Search Card

Quickly search for entities from a Lovelace card.

Features

Search for entities and display results in frontend
Define custom actions that can be called for search input
More to come...

Roadmap

Some things I want to add in upcoming releases:

Exclude domains and/or entities from results
Button to show all results (to override "max results")

Install

Make sure card-tools is installed first.

Simple Install

Download search-card.js and copy it into config/www/search-card (create the search-card directory)
Add a reference to search-card/search-card.js inside your ui-lovelace.yaml
```
resources:
- url: /local/search-card/search-card.js?v=0
  type: module
```

Git Install

Clone this repository into your www-directory: git clone https://github.com/postlund/search-card.git
Add a reference to search-card/search-card.js inside your ui-lovelace.yaml
```
resources:
- url: /local/search-card/search-card.js?v=0
  type: module
```

HACS

Look for Search Card in the store.

Updating

If you...

manually copied the files, just download the latest files and overwrite what you already have
cloned the repository from Github, just do git pull to update

... and increase ?v=X to ?vX+1.

Using the card

Options

Name	Type	Default	Description
max_results	integer	10	Max results to show by default
actions	Object	optional	Custom defined actions
search_text	String	"Type to search..."	Override of placeholder text
included_domains	Array of String	optional	Only show entities from defined domains. Cannot be set together with `excluded_domains`.
excluded_domains	Array of String	optional	Don't show entities from defined domains. Cannot be set together with `included_domains`.

Actions

You can define custom actions that will call a service (if it exists) with the input. Matching is done via regular expressions and {1}, {2}, {3}, etc. will be replaced by the corresponding group. See example below for inspiration.

Example

    type: custom:search-card
    max_results: 10
    actions:
      - matches: '^toggle (.+\..+)'
        name: 'Toggle {1}'
        service: homeassistant.toggle
        service_data:
        entity_id: {1}
    excluded_domains:
      - automation

Issues and imitations

This is still an early version and may contain bugs. If you find any problems, please write an issue.

Getting errors?

Clear the browser cache, restart Home Assistant and make sure the configuration is correct. Also make sure card-tools is installed properly.

If you believe you have found an error, please write an issue.
