This card allows you to convert any vertical stack into a pop-up. Each pop-up is hidden by default and can be opened by targeting its link (e.g. '#pop-up-name'
), with any card that supports the navigate
action, or with the horizontal buttons stack that is included.
Important
This card must be placed within a vertical stack card at the topmost position to function properly. To avoid misalignment with your view, place vertical stacks/pop-ups after all other dashboard cards. It should be called from the same view to work.
How to create a pop-up in the editor
- To add a pop-up you first need to add a
Vertical stack
card to your dashboard. - This
Vertical stack
must be after all your other cards in your view order and before your horizontal buttons stack if you have one. In a section view type it can be placed anywhere. - Now add a
Bubble Card
with thePop-up
type. - Just fill in the
Hash
input and the ones you need.
You can also watch this step by step video.
Tip
This feature allows you to open a pop-up based on the state of any entity, for example, you can open a "Security" pop-up with a camera when a person is in front of your house. You can also create a toggle helper (input_boolean) and trigger its opening/closing in an automation.
Opening a pop-up when a binary_sensor
is on
type: custom:bubble-card
card_type: pop-up
hash: '#kitchen'
name: Security
icon: mdi:video
trigger_entity: binary_sensor.front_door_motion
trigger_state: 'on'
trigger_close: true
They are many ways to close a pop-up. For instance, you can swipe from the pop-up header to the bottom, by doing a long swipe inside the pop-up to the bottom, by pressing Escape on desktop, by removing the hash in the URL or by simply pressing the close button.
If you notice that pop-up content appears upon page load, consider installing this fix as an additional module.
Installation
You can do this by adding bubble-pop-up-fix.js
to your configuration.yaml
like so:
frontend:
extra_module_url:
- /hacsfiles/Bubble-Card/bubble-pop-up-fix.js
If you didn't install it with HACS, change the path accordingly. Then, clear your browser cache.
For Android Home Assistant Companion App users, you can close the app, then clear the app cache. If it's still not working, you can close and restart the app again.
For iOS Home Assistant Companion App users, you can go to your Home Assistant settings, then navigate to Companion App > Debug > Clear Frontend Cache (or something similar), then refresh the page or restart the app.
For previous users of the Optimized mode, you will need to replace your type: custom:bubble-pop-up
with this in YAML mode:

Tip
-
The button switch is the default one. By default, it toggles an entity and its background color changes based on the entity’s state or the color of a light.
-
The button slider can control the brightness of a light, the volume of a media player, the position of a cover, and it also supports input numbers. Its background color can change based on the color of a light.
-
The button state is perfect for displaying information from a sensor or any entity. When you press it, it will show the "More info" panel of the entity. Its background color does not change.
-
The button name is the only one that doesn't need an entity and allows you to display a short text, a name or a title. You can also add some actions to it. Its background color does not change.

This card is here to fill an empty column. This is useful if you have a horizontal-stack
in your pop-up with only one card. Take a look at the bottom right corner of this screenshot to (not) see it.
This card has no options and doesn’t support styling, though it does support layout options for HA sections.
An empty column in an horizontal stack
type: horizontal-stack
cards:
- type: custom:bubble-card
card_type: button
...
- type: custom:bubble-card

In every card that supports that option, you can add sub-buttons to customize your cards even more. You can, for exemple, create a button that can control a vacuum, a weather card, or almost anything that you can come up with. These sub-buttons support the tap actions and most of the button options.

Bubble Card fully supports the Home Assistant section view, you can change the card layout to make the card bigger and also change the number of columns or rows the card should occupy in your section view (only on the cards that support that option). These layouts are also supported in all other view types.

---|---|
normal |
The regular layout (not optimized for the section view) |
large |
A larger layout (optimized for the section view) |
large-2-rows |

You can add custom styles in the editor or by adding styles: |
in YAML without using card-mod which allows you to modify the CSS style of all the cards.
Tip
To understand which style classes can be modified, you can take a look at the src/cards
folder in this repository. In each card folder, you will find a file named styles.ts
. These files contain all the applied styles.
You can also find a lot of examples on the Home Assistant forum by doing a bit of searching.
The Bubble theme for Home Assistant (like on the screenshots) can be found here.
Important
Please note that you will have to add !important;
to some CSS styles that are already defined (see examples below).
Changing the font size of any Bubble Card
styles: |
* {
font-size: 16px !important;
}

}
Changing the background color of a button
styles: |
.bubble-button-card-container {
background: rgba(12,120,50,0.5) !important;
}
To change the color when it's on
take a look at the style templates below.
Changing the color of a button slider
styles: |
.bubble-range-fill {
background: rgba(79, 69, 87, 1) !important;
opacity: 1 !important;
}

styles: |
.bubble-line {
background: var(--primary-text-color);
opacity: 0.1;
}
Changing the color of an icon

height: 48px !important;
min-width: 48px !important;
}
Changing the background color of the second sub-button
styles: |
.bubble-sub-button-2 {

}
Changing the size of an icon
For the main icon.
styles: |

--mdc-icon-size: 26px !important;
}
For the sub-button icons.
styles: |
.bubble-sub-button-icon {
--mdc-icon-size: 26px !important;
}
Using a picture rather than an icon in a sub button
sub_button:
- icon: none
styles: |-
.bubble-sub-button-1 {
background-image: url("/local/pictures/your_picture.jpg");
background-size: cover;
}
Just upload this picture in a “pictures” folder (or the name you want) in the Home Assistant “www” folder.

