Vacuum Card

Vacuum cleaner card for Home Assistant Lovelace UI

By default, Home Assistant does not provide any card for controlling vacuum cleaners. This card displays the state and allows to control your robot.

Installing

💡 Tip: If you like this project, consider giving me a tip for the time I spent building this project:

HACS

This card is available in HACS (Home Assistant Community Store).

Just search for Vacuum Card in plugins tab.

Manual

1. Download vacuum-card.js file from the latest-release.

2. Put vacuum-card.js file into your config/www folder.

3. Add reference to vacuum-card.js in Lovelace. There’s two way to do that:

   1. Using UI: Configuration → Lovelace Dashboards → Resources Tab → Click Plus button → Set Url as /local/vacuum-card.js → Set Resource type as JavaScript Module. Note: If you do not see the Resources Tab, you will need to enable Advanced Mode in your User Profile

   2. Using YAML: Add following code to lovelace section.

      resources:
        - url: /local/vacuum-card.js
          type: module
      

4. Add custom:vacuum-card to Lovelace UI as any other card (using either editor or YAML configuration).

Usage

This card can be configured using Lovelace UI editor.

1. In Lovelace UI, click 3 dots in top left corner.
2. Click Configure UI.
3. Click Plus button to add a new card.
4. Find Custom: Vacuum Card in the list.
5. Choose entity.
6. Now you should see the preview of the card!

Sorry, no support for actions, shortcuts and stats in visual config yet.

Typical example of using this card in YAML config would look like this:

type: 'custom:vacuum-card'
entity: vacuum.vacuum_cleaner

  start:
    service: xiaomi_miio.vacuum_clean_segment
    service_data:

Supported models

This card relies on basic vacuum services, like pause, start, stop, return_to_base, etc. It should work with any robot vacuum, however I can physically test it only with my own robot vacuum.
