Bubble Card v1.6.3

The war against bugs and instability continues 🦄

v1.6.3

Hi everyone! I'm back with a fast release that brings you some new features and bug fixes. Cheers 🍻

💡 New features

• Close pop-up on click or tap: You can now choose to close them automatically after any interaction. Just use the new toggle in the pop-up editor to try that. The default value is close_on_click: false. Thanks for the idea @PineappleEmperor!
• Column fix: This feature is for those who have experienced some issues with the dashboard layout, such as empty columns or misaligned cards. You can apply a fix that restores the behavior of the previous versions by adding column_fix: true in YAML to the first Bubble Card on your dashboard. Then refresh the page.

✔️ Bug fixes and optimizations

• Pop-up issues: I have also fixed a lot of bugs related to the pop-ups. They should work flawlessly now.
• Reload loop issue: There is no more reload at all now.
• Column fix: More info in the new features section.

And if you skipped the v1.6.1/2 release, please read the following changelog.

v1.6.1 and v1.6.2 - I had to skip a version for the HACS fix

• I should have fixed the issue where Bubble Card was missing in HACS for some users! #259
• Fixed a message that was spamming the developer console. #278
• The version number shown in the editor is 1.6.1, but it's actually the v1.6.2.

And if you skipped the v1.6.0 initial release, please read the following changelog.

v1.6.0

Happy New Year everyone! 🍻

I’m excited to announce that the v1.6.0 stable update of Bubble Card is finally here! This update is all about making Bubble Card work the way it should. I’ve worked really hard to fix almost all known bugs that were affecting Bubble Card’s performance, usability and stability.

I also want to share this discovery: Since the recent updates of Home Assistant (I’m not sure which one exactly), the optimized mode for pop-ups has become obsolete. This is because the regular mode is now exactly as efficient, which greatly simplifies things for both new and current users. I will keep the optimized mode in Bubble Card for now, but it will probably be removed in the future.

This update represents a significant overhaul of the Bubble Card codebase. A majority of the code has been refactored and rewritten, which was a substantial and time-consuming task. This is the primary reason for the delay in releasing this version. However, the payoff is considerable: Bubble Card run smoother on low-end devices but also enhances performance and stability across all devices. The code is also much more maintainable for everyone and for me. Your patience and support have been crucial in this process. A big thank you to all the beta testers for their crucial role in this update!

Can't wait to hear what you think! And remember, a bug-free software is like a unicorn, some say it doesn't exist, but with this update, we're one step closer to finding it!

And here is the biggest Bubble Card changelog of all times:

✔️ Bug fixes and optimizations

• Empty columns: Fixed the issue of empty columns in the dashboard caused by hidden pop-ups on some setups.
• Tap actions: All tap actions are now (finally) functioning correctly.
• Icon glitch: Fixed the icon glitch that occurred when a slider was moving on Safari and iOS.
• Entity picture: Corrected the entity picture when set as an icon. E.g., icon: /local/image.jpg. Fixed the entity picture (album cover) of a media player. If an icon is defined, it will now switch automatically.
• Line opacity: Increased the line opacity in the separator for better visibility.
• Reload UI issue: Resolved the ‘Reload UI’ issue.
• Errors with some cards: Fixed the compatibility errors with some cards when the pop-ups were closed.
• Cameras inside pop-ups: Cameras inside pop-ups now load faster after a first initialization.
• Style adjustments: Made some minor style adjustments for smaller devices.
• Pop-ups disappearing: Fixed the issue where pop-ups would disappear when the connection was lost or on a mobile device coming out of sleep mode.
• Pop-ups not opening: Fixed the pop-ups not opening in some cases.
• Pop-ups still showing: Fixed the pop-ups still showing when the editor was closed.
• Scrolling inside a pop-up: Fixed when scrolling inside a pop-up and that the content behind it was scrolling too.
• Top gradient: Fixed the top gradient for pop-ups without an entity.
• Significant optimizations of the editor: Fixed all issues related to entering editor mode, which is also faster now!
• Improved the initialization of pop-ups in regular mode: Added a new feature that will automatically reorganize the frontend resources to put Bubble Card at the first position if it's not already the case, this should improve the pop-ups initialization in regular mode for people with a lot of custom cards. Just reboot Home Assistant after the update to automatically get this optimization.
• Code refactoring: Refactored the entire code, and it’s much smoother on low-end devices.
• Various other fixes: Fixed a minor error that was displayed in the Chrome console. Fixed the issue "Popup button randomly stops working" #258. Fixed the issue "Bubble Card log spamming during startup: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'entity_id’)" #255.