Bubble Card doesn’t support Jinja templates but advanced users can add templates in JS directly in their custom styles. For example, this allows you to dynamically change an icon, the texts or the colors of an element, to show or hide an element conditionally (like a sub-button), or almost anything based on a state, an attribute and more.
Tip
More information about JS templates here. My advice is to always take a look at your browser console to be sure that everything is working correctly.
Variables
You have access to these variables in most cards:
-
state
will return the state of your definedentity
. -
entity
will return your entity you defined likeswitch.test
in this example. -
icon
can be used like this to change the iconicon.setAttribute("icon", "mdi:lightbulb")
. -
subButtonIcon[0]
can be used like this to change the first sub-button iconsubButtonIcon[0].setAttribute("icon", "mdi:lightbulb")
,[0]
is the first sub-button icon,[1]
the second... -
card
will return the card element in the DOM. -
hass
is an advanced variable that allows you even more control, for example you can return the state oflight.kitchen
like thishass.states['light.kitchen'].state
or an attribute like thishass.states[entity].attributes.brightness
. -
this
will return a lot of usefull informations about your setup and dashboard, only use this if you know what you are doing.
Functions (getWeatherIcon
)
You have access to all the global JS functions, but you have also access to:
-
getWeatherIcon
can be used to return a weather icon based on a state that return the weather. For example, you can can do this${subButtonIcon[2].setAttribute("icon", getWeatherIcon(hass.states['sensor.weather_forecast_daily'].attributes.forecast[0]?.condition))}
to change the third sub-button icon to today's weather icon,.forecast[1]?.condition
is for tomorrow...You will have to create a template sensor for that. Here is what you can add in your
configuration.yaml
:- trigger: - platform: time_pattern hours: /2 action: - service: weather.get_forecasts data: type: daily target: entity_id: weather.home response_variable: daily sensor: - name: Weather Forecast Daily unique_id: weather_forecast_daily state: "{{ now().isoformat() }}" attributes: forecast: "{{ daily['weather.home'].forecast }}"
Changing the background color of a button that is red when it's off
and green when it's on
type: custom:bubble-card
card_type: button
entity: switch.test
name: Test
styles: |
.bubble-button-background {
opacity: 1 !important;
background-color: ${state === 'on' ? 'blue' : 'red'} !important;
}
Changing the background color of a button based on an entity for the horizontal buttons stack
styles: |
.kitchen > .color-background {
background-color: ${hass.states['light.kitchen'].state === 'on' ? 'blue' : 'red'} !important;
}
Showing/Hiding a sub-button conditionally
This one is showing the first sub-button only when my vacuum is stuck.
styles: |
.bubble-sub-button-1 {
display: ${hass.states['vacuum.downstairs'].state === 'error' ? '' : 'none'} !important;
}
This one is showing a sub-button when the battery is below 10%. Usefull with a sub-button that shows "Low battery".
styles: |
.bubble-sub-button-1 {
display: ${hass.states['vacuum.downstairs'].attributes.battery_level <= 10 ? '' : 'none'} !important;
}
Changing an icon or sub-button icon conditionally
This one is changing a button icon only when a vacuum is stuck.
styles: |
${icon.setAttribute("icon", hass.states['vacuum.downstairs'].state === 'error' ? 'mdi:alert' : 'mdi:robot-vacuum')}
This one is changing the first sub-button icon only when a vacuum is stuck.
styles: |
${subButtonIcon[0].setAttribute("icon", hass.states['vacuum.downstairs'].state === 'error' ? 'mdi:alert' : 'mdi:robot-vacuum')}
Changing an icon or sub-button icon color conditionally
This one is changing a button icon color based on its state.
styles: |
.bubble-icon {
color: ${hass.states['light.your_light'].state === 'on' ? 'green' : 'red'} !important;
}
This one is changing a sub-button icon color based on its state. .bubble-sub-button-1
is the first sub-button, replace 1
if you want to change another sub-button icon.
styles: |
.bubble-sub-button-1 > ha-icon {
color: ${hass.states['light.your_light'].state === 'on' ? 'green' : 'red'} !important;
}
Animating a fan icon conditionally
This one is rotating a button icon when a fan is on
.
styles: |-
.bubble-icon {
animation: ${hass.states['fan.you_fan'].state === 'on' ? 'slow-rotate 2s linear infinite' : ''};
}
@keyframes slow-rotate {
0% { transform: rotate(0deg); }
100% { transform: rotate(360deg); }
}
Templating texts (like name or state)
This one is changing a button name/state with "It's currently sunny" depending on your weather.
styles: |
${card.querySelector('.bubble-name').innerText = "It's currently " + hass.states['weather.home'].state}
If you want to template the state (.bubble-state
) don't toggle show_state: true
just toggle show_attribute: true
without any attribute.
Advanced example: Changing the color of a sub-button when a pop-up is open
styles: |
${window.addEventListener('location-changed', () => {
card.querySelector('.bubble-sub-button-1').style.backgroundColor = this.location.href.includes('#kitchen') ? 'blue' : '';
})}
Advanced example: Templating a separator name based on a state translated to your language
You can use hass.formatEntityState(state)
to transtale a state and hass.formatEntityAttributeValue(state, "attribute")
to translate an attribute.
This one is changing the name and the icon based on the weather, "Nuageux" means "Cloudy" in French.
type: custom:bubble-card
card_type: separator
icon: mdi:weather-cloudy
sub_button:
- entity: sensor.outside_temperature
icon: mdi:thermometer
name: Temperature
show_state: true
show_background: false
styles: >
.bubble-line {
background: white;
opacity: 1;
}
${card.querySelector('.bubble-name').innerText =
hass.formatEntityState(hass.states['weather.maison'])}
${icon.setAttribute("icon",
getWeatherIcon(hass.states['weather.maison'].state))}
- Kiosk mode, but this is fixed in Kiosk mode v6.0.1
Feel free to open an issue if something is not working as expected.
