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

💡 Tip: If you like this project and want to get some stickers and postcards, 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 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:

Name	Type	Default	Description
type	string	Required	custom:purifier-card
entity	string	Required	An entity_id within the fan domain.
show_name	boolean	true	Show friendly name of the purifier.
show_state	boolean	true	Show state of the purifier.

show_toolbar	boolean	true	Show toolbar with shortcuts.
compact_view	boolean	false	Compact view without image.
aqi	object	Optional	Custom entity or attribute for AQI value.
stats	array	Optional	Custom per state stats for your purifier cleaner
shortcuts	object	Optional	Custom shortcuts for your purifier cleaner.

aqi object

Name	Type	Default	Description
entity_id	string	Optional	An entity_id with state, i.e. sensor.current_aqi.
attribute	string	Optional	An attribute which should be used to get AQI value.
unit	string	Optional	An unit of measurement to display.

You can also combine attribute with entity_id to extract an attribute value of specific entity.

stats object

You can use any attribute of purifier or even any entity by entity_id to display by stats section. Not only that, but you can also combine attribute with entity_id to extract an attribute value of specific entity:

Name	Type	Default	Description
entity_id	string	Optional	An entity_id with state, i.e. sensor.purifier_aqi.
attribute	string	Optional	Attribute name of the stat, i.e. filter_left.
value_template	string	Optional	Jinja2 template returning a value. value variable represents the entity_id or attribute state.
unit	string	Optional	Unit of measure, i.e. hours.
subtitle	string	Optional	Friendly name of the stat, i.e. Filter.

shortcuts object

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

Name	Type	Default	Description
name	string	Optional	Friendly name of the shortcut, i.e. Switch to Auto.
icon	string	Optional	Any icon for shortcut button.
service	string	Optional	A service to call, i.e. script.clean_air.
target	object	Optional	A HassServiceTarget, to define a target for the current service call.
service_data	object	Optional	service_data for service call
percentage	object	Optional	A percentage to switch to, i.e. 27, etc. See entity's percentage_step for valid values.
preset_mode	object	Optional	A speed to switch to, i.e. Auto, etc

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.

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][card-mod] to customize the card on per-card basis, like this:

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.
