i am a user of Dwains Dashboard and i always thought this is kinda perfect. Because of lack of support with this project i wanted to make my own dashboards but this is where the trouble begins…
There are plenty of cards which can handle most stuff but there was no card like the status card.
I tried a bit with auto entities but was not satisfied with the end product so i tried to make my own card. Porblem was and still is that i don’t know much about javascript and development for HA. But i still tried and now i have a working card.
I still hope this card comes to HACS but at this point you hav to manually add it as a custom repo to your HACS.
I have to say that it works for me and some other people but this card is not widely tested. So if any problems may happen just open an issue on GitHub.
Features
shows person entities
shows all entities which aren’t off grouped by domain or deivce class
customization of domains and device classes
can show extra entities
you can hide certain entities
graphical editor
should work in all available HA languages
How does it work?
This card shows every person entity which is present in your HA environment. You can also disable that person entities will be shown.
Also this card goes through a bunch of domains and device classes and looks for the state of all entities inside them.
If the entity is on, home or open (or something else which isn’t off) it will show up in the card.
Please keep attention that it will only show entities which are linked to any area. Without this it would be a mess.
This is Not possible at the moment. The only way would be to change the name of a person in HA settings or completely hide the persons in my status card.
Hello, first of all, thank you for the great card. Unfortunately, the display of updates is not working for me. Does this only work for Home Assistant updates? I would also like to display HACS updates; I have already set a label with ‘Update’ for an available update, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work
Saw this as well. I am 100% sure that updates have worked before. Not sure why this is not working but I will put it on my list.
Currently working on another issue. Hopefully I will fix this in the next update too
EDIT: did not thought about this as i was writing. updates work as every other domain/device class. you need to assign an area to show.
but i need to say this makes no sense for update so i wrote a function that always shows updates when they are available. so they wont have to be assigned to an area.
Hi and thanks for this card. I don’t know if this is already known but within the domain “light” there are only a few lights shown. Any idea why? The remarkable thing is, that the lights from my cameras (IR lights) are shown all others are not. All my lights are starting with light.xxxxx
Thanks
Update: Sorry my bad … just read it … “all entities must be linked to an area” sorry … it’s working.
The card is very nice. However, in my case, you can’t edit anything outside the area. No slider works.
I don’t know if it’s not due to the large number of devices. Has anyone had similar problems?

Hello, I really like your card and enjoy using it, thank you. However, I don’t understand the “Calendar” option. I’ve activated it, but nothing is ever displayed. How can I use it? I would like to see my daily appointments with it—would that be possible?
Pretty easy to answer. Calendar only shows if your calendar entity like calendar.holidays is assigned to any area. After binding to an area there has to be at least one entry in your calendar so the calendar attribute would go from 0 to 1 (or how many calendar entries you have)
I wanted to have the assignement to an area because it could be messy with showing all entities with and without an area. but i also changed this for updates maybe i will change it for calendar too
All Entities/Devices you want to show in the card needs to be assigned to an area. Otherwise the entities wont be shown. Its just that the card wont show thousands of entities.
I’m having a weird problem where the card isn’t showing entities in the areas selected and showing entities from other areas instead. Under “Edit Content” the automatically selected content appears correct, but it isn’t showing up and instead it’s selecting some random entities from random areas. I can work around this by selecting Extra Entities that I want, but there’s an open issue (extra_entities not following definined Actions · Issue #34 · xBourner/status-card · GitHub) with extra entities not following defined actions.
