A custom Lovelace card for Home Assistant to display and control air purifiers with stats, shortcuts, and theming.
Purifier Card is a custom Lovelace UI card for Home Assistant that provides a visual interface for monitoring and controlling air purifiers. It displays real-time stats like filter life and AQI, offers customizable shortcuts for presets and fan speeds, and integrates seamlessly with Home Assistant's dashboard. The card solves the problem of Home Assistant lacking a built-in, feature-rich component for air purifier management.
Home Assistant users who own air purifiers and want a better dashboard experience for monitoring and controlling them. It's ideal for smart home enthusiasts who use Lovelace UI and prefer customizable, visually appealing cards.
Developers choose Purifier Card because it's a dedicated, open-source solution that enhances Home Assistant's native capabilities with extensive customization, broad device support, and an active community. Its theming options, multi-language support, and easy installation via HACS make it a versatile alternative to building custom cards from scratch.

Allows adding custom stats via entity attributes or templates and defining shortcut buttons for presets or percentages, with extensive YAML configuration options detailed in the README.
Works with various brands like Xiaomi, Dyson, and Philips through standard fan services, supported by a community-maintained list of models for easy integration.
Available in HACS for one-click setup and supports CSS custom properties or card-mod for per-card styling, making it adaptable to different dashboard designs.
The maintainer no longer owns an air purifier and focuses on bug fixes over new features, which may slow innovation and adaptation to newer Home Assistant versions.
The Lovelace UI editor does not support configuring shortcuts and stats, forcing users to edit YAML manually for advanced customization, as noted in the 'Using the card' section.
Customizing stats and shortcuts requires understanding of entity attributes, YAML syntax, and potentially Jinja2 templates, which can be challenging for non-technical users.
