Hi,
I’m new to all this so go easy on me. I just created a replacement for the ha-text-editor (it uses ha-text-editor under the hood). I wanted real-time updates and more.
Super Text Input Card for Home Assistant
I hate the default text_input card. It’s huge, ugly and the onblur update is annoying. Especially on mobile. I wanted a replacement that was compact, flexible, could easily be styled and had icon(s)/button(s).
So, I made one. A highly customizable text input card that provides real-time updates, buttons (and actions), advanced styling options and more. It also supports firing events after text updates, to same on creating automations. It supports text entities as well as text_input entities.
Want to edit in real-time (with debounce) - yes.
Want to send your text to TTS with a built in button - yes.
Want to update the text and then send an action with the text supplied - yes.
Want 4 buttons - yes.
Again - I’m new to this and hacked my way to this card. Must be bugs. Must be missing things. Just let me know. I’ll do my best! Also feel free to edit the code and send me PR’s. The code is heavily commented. Not quite ready for HACS yet. So manual install.
