v3.0.0 is out — and this thread has moved.

The project has been renamed to Weather Alerts Card (same card, broader provider support). The new home is here:

→ Weather Alerts Card thread

Please post future questions, screenshots, and dashboard tips there so the conversation doesn't fragment across two topics. Bug reports continue to live on GitHub issues.

What's new in v3.0.0

  • Contrast-aware colors — enhanceContrast: subtle (default) or strict boosts NWS event colors whose raw hex reads poorly against the active theme background, per event and per theme mode. This is the fix for "yellow Tornado Watch is invisible on light backgrounds."
  • Per-alert dismiss with undo — opt in with allowDismiss: true. Includes a drag-to-dismiss pointer gesture and configurable trigger/style. State is browser-local, so dismissing on a phone doesn't affect the wall tablet.
  • CAP Alerts integration support — the experimental seevee/cap_alerts integration creates one HA sensor per active alert; the card now auto-discovers them under a device: (and re-discovers as alerts come and go).
  • ECCC (Environment Canada) adapter for Canadian users — currently written against @michaeldavie's fork, and not the default integration.
  • Heads-up: v1 backwards-compatibility shims were removed in this release. v2.x configs are unchanged. If you originally set this card up under v1 and haven't touched it since, you may need to re-add it from the editor.

NWS users specifically: nothing about the NWS code path changed. Existing sensor.nws_alerts_alerts setups still auto-detect and work identically. finity69x2/nws_alerts remains the recommended NWS integration.

See you in the new thread.
