Hi everyone!

I wanted to share a new HACS custom Lovelace card I’ve been working on with my AI agent for Toshiba AC units exposed through the Toshiba AC Community integration :slight_smile:

The card is called Toshiba AC Plus Card and is intended to provide a more compact, mobile-friendly, thermostat-style control panel for Toshiba air conditioners.

Features

  • Circular thermostat-style temperature control
  • Current temperature display
  • Target temperature dial with touch/drag support
  • Mode selector
  • Preset selector
  • Fan Mode selector
  • Swing Mode selector
  • High Power toggle
  • ECO toggle
  • Optional off-timer support using a Home Assistant Timer helper
  • Timer countdown shown directly in the card
  • Included automation blueprint to turn the AC off when the timer finishes

Why I built it

The standard card works, but for Toshiba AC units I wanted something that exposes the extra Toshiba controls in one place without needing to click three dots to control some of the other features. Also some of the entities available via the Toshiba AC integration are not even linked to any controls - button, dropdown selector.

The goal was to make a compact card that feels good both on desktop and phone dashboards.

Timer support

The card can start/cancel a native Home Assistant timer helper. When active, the Timer button shows the remaining countdown directly inside the card.

Because frontend cards cannot reliably perform delayed actions if the browser tab is closed, the actual AC turn-off is handled by an included Home Assistant automation blueprint.

Per AC unit, the timer setup needs:

  • one Timer helper
  • one automation from the included blueprint

No separate duration helper is required.

Current status

Current release is:

v0.4.0 beta

I’ve tested it with my own Toshiba AC setup, including the off-timer behavior, and it’s working well so far.

That said, I’m calling it beta because it has only been tested against my own setup. Feedback, bug reports, and compatibility reports from other Toshiba AC users would be very welcome.

Feedback welcome

If anyone else wants to try it, I’d love to hear:

  • whether entity auto-detection works for your setup
  • whether the card behaves well on mobile
  • whether your Toshiba feature entities map correctly
  • any UI/UX rough edges

Thanks!
