Bubble Card 3

v3.1.5

Hi everyone!

Bubble Card v3.1.5 was not planned at all. I was already deep into the work for Bubble Card v3.2.0 when the Home Assistant 2026.4 update introduced a compatibility issue with pop-ups and forced me to release a new version earlier than expected!

So if you already updated Home Assistant, this release is clearly an essential one. I also took the opportunity to include some bug fixes and major optimizations that should bring a very noticeable performance boost for pop-ups and more complex dashboards, especially if you use a lot of modules, custom styles or custom templates, and even more on low-end devices!

And yes... once again, a Home Assistant update decided to delay Bubble Card v3.2.0 a bit more 😅 But on the bright side, this also pushed me to prepare even more groundwork for it, and spoiler: it will be even more focused on pop-ups!

Thank you all again for your support, reports, and patience ❤️

Here’s the full changelog:

✔️ Bug fixes and improvements

• Pop-up compatibility for Home Assistant 2026.4:
  Fixed an issue affecting pop-ups with the new Home Assistant 2026.4 update. #2301 #2313

• Much faster pop-up opening on low-tier devices (again!):
  Improved pop-up opening performance and transitions so they feel faster and smoother, especially on slower devices.

• Cards inside pop-ups now work more reliably:
  Fixed an issue where some cards could fail inside pop-ups, including Apex Charts. #1789 #2096 #2212

• Pop-ups now restore correctly after wake:
  Fixed an issue where pop-ups did not always restore properly after wake. #2307

• Custom styles, templates and modules are now more efficient:
  Optimized the style system so custom styles, custom templates and modules load faster and use fewer resources.

• Pinch-to-zoom no longer interferes with pop-ups:
  Fixed pinch-to-zoom behavior inside pop-ups (when enabled). #2199

• Older iOS/Safari versions now render sliders correctly:
  Fixed a rendering issue affecting slider cards on older iOS/Safari versions. #2286

• Scrolling text now uses fewer resources:
  Reduced unnecessary repaints when scrolling text does not need to update, which helps lower resource usage a bit more. Thanks to @splitice! #2299

Bubble News 🍻

Over the past few years, I’ve been working on Bubble Card almost every day to make it the best it can be, and I still can’t believe how much it has grown in popularity. Watching the community getting this big and seeing so many people using my work has been incredibly rewarding ❤️

This is why I decided to create a Patreon as a way to offer something more for those who want to support me. Over the past few months, I’ve released 5 modules that are easily configurable in the editor, like any other feature:

• Bubble Badges v2 - Unlimited badges on any sub-button or the main icon
• Bubble Weather Animated weather backgrounds with daily/hourly forecasts
• Bubble Calendar Enhanced Add time and date on buttons or calendar cards with customizable layout options
• Bubble Neon A dynamic theme that automatically assigns unique vibrant colors to each Bubble Card
• Custom dropdown Full control over labels, icons, and actions on select cards and sub-buttons

I’m also finally happy with my own dashboard (there is a short video of it in this Reddit post), built entirely with Bubble Card v3.1.0 and only new custom modules I've been working on for months! Like one that adds unique colors and styles to all cards, one for the weather, one for graphs, square cards, time... I’ll release more of these modules soon, with a detailed post on Patreon and a new YouTube video. I would love to know what you think!

Thank you so much for being part of this amazing community, your support always makes a huge difference! ❤️

I’ve been wanting to start my own YouTube channel for a while, focusing on tutorials around Home Assistant and Bubble Card, and I really hope you will enjoy my videos. Don’t hesitate to subscribe to help give my channel more visibility. Thank you in advance!

I want to highlight that on the GitHub page, in the Discussions section, you can share and discover some amazing YAML examples from the community. Go check it out! Some of the creations are absolutely incredible!

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