💡 New features

• Highlight the current hash / view: Added an option to highlight the current hash / view in the horizontal buttons stack with a soft animation. Thank you @Winor for helping me!
• Haptic feedback: Haptic feedback has been added for the Home Assistant companion app users (the slider button is the coolest one).
• Show or hide the state of covers: You now have the ability to show or hide the state of covers (default is now show_state: false).

Thank you once again for your continued support!

Bubble Card v1.6.0-beta.5

The war against bugs and instability continues 🦄

Happy New Year everyone! 🍻

I’m back at work! First, I want to share this discovery. Since the recent updates of Home Assistant (I’m not sure which one exactly), the optimized mode for pop-ups has become obsolete. This is because the regular mode is now exactly as efficient, which greatly simplifies things for both new and current users. I will keep the optimized mode in Bubble Card for now, but it will probably be removed in the future.

In addition, I’ve been working tirelessly on bug fixes and numerous optimizations to further enhance the experience. I hope that this version will be (once again) the perfect candidate to become the stable 1.6.0 version.

Looking forward to an amazing year ahead with more enhancements and features. Stay tuned!

v1.6.0-beta.5 :

• The "Optimized mode" is no longer necessary in the latest releases of HA!
• Everything has been optimized for the latest version of HA.
• The custom tap actions have been permanently fixed!
• Significant optimizations of the editor.
• Pop-ups are now faster (once again).
• Various issues have been resolved.
• Further overall optimizations have been made.

v1.6.0-beta.4 :

Hi again everyone! I've fixed the issue with the editor for the pop-ups in optimized mode and I've also added a new feature that will automatically reorganize the frontend resources to put Bubble Card at the first position if it's not already the case, this should improve the pop-ups initialization in regular mode for people with a lot of custom cards. Just restart Home Assistant after this update to see the magic happen!

This one is (again) the candidate for the stable 1.6.0 version! 🤞

I’m looking forward to hearing your feedback, good or bad, on this update. Please share your thoughts and opinions here 🍻

✔️ Bug fixes and optimizations

• Fixed the issue with the editor for the pop-ups in optimized mode.
• Improved the initialization of pop-ups in regular mode for people with a lot of custom cards.

v1.6.0-beta.3 :

Hi everyone! I’ve dedicated nearly all of my free time to bring you this release, which I hope will be the candidate for the stable 1.6.0 version! This update introduces numerous enhancements, including fixes and optimizations for the editor, faster pop-ups, and A LOT of other fixes.

Thank you for your continued support and I can’t wait to hear your feedback 🍻

✔️ Bug fixes

• Removed the back_open option. It now behaves as if set to true because it was not functioning as expected when set to false.
• The cache is now cleared on all devices after every update. If you are using bubble-pop-up.js, you still need to change the version number in your configuration.yaml before updating (to match the new version you are updating to).
• Numerous optimizations have been made for iOS users.
• The pop-ups now operate more quickly. I've put a lot of work into this!
• Custom styles also load more quickly now.
• Fixed all issues related to entering editor mode, which is also faster now! (Edit: There is still an issue for Bubble Pop-up users, damn!)
• Fixed a minor error that was displayed in the Chrome console.
• Fixed the issue "Popup button randomly stops working" #258.
• Fixed the issue "Bubble Card log spamming during startup: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'entity_id’)" #255.
• Cleaned up the code a bit.
• Various other fixes have been implemented.

v1.6.0-beta.2 :

Hi! Here is a new update that should fix all the new issues introduced in v1.6.0-beta.1. This new version was a huge challenge for me, as it involved a complete overhaul of the entire code structure. However, I sincerely hope that everything is working flawlessly now!

And given the uncertainty of getting another version out before the holidays, I’d like to take this opportunity to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you! 🎄

✔️ Bug fixes

• Fixed "bg_color, bg_opacity don't work" #246
• Fixed? "bubble card error android webiew" #247
• This one should be definitely fixed "Reload issue still present on 1.6.0-1 beta" #248
• This one too 🤞 "Beta v1.6 Won't load on Android Companion App" #252
• This one too? "Scrolling is not smooth on Android" #253

There is now a small issue with this fix from v1.6.0-beta.1 (but it works after a refresh):

• Fixed the pop-ups background color that was not changing when switching themes.

Hi! Here is a new update that should fix all the new issues introduced in v1.6.0-beta.1. This new version was a huge challenge for me, as it involved a complete overhaul of the entire code structure. However, I sincerely hope that everything is working flawlessly now!

