourite then load it, that way keeps dashboard clean and customizable.
i really love your feedback it helps building a useful tool
currently the light - covers - climate cards are hardcoded style within the favorite grid, i’ll work on that to allow more versatility for styling what’s in the grid card based on entity type.
about adding cards into your favorites, it has 2 options for now the wrapper card which gives a star toggle on/off on the existing card (kinda of indicator) and the hold action to add to the grid. but your idea about adding something like a + button on the grid itself to pick entities is brilliant THANK YOU! i’ll do it ofc.
currently if an entity is removed from the grid, it just disappear (removed from the sensor) and u can re-add it, will find a way to add extra button (removed entities) to be showing the recently removed from favorites.
and ofc conditions are possible will turn it on in next update, if no cards inside just hide the favorites grid
