Mushroom or Tilecards

Hi,

after the new Update from HA, the Tilecard has a lot of new functions.
What is the future of Mushroom?
Will Tilecards replace Mushroom?

Why should I use Mushroom now? What are the differences?

Regards
Herbert

Tilecards are native HA Cards, Mushrooms are Custom:, , so Tile wont replace Mushroom unless the author decide to abandon his repo.

I really can’t guide you in this matter, it depends entirely upon how you “use” the cards ( And they are different in many aspects )

Hi, thank you for your answer.
The author is now a member of the Homeassistant developers. So it could be that the tile cards are getting more and more functions, which means that the Mushroom is no longer maintained.

Instead of speculating, why not look at the actual evidence? The last change committed to Mushroom was just 2 weeks ago. Indeed, the developer has fixed many bugs and added several new features to Mushroom cards since he joined Nabu Casa.

In particular, the templating features of Mushroom cards are highly unlikely to make it into any core Lovelace card. So as boheme61 says, use Tile cards if you need to, but you should feel safe with continuing to use Mushroom for the things (especially really fine-grained customization) that Tile cards will never offer.
