Vacuum cleaner card for 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.
💡 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 (Home Assistant Community Store).
Just search for Vacuum Card
in plugins tab.
Download vacuum-card.js
file from the latest-release.
Put vacuum-card.js
file into your config/www
folder.
Add reference to 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.
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.

You can use card-mod
to customize the card on per-card basis, like this:
type: 'custom:vacuum-card'
style: |
ha-card {
--vc-background: #17A8F4;
--vc-spacing: 5px;
}
...
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 |
---|---|
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.
