Lovelace: Bar Card

Hello, I tried to install bar card today and the UI config is totally broken, I can not configure anything, add entities, etc… What is wrong?
Thanks.

That I was trying before. Not working. Seems really something wrong in this line. It will cause the hole graph is not shown. Really weird.

I’m sorry, I wasn’t clear. Make a card using just the code that I posted above (the nuclear option). This is just a bare bones test card to figure out where the trouble is. It’s not intended to be your final pretty card. If it works, then the problem is somewhere in the rest of your code. If it doesn’t, then there’s something wrong behind the scenes.

Nope is not working. The HACS resources are correctly installed ‘custom-template-card’. I even uninstalled and reinstalled it again to be sure that the card is available.

Alright. There’s something programmatically wrong with the install. I’m not saying you did something wrong. But something isn’t playing nice in the background. And that’s way outside my league.

hi, when can i override the border radius theme (ios dark theme) inside of the card?
i can try whith the follow code, but it’s wrong. i can modify the border but not the radius of bar.

      card_mod:
        style: >
          bar-card-currentbar, bar-card-card, bar-card-contentbar,
          bar-card-backgroundbar, bar-card-background, bar-card-current  { 
            margin-left: 10px !important;
            margin-right: 20px !important;
            margin-bottom: 10px;
            border-radius: 0px;
            }
          bar-card-currentbar, bar-card-backgroundbar {
            border-radius: 0px;    
          }

or

      style: |
        bar-card-backgroundbar {
          border-radius: 0px;
        }

i would to find the border squared, but the ios dark blue theme.

i can try since 5 hours, but i wrong.

Hi guys,

short question: Is it possible to map the value or to show another value (like a helper entity)? I would like to use a string variant instead of the number. Like number 0-66 = ‘Good’.

Hi all,

Struggling to get the animation to work, eventually want it triggered based on binary sensor, but even the basic ‘on’ is not working for me at the moment… Any hints?

          - type: custom:config-template-card
            variables:
              charge_target: states['sensor.i5_m60_xdrive_charging_target'].state

              - ${charge_target}
            card:
              type: custom:bar-card
              column: 1
              animation:
                state: 'on'
                speed: 2
              entities:
                - entity: sensor.i5_m60_xdrive_remaining_battery_percent

                  max: 100
                  target: ${charge_target}
                  severity:
                    - color: Red
                      from: 0
                      to: 25
                    - color: Orange
                      from: 26
                      to: 49
                    - color: Green
                      from: 51
                      to: 100

                style: |-
                  bar-card-currentbar, bar-card-backgroundbar {
                    border-radius: 12px;
                    border: 0px solid;    
                  }

Thanks for the very useful work! Tried to implement this card in a mushroom style dashboard, after some css tweaking this seems to work on a basic level. The standard mushroom collection doesn’t have a counter/gauge/severity tile, so I hope this tweak can be useful to some.

For anyone interested, my code for this card:

Hello folks,
currently I am trying to build something like this (taken from Huawei Solar Dashboard)

Focus is at the bar graph itself.

Since ApexCharts for HA does - as far as I know - not support stacked bar graph like this I am currently using bar-card with card-mod and config-template-card [Actually the template card is in this state unnecessary, but it is still in for testing purpose]
However I am facing some issues.
This is what I currently have achieved (bottom 2 bars), using 2 templates to calculate the %-values.
grafik

Is there any way I can replace the displayed value for Min/Max (in this case 11% and 89 or 90%), without it affecting the bar length?
Because if I replace the MIN with config-template-card there is never a bar shown since the Min-value equals thecurrent value.

type: custom:config-template-card
variables:
  - states['sensor.pv_energy_daily'].state
entities:
  - ${vars[0].entity_id}

        font-size: 15px
      }
      bar-card-divider {
        display: none;
      }

Any help would be appreciated.

Is it possible to change the name within the Bar Card depending on the value of the Entity.

If negative then name ‘To Grid’ and if Positive then change the name to 'From Grid

Hi folks, I’m sharing a retro LED look for batteries level, all done in CSS.

Hi all,

Is there a way to round the number shown in bar-card? I am using it for air quality and I’d like the numbers be a whole number.

Thank you!

      - entity: sensor.solaredge_ac_power
        name: Solar Productie
        indicator: inside
        icon: mdi:solar-power-variant
        decimal: ''

really like the card from you. I tried to create a bar from 100 to 0 (%) from right to left but i dont get this working. Do you have a example code for this?

Glad you like it. It seems the bar Card isn’t able to show a right tot left bar, but i got it working by changing one css parameter, pretty much just flipping the bar horizontally.

Just add the following lines to the css selector already in the code:

bar-card-backgroundbar, bar-card-currentbar, bar-card-contentbar, 
    bar-card-targetbar {
      border-radius: 8px;
      -webkit-transform: scaleX(-1);
      -moz-transform: scaleX(-1);
      -o-transform: scaleX(-1);
      transform: scaleX(-1);
    }

Also if you want to create a bar from right to left, just use
min: 100
max: 0

I finally got it working.

So I had to use Config-template-card to alter the values for Min, Max and Target.
When altering Min, Max the bar would never display, therefore I calculate a new value for the target value to indicate the percentage, in this case it was around 42 I think. So the target has to be set at 42 (from the 100-0 scale) to represent 71% length.

Here is the code for the sensor that I use as target value:
l is the left value, r the right.
the sensors I use for l and r are complementary, that means the always add up to 100. You probably can also do it with just one sensor and then just substract 100 for the other.

      - name: percent_calculated_bar
        unique_id: percent_calculated_bar
        state: >
          {% set l = states('sensor.percent_selfuse_vs_export')|float(0) %}
          {% set r = states('sensor.percent_export_vs_selfuse')|float(0) %}
          {% set m = ( ( states('sensor.percent_export_vs_selfuse')|float(0) - states('sensor.percent_selfuse_vs_export')|float(0))|abs)|round(0) %}

          {% if l > r %}
           {{  ( l - ( l * m / 100  )   )|round(0) }}
          {% endif %}

          {% if r >= l %}
           {{  ( l + ( l * m / 100 )   )|round(0) }}
          {% endif %}

The code of the card is as follows (did not mess with coloring yet):

Does anyone know how I can display a currency symbol $ in front an entity being used in the bar card, or even just display a different entity’s value? I have another entity which contains the exact value I want to display, i.e. “$5.9 USD”

I’ve tried card-mod, card-templater without much success.

I was able to get this working on a forked version of the gauge card, where the author added an configuration item called: “valueEntity”:

If this is not currently possible, I can open a feature request.

Please show your card-mod try, I may point at possible error.
