✨ New Features & 🐛 Bug Fix

New Features

Hide When Empty

The card can now completely hide itself when all entities are filtered out by visible_if. No more empty cards taking up space on your dashboard.

type: custom:strip-card
title: ""
hide_when_empty: true
entities:
  - entity: sun.sun
    name: Sun
    visible_if: "{{ float(states('sensor.temperature')) > 23 }}"

When at least one entity becomes visible again, the card reappears automatically. Available in the editor under Toggles.

Click to Pause/Resume

You can now click the card to pause and resume scrolling. Click once to stop, click again to start.

pause_on_click: true

Clicking on an entity still triggers its tap action as usual — the pause toggle only activates when you click the space between items or on the separator. Works alongside pause_on_hover. Available in the editor under Toggles.

Bug Fixes

Separator Spacing

Fixed uneven spacing around the separator character. Previously, the gap after the separator was roughly twice the size of the gap before it. The separator is now rendered as an independent element with equal spacing on both sides.

✨ New Features & 🔧 Improvements

HA 2026.4 Compatibility

Strip Card editor now fully works with Home Assistant 2026.4. All input fields, dropdowns, toggles, and entity pickers render correctly after the migration.

Redesigned Editor

The card editor has been completely redesigned with a modern, clean interface.

• Tabbed layout — Global Settings are organized into four tabs: Layout, Toggles, Sizing, and Colors. No more endless scrolling through settings.
• Entity tabs — Each entity now has its own tabs: General, Display, Colors, and Actions. Related settings are grouped together.
• Friendly names — Entity headers in the editor now show the entity's friendly name instead of the entity ID.
• Native controls — Dropdowns, text fields, and toggle switches work reliably across all HA versions.

New Features

Separator Styling

You can now customize the separator character's appearance independently from the rest of the card:

• Separator color — Any CSS color value or theme variable (e.g. var(--primary-color))
• Separator font size — Independent from the card's main font size
• Separator font weight — Choose from Light, Normal, Medium, Semi-Bold, Bold, or Black

These options are available under Global Settings → Sizing (weight & font size) and Global Settings → Colors (color).

Changed Defaults

The following defaults have been updated for a better out-of-the-box experience:

Setting	Old Default	New Default
Show icon	Off	On
Fading edges	Off	On
Badge background	Background color	Primary color
Badge value color	Text color	Primary color
Badge label color	Secondary text	Primary text

Note: These changes only affect newly created cards. Your existing cards will keep their current settings.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed entity picker not appearing in the editor
• Fixed dropdown menus not responding to clicks
• Fixed input field backgrounds blending into the card background
• New entities added via the editor no longer create unnecessary null fields in YAML

🔁 repeat_on: repeat an entity config over an array

You can now fan out a single entity configuration into multiple “virtual items” based on an array returned by a template.

• Add repeat_on to an entity entry.
• The repeat_on template should return an array (e.g., an attribute that contains a list of objects).
• The card will render one ticker item per array element.

This unlocks use cases like:

• Weather alert lists (attribute arrays)
• To-do lists
• Forecast arrays

🧩 Template variables (available when repeat_on is used)

When an entity uses repeat_on, the following variables are injected into templates:

• 🧱 item — the current array element (often an object)
• 🔢 index — the 0-based index of the item
• 🏷️ entity — the entity id of the source entity (e.g., sensor.nws_alerts)
• 📦 stateObj — the full state object for that entity

These variables can be used in:

• visible_if
• value_template
• name
• unit
• Color fields (*_color, badge_*), and icon

📨 Message if template is empty

• you can use empty_message in case your template may returns null for a while.

👁️ Visibility semantics

• ✅ visible_if is evaluated per item (using item, index, etc.).
• 🚫 If repeat_on returns undefined, null, false, an empty string, or an empty array, the entity produces no items (it will not be visible).

🛠️ Editor

• 🧰 Added a new UI field in the entity editor:

  • “Repeat on (template returns array)”

✅ Backwards compatibility

• Existing configurations without repeat_on continue to behave as before.
• repeat_on is optional; when omitted, the entity renders as a single item.
