Hi everyone,
I’ve been working on a custom Lovelace card called PulseLine Card.
It’s meant for dashboards where you want a compact metric card, but still want a little more context than a basic entity card provides. PulseLine combines a primary value with optional supporting information like Kudos labels, deltas, sparklines, progress bars, and dual value display.
GitHub:
PulseLine is currently installable through HACS as a custom repository while it waits for default HACS inclusion.
What it does
PulseLine is designed for compact sensor cards where the current value matters, but so does a small amount of context.
It supports:
- compact single value cards
- optional Kudos labels based on value ranges
- optional Kudos icons and colors
- optional accent override based on the active Kudos range
- delta rows for recent change
- recent values sparklines
- recent days sparklines
- progress bars for score style cards
- dual mode for paired values
- graceful unavailable and unknown handling
- a visual preview in the Home Assistant card picker
Some examples of where it can be useful:
- sleep scores
- steps
- air quality
- battery levels
- weight
- temperature or humidity
- blood pressure
- any numeric sensor where a compact trend or status label is helpful
Installation
Until it is available directly in the default HACS store, install it as a HACS custom repository.

Then search for PulseLine Card in HACS and download it.
