Vacuum cleaner card for [Home Assistant][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.
![Preview of vacuum-card][preview-image]
💡 Tip: If you like this project, consider giving me a tip for the time I spent building this project:
This card is available in [HACS][hacs] (Home Assistant Community Store).
Just search for Vacuum Card in plugins tab.
vacuum-card.js file from the [latest-release].vacuum-card.js file into your config/www folder.vacuum-card.js in Lovelace. There's two way to do that:/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 ProfileUsing YAML: Add following code to lovelace section.
yaml
resources:
- url: /local/vacuum-card.js
type: module
Add custom:vacuum-card to Lovelace UI as any other card (using either editor or YAML configuration).
This card can be configured using Lovelace UI editor.

I've added some animations for this card to make it alive. Animations are applied only for image property. Here's how they look like:
| Cleaning | Docking |

| ![Cleaning anumation][cleaning-gif] | ![Returning anumation][returning-gif] |
This card supports translations. Please, help to add more translations and improve existing ones. Here's a list of supported languages:
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.
If this card works with your vacuum cleaner, please open a PR and your model to the list.
