No jokes. This addon was not in HACS search results when I posted my question. The instructions on the github page just say use HACS or manually do something with a .js file which I tried but failed.
Today I tried adding a custom repository but didn’t know what URL the poster below was referring to. Next thing red text on the repository entry dialog box says “history-explorer-card is already in the store”. Wtf
Go to store search. There it is.
Anyone here found a way of using Process to access attributes? Or is it not possible at all? I would like to randomly check the light brightness in the past, so not really want to store them as template sensors.
Sooooorry, I cant find it in the store searching for ‘History…’ or ‘spangle…’ and when I want to add it as custom repository I get the message ‘Its already in the store …’
Maybe we can get solid infos how to install this card, which looks very nice and useful.
With best regards

It’s on the page cited in the first message in this post
You just install it in HACS (no longer any need for a custom repository)
Here’s a link to the installation instructions
Here it is showing up in HACS
It’s not in the default repository list of HACS. I had to manually add the repository and then the card becomes available to download in the HACS UI.
Maybe the maintainers of HACS should be notified about the repository change. Or is there any specific reason it can not (yet) be included in the default repository list?
The new maintainer needs to request to add it to the default list in HACS.
@petro a PR for that was raised back in May and it’s still open! Not as if the new maintainer hasn’t tried to get it into the default HACS directory.
Those PRs are the only way to get things in HACS default. So you just have to wait then.
That PR now has 5 thumbs ups - perhaps we can all chip in and give it some attention to get reviewed?
Well it has 6 now I have added one. But it needs updating ( This branch is out-of-date with the base branch)

I understood that there has been a halt on the author of HACS accepting new repos, perhaps while HACS 2 was being developed. Whether he is working through a backlog, or just leaving people to add custom repos by themselves, I am unsure. By the look of the number of pull requests in the HACS GitHub, there is a big mouthful to chew.
He’s definitely adding things now. You can look at the commit history. He reviews the code, so it takes a long time.

Sorry, still can’t find it in the store. Different name?
I searched for ‘History’ no one hit.

You have to manually add it
