Usage

Septic Card is used to display septic tank monitoring data in the Home Assistant interface.

The cards can be added to Home Assistant dashboards using standard methods: through the visual editor (UI) or directly via Lovelace YAML configuration.

The following interface elements are available as part of the project:

  • Septic Cistern Card (custom:septic-cistern-card)

  • Septic Tile Card (custom:septic-tile-card)

  • Septic Badge (custom:septic-badge)

Using the UI (Visual editor)

Adding a card via the visual editor is suitable for most users and does not require manual editing of YAML files.

  1. Open any dashboard in Home Assistant.

  2. Click Edit dashboard.

  3. Select Add card.

  4. Choose Manual card.

  5. Paste the card configuration and save the changes.

Example configuration:

type: custom:septic-cistern-card
entities:
  level: uroven_zhidkosti_septika
  temp: temperatura_septika
  pressure: davlenie_septika
  x_level: kriticheskii_uroven_septika
  exceeds_x_level: prevyshen_kriticheskii_uroven_septika
  error_name: oshibka_septika

Using YAML (Raw configuration)

If Home Assistant dashboards are configured in YAML mode, the card configuration must be added directly to the view definition.

Example dashboard configuration:

views:
  - title: Home
    cards:
      - type: custom:septic-cistern-card
        entities:
          level: uroven_zhidkosti_septika
          temp: temperatura_septika
          pressure: davlenie_septika
          x_level: kriticheskii_uroven_septika
          exceeds_x_level: prevyshen_kriticheskii_uroven_septika
          error_name: oshibka_septika

After saving the configuration, the card appears on the dashboard automatically.
