:bulb: For anyone interested in seeing the Radar Card in action, it was recently featured in a video by BeardedTinker on YouTube.
He covers not just the Radar Card, but also two other awesome HACS projects that can really level up your Home Assistant dashboard:

  • Entity Visualizer – beautifully maps out how all your devices connect and interact.
  • Radar Card – track multiple entities in a sleek radar-style view (perfect for sensors, trackers, and device trackers).
  • Frosted Glass Theme – gives your dashboard a futuristic transparent-glass look.

He also walks through installation, setup, and customization, so it’s a great way to get inspired if you’re considering trying out the Radar Card yourself.
