Decision Strip Card

Decision Strip Card

custom:adaptive-cover-pro-decision-card

The Decision Strip card renders just the decision pipeline for a single Adaptive Cover Pro instance β€” the same handler trace the Panel Card shows inline, but on its own, with nothing else around it. Reach for it when you want to see why the integration landed on a position without giving up the dashboard real estate the full panel needs.

It is one of the five cards in the Adaptive Cover Pro Card bundle; installing the bundle once registers all five.


What it shows

Every pipeline handler in priority order, each marked matched or skipped, with the winning handler highlighted and its proposed position called out. When the integration is throttling consecutive adjustments, the same live countdown banner the panel card uses appears here too. Above the row grid, an optional plain-English summary walks the matched handlers in priority order so the winner reads last (e.g. Solar Tracking 100% β†’ Custom Position #1 60% floor β†’ Manual Override 60%).

The card declares its own grid sizing, so the Home Assistant Sections view places and resizes it correctly without manual tuning.


Configuration

Drop the card onto a dashboard and the visual editor walks you through it: a dropdown of your Adaptive Cover Pro config entries, an optional header field, and toggles for compact mode, hiding inactive handlers, and the decision summary. Or edit YAML directly:

type: custom:adaptive-cover-pro-decision-card
entry_id: YOUR_CONFIG_ENTRY_ID           # Settings β†’ Devices & Services β†’ click the ACP instance β†’ URL bar
title: Living Room β€” why?                 # optional; header rendered above the strip
compact: false                           # optional; tighter row layout (also forces hide_inactive_handlers on)
hide_inactive_handlers: false            # optional; show only the winner and actively matched handlers
show_decision_summary: true              # optional; plain-English "why this position?" line above the grid
Option Default Effect
entry_id (required) The Adaptive Cover Pro config entry to read.
title (none) Optional header rendered above the strip in the card's ha-card. Omit for a header-less strip.
compact false Tighter row layout for dense dashboards. Forces hide_inactive_handlers on.
hide_inactive_handlers false Collapse the trace to just the winner and the handlers currently matched.
show_decision_summary true Render the plain-English summary line above the row grid. Set false to hide it.
tooltips enabled Card-owned floating tooltip behaviour, shared with the other cards. See Tooltips.

Finding your entry_id

Settings β†’ Devices & Services β†’ click the Adaptive Cover Pro instance β†’ copy the ID from the browser URL bar. The visual editor's dropdown fills this in for you.
