Xiaomi Vacuum Card
A customizable Lovelace UI card for monitoring and controlling various robot vacuum brands in Home Assistant.
What is Xiaomi Vacuum Card?
Xiaomi-vacuum-card is a custom Lovelace UI card for Home Assistant that provides a dashboard interface for monitoring and controlling various robot vacuum cleaners. It displays real-time status, battery levels, and component health, and offers buttons to trigger cleaning actions directly from the Home Assistant interface. It solves the problem of managing multiple vacuum brands through a single, customizable card.
Home Assistant users who own robot vacuums and want a unified, visually appealing dashboard card for monitoring and controlling their devices.
Developers choose this card for its broad vendor support, high degree of customization, and seamless integration with Home Assistant's Lovelace UI, eliminating the need for separate vendor-specific interfaces.
