More love for other cards :)

Feature Requests

TBH: I didn’t like the preview how HA should look like in the future (the demo that was showed at some point in the past) - but right now, I really like the effort put into the TileCards and also into the “Thermostat” Card.

Another option I could imagine - and which goes into the same direction as the Thermostat card - would be a “Component” Card.

Means, depending of the component (Thermostat, Switch, Button) it would show the same design as in the “More Info” Card.

BUT:
The main reason for this post are cards, that really need some love - like the plant card (there are several custom cards available) - but It would be great to have them in a similar look and feel and that they would fit the new design approaches…

Right now, I am using the following custom card for plant status (GitHub - Olen/lovelace-flower-card: Lovelace Flower Card to match the custom plant integration)
grafik

In addition to that - I think it would make sense to provide some other cards, that would fit to integrations providing “multiple” sensors…
For example, a “Body Scale” / “Health” Card - for integrations like Withings, Xiaomi Body Scales and other integrations that would support body / health related information.

This feature request would also be a call for people who have more knowledge in creating cards… and could imagine to build something like this … :wink:

Then you should suggest that to the developer of those custom cards.

I would recommend you stick to one specific feature per feature-request-post otherwise no-one knows exactly what you want and it’ll never happen.

Yes, I can do that… :slight_smile:
But I would consider, that the team should go through their own cards and have a look, what cards could get some makeover to fit into the new design language :wink:

my personal goal is, to slowly remove ‘custom’ cards whenever it’s possible…

yes, usually I would do so :wink:
Here - tbh: the intention was just to show that there are many other cards that would require some make over to fit into the new design language of homeassistant.

It’s just a collection of some ideas, rather than a very specific whish - and these are no “must haves” in the end.

Therefore, I didn’t want to open 4 feature requests - and just add the “main” request here … for now

Be careful what you ask for.

As you point out in the OP, not everyone likes the direction the design is going already. I wouldn’t encourage more effort be diverted from the many worthy FR’s already on the table, to deal with UI tweaks.

Disclaimer: I’m a function over form guy. Sure, pretty designs are great, and keep designers employed. But when I look at all the ideas about where HA can be improved or fixed, making things more stylish falls pretty low on my priority list.
