I blindly followed the HACS instruction to remove the original card because it has been archived - bad move.
I installed your fork in HACS and downloaded it - good move.
Everything works again - thank you.
Can you explain, what didn’t work before this exchange from original to fork anymore? Even it has been archived, for me it is (currently still) running 1:1 as before.
You could check out the 47 commits since it was forked.

Was this an answer to my question “what didn’t work before this exchange from original to fork anymore”? If yes, I don’t get it.
I know the fork. But this does not mean, that anything is not working anymore with the old one. At least as I know, so I asked for examples to check if perhaps here as well.
What I am saying is I don’t know, but the only way to check is if one of @SpangleLabs commits seems to have changed something critical to you.
Foolishly I removed the original because on a restart of HA it showed up as a repair (I think) warning me to remove it as it was archived.
The original was working fine.
To reinstate the functionality I downloaded the fork.
doing so mainly (if not only) reveals repo edits, documentation and some build changes.
As far as I can see, no functionality or changes to the resource files?
Also, since no issues were experienced in the state Alex left it, and HA didnt yet break anything (…) there was no reason yet to change from the original
Hi, can you please explain how you did this. I’m not able to get this in HACS running. Thx
follow this to add repository to HACS…
Use aforementioned “add repository to HACS” steps. The trick for my was to use Lovelace as Category.
Also feel it is sad to see a great contributor leave the community. The History Explorer Card is my goto place when I need to investigate when something operated in an unexpected way.
I hope that the longstanding conflict can eventually be resolved. Sometimes all it takes is meeting each other physically with a nice beer trying to understand each others viewpoint (and possibly) agree to disagree.
For now: thanks @HeyImAlex!!!
It was the trick. Thanks a lot for the small but valuable tip.I also find it very unfortunate when such disagreements arise in this impressive community.
having deleted the custom card when it was deprecated by Alex, I am confronted with an issue in HA 2024.6, for which I want to rule out the fact I have used History explorer card before.
Ive scrolled through the complete thread above, but cant for the life of me find where the card stored its local per browser cache/settings.
I remember we could see that info in the Inspector window tab local storage, but currently cant find anything.
Could anyone still using this card please help me out and find the correct Inspector tab and relevant setting?
thanks
Why?
Not exactly clear what you mean. Where stored? In the cache. Where to define? In yaml in one single card per installation card
type: custom:history-explorer-card
stateColorSeed: 137
infoPanel:
stateColorSeed: 137
lineMode: stepped
stateTextMode: auto
uimode: dark
showUnavailable: false
decimation: false
refresh:
automatic: true
etc. etc.
Where to enable?
In the card per browser
Given it some serious doubt, as I really loved the way HE card shows the entities, and allows me to set a Panel view in a custom view.
However, since HA is developing in such a fast pace, and most certainly the Frontend is, I figured to try and keep as core a possible. Or, only have custom, but when maintained.
For the same reason I just took out custom:bar-card, and developed my own card_mod (maintained more or less…) replacements for that.
yes, but where…
I just scrolled thought storage in Safe mode (hadn’t done that before, because it leaves me not a single view…). I does make the inspector much more readable and I believe this is what I meant
Mind you, I have reloaded/refreshed/reset cache hundreds of times after having deleted the HE custom card many weeks ago. And still this was in todays cache…
I would assume a cookie.
might be off here but for me there is a Key in Local Storage for History Explorer Card…not sure if that’s what you are looking for…
Opening same page Incognito doesn’t have this Key
yes, that was what I was after, and which I found I the screenshot above, thx.
It’s permanently gone now (manually deleted the line), so I am sure it is not in anyway related to my entities issue…

I think with the revived development of the card that the title of the thread ought to be changed to remove the “[Deprecated]” moniker.
Agreed. Leaving the honours to you, Mr Regular.
