Bubble Card 2

v2.1.0

Hi everyone!

I’m back! The past few weeks have been quite busy for me and I haven’t slept much because… I’m now a dad! And I'm so proud of this new achievement! 🥲

Despite the new and joyous responsibilities, I’ve managed to take some time to address some of the recently submitted issues.

I also have a good news for some users. By fixing an issue with the haptic feedback feature, I found a massive memory leak in the sub-buttons actions. This was consuming the RAM and the CPU over time and was mainly noticeable on low-end devices. This issue was slowing down/breaking the pop-ups on some setups. I can say that everything is A LOT faster and everything is working perfectly now!

But that’s not all! I also wanted to introduce a new card to the collection, but also some new features!

Here are all the details:

Select card

You now have the possibility to add a dropdown menu for your input_select / select entities! This new card also supports the sub-buttons and all the common Bubble Card features.

Select feature for the sub-buttons

In addition to the new select card, you now have the option to add a dropdown menu for your input_select / select entities to your sub-buttons!

Open / Close action for the pop-ups

This new feature allows you to trigger an action, similar to the ones from the tap actions, but when your pop-up is opening/closing. For example, this allows you to cancel an alarm pop-up, or to toggle a boolean to track the state of a pop-up. This is perfect in combination with the pop-up trigger feature! In YAML you can add open_action: and close_action: followed by any available action.

Hiding the pop-up header

You can now fully hide the pop-up header, including the close button, without any custom styles. In YAML you can hide it with show_header: false or with the new toggle in the editor.

💡 New features

• Select card: In YAML you can add it with card_type: select, the YAML is basically the same as the buttons (more details above)
• Select feature for the sub-buttons: Sub-buttons now supports input_select and select entities (more details above)
• Hiding the pop-up header: Ability to remove the pop-up header (more details above)
• Open / Close action for the pop-ups: open_action: and close_action: for pop-ups (more details above)
• Deep attributes: @brunosabot added the ability to get deeper values in the attributes, like forecast[0].templow. PR #577
• Assist action: You can now add the Assist action in the editor.  #595

And if you are interested I've opened a Subreddit for Bubble Card where I post my progress on the project. Here it is:

Ho one more thing, @brunosabot the developer who helped me the most with v2, has just published a very complete article on how he created his Home Assistant dashboard almost entirely with Bubble Card. Go take it a look!
