⚠️ Work in Progress

LCARdS is a hobby project, not a fully commissioned Starfleet product — expect the occasional tribble.

Documentation is under continuous revision - it may not be fully complete and/or accurate to the current build of the project. Please open an issue if you find any issues.

What is LCARdS?

Build Star Trek LCARS-style dashboards in Home Assistant LCARdS brings many LCARS-style controls that can you can use to create interesting and interactive dashboards.

LCARdS originates from, and supersedes, the CB-LCARS project. It is designed to accompany the HA-LCARS theme.

What Makes It Different

LCARdS Cards share a common set of core features, allowing for consistent features and interactivity across the system.

State-aware styling — cards change colour and style in response to HA entity state, individually or in coordinated groups via the Rules Engine.

Templates everywhere — many configuration fields accept entity state, attributes, theme tokens, data source values, JavaScript expressions, or Jinja2. Learn more →

Alert Mode — respond to alert conditions by shifting the entire dashboard colour palette, play sounds, and activate an overlay card. Learn more →

Animations — Anime.js v4 is built in; animate any element in response to interactions or entity state changes. Learn more →

Data Sources — subscribe to entities, buffer history, run processing pipelines (moving averages, min/max), and use the results in any card field or chart. Learn more →

Next Steps

→ Installation — install via HACS in under a minute
