Purifier Card

Air Purifier card for Home Assistant Lovelace UI

By default, the Home Assistant does not provide any card for controlling air purifiers. This card displays the state and allows to control your air purifier.

Installing

Just search for Purifier Card in the plugins tab.

Manual

1. Download purifier-card.js file from the latest-release.
2. Put purifier-card.js file into your config/www folder.
3. Add a reference to purifier-card.js in Lovelace. There's two way to do that:
   1. Using UI: Configuration → Lovelace Dashboards → Resources → Click Plus button → Set Url as /local/purifier-card.js → Set Resource type as JavaScript Module.
   2. Using YAML: Add the following code to lovelace section.

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

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

Using the card

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: Purifier Card in the list.
5. Choose entity.
6. Now you should see the preview of the card!

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

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

type: 'custom:purifier-card'
entity: fan.purifier
stats:
  - attribute: filter_life_remaining
    unit: '%'
    subtitle: Filter Remaining
  - attribute: motor_speed
    unit: RPM
    subtitle: Motor Speed
  - entity_id: sensor.purifier_filter_life
    value_template: '{{ (value | float(0) / 3600) | round(1) }}'
    unit: hours
    subtitle: Filter Life
shortcuts:
  - name: Silent
    icon: 'mdi:weather-night'
    preset_mode: Silent
  - name: 25%
    icon: 'mdi:circle-slice-2'
    percentage: 25
  - name: 50%
    icon: 'mdi:circle-slice-4'
    percentage: 50
  - name: 75%
    icon: 'mdi:circle-slice-6'
    percentage: 75
  - name: 100%
    icon: 'mdi:circle-slice-8'
    percentage: 100
  - name: Auto
    icon: 'mdi:brightness-auto'
    preset_mode: Auto
show_name: true
show_state: true
show_toolbar: true
compact_view: false

Here is what every option means:

aqi object

stats object

You can use any attribute of purifier or even any entity by entity_id to display by stats section:

shortcuts object

You can define custom scripts for custom actions or add shortcuts for switching presets and percentages via shortcuts option.

The card will automatically try to figure out which one of shortcuts is currently active. The shortcut will be highlighted when:

1. It's a service.
2. entity's percentage attribute is equal to shortcut's percentage.
3. entity's preset_mode attribute is equal to shortcut's preset_mode.

Theming

This card can be styled by changing the values of these CSS properties (globally or per-card via card-mod):

Styling via theme

Here is an example of customization via theme. Read more in the Frontend documentation.

my-custom-theme:
  pc-background: '#17A8F4'
  pc-spacing: 5px

Styling via card-mod

You can use card-mod to customize the card on per-card basis, like this:

type: 'custom:purifier-card'
style: |
  ha-card {
    --pc-background: #17A8F4;
    --pc-spacing: 5px;
  }
  ...

Animations

I've added an animation for this card to make it alive:

How did I make this animation? It's a long story…

1. I took original gif file from here.
2. Then I tweaked image levels to make the background black and purifier white.
3. Then I inverted colors on the gif.
4. Then I've split the gif by frame.
5. Then I removed the background of the image frame by frame using remove.bg.
6. Then I upscaled each of those images using icons8.com/upscaler.
7. Then I put up all of those images back in a single gif.
8. Profit!

Archive with images from all of these steps can be found here.
