Question 1

How do I install dual gauge card with HACS?

Accepted Answer

Add the repository via HACS, install the card, and include the JS resource in your Lovelace configuration YAML as shown in the README. For manual installation, download the JS file to your www directory and update the YAML accordingly.

Question 2

Dual gauge card vs standard gauge card: which is better for temperature monitoring?

Accepted Answer

Dual gauge card is ideal for compact, side-by-side comparison of current and target temperatures in one visual. Standard cards are better if you need separate controls or only one metric, as dual gauge adds complexity but saves space.

Question 3

How to change colors based on sensor values like humidity?

Accepted Answer

Define a colors list in the config with value-color pairs, such as setting green for optimal levels and red for high humidity. The card automatically applies colors based on thresholds, with options for individual gauge customization.

Question 4

Does dual gauge card work on mobile devices?

Accepted Answer

No, it's not responsive; the card has a fixed width in pixels and won't resize automatically. You may need to adjust the cardwidth manually for different screens, which can lead to inconsistent displays.

Question 5

What if the maintainer leaves and no one takes over?

Accepted Answer

The project might become unsupported, risking bugs and incompatibility with Home Assistant updates. Users should consider forking or finding alternatives, as indicated by the README's call for a new maintainer.

Question 6

How to set different min and max for each gauge?

Accepted Answer

Specify min and max under the outer and inner objects in the YAML config. These individual settings override the common values, allowing each gauge to have its own range, as demonstrated in the example configurations.

Question 7

Can I use entity attributes instead of the main state?

Accepted Answer

Yes, use the 'attribute' field in the gauge config to display attributes like target temperature from a climate entity. This allows flexibility in data sources without modifying the entity state directly.