And given the uncertainty of getting another version out before the holidays, I’d like to take this opportunity to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you! 🎄

✔️ Bug fixes

• Fixed "bg_color, bg_opacity don't work" #246
• Fixed? "bubble card error android webiew" #247
• This one should be definitely fixed "Reload issue still present on 1.6.0-1 beta" #248
• This one too 🤞 "Beta v1.6 Won't load on Android Companion App" #252
• This one too? "Scrolling is not smooth on Android" #253

There is now a small issue with this fix from v1.6.0-beta.1 (but it works after a refresh):

• Fixed the pop-ups background color that was not changing when switching themes.

v1.6.0-beta.1 :

Hello! I’m excited to announce that the v1.6.0 update of Bubble Card is finally here! This update is all about making Bubble Card work the way it should. I’ve worked really hard to fix almost all known bugs that were affecting Bubble Card’s performance, usability and stability.

In this update, I also made a major change. The entire code has been refactored, which makes Bubble Card run smoother on low-end devices and easier for me (and everyone) to maintain!

Can’t wait to hear what you think! And remember, a bug-free software is like a unicorn, some say it doesn’t exist, but with this update, we’re one step closer to finding it!

And here is the biggest Bubble Card changelog of all times:

✔️ Bug fixes

• Fixed the issue of empty columns in the dashboard caused by hidden pop-ups.
• All tap actions on iOS are now functioning correctly.
• Fixed the icon glitch that occurred when a slider was moving on Safari and iOS.
• Corrected the entity picture when set as an icon. E.g., icon: /local/image.jpg.
• Fixed the entity picture (album cover) of a media player. If an icon is defined, it will now switch automatically.
• Increased the line opacity in the separator for better visibility.
• Resolved the ‘Reload UI’ issue.
• Fixed all errors with some cards when the pop-ups were closed.
• Cameras inside pop-ups now load faster.
• Made some minor style adjustments for smaller devices.
• Fixed the issue where pop-ups would disappear when the connection was lost or on a mobile device coming out of sleep mode.
• Improved pop-ups in regular mode.
• Fixed the pop-ups not opening in some cases.
• Fixed the pop-ups still showing when the editor was closed.
• Fixed the pop-ups background color for some custom themes.
• Fixed the pop-ups background color that was not changing when switching themes.
• Fixed when scrolling inside a pop-up and that the content behind it was scrolling too.
• Fixed the top gradient for pop-ups without an entity.
• Refactored the entire code, and it’s much smoother on low-end devices.

💡 New features

• Haptic feedback has been added for the HA companion app users (the slider button is the coolest one).
• Added an option to highlight the current hash / view in the horizontal buttons stack with a soft animation. Thank you @Winor for helping me!
• You now have the ability to show or hide the state of covers (default is show_state: false).

Thank you once again for your continued support!

Bubble Card v1.5.3

Bubble Card pop-ups now work as a frontend module!

v1.5.3 :

Fixed an issue for users from 1.5.0 or 1.5.1 in Regular mode with this console error:
Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'define' on 'CustomElementRegistry': the name "bubble-pop-up" has already been used with this registry

v1.5.2 and v1.5.3 : A new breaking change for some users 👀 Please read this.

I have changed the way Bubble Card works a bit, but it’s much simpler and clearer for new users, and for everyone!

bubble-pop-up.js has become completely optional and basically it’s like a step back, the pop-ups are back in custom:bubble-card for new users (what I called the Regular mode in the GUI), while keeping the possibility to use the standalone custom:bubble-pop-up as a module for more advanced users who want to optimize the initialization of the pop-ups as much as possible (Optimized mode).

This does not change anything for current installations in Optimized mode, the only difference is that the module_installed: true variable has been removed because it caused more problems than it solved.

BREAKING CHANGE: However, for existing users from 1.5.0 or 1.5.1 who want to stay with the Regular mode, they will have this error custom element doesn't exist: bubble-pop-up and will have to change their pop-ups back to:

type: vertical-stack
cards:
  - type: custom:bubble-card
    card_type: pop-up

And I’m really sorry about that, but I was totally overthinking the thing and I prefer to go back before going too far in a wrong way.

Now the installation is pretty basic, install Bubble Card from HACS and if you want the Optimized mode add this in your configuration.yaml:

frontend:
  extra_module_url:
    - /hacsfiles/Bubble-Card/bubble-pop-up.js?v=1.5.2

Restart Home Assistant and clear the cache if needed, you should now see Bubble Pop-up appear in the card picker, which corresponds to the Optimized mode.

Now, this will be the end of my optimizations updates for a moment. For the next update I'm planning to add a lot more possibilities for customizing the buttons, with support for new devices! Finally new features, yay!

I really hope that I succeed in clarifying everything in this update 🤞

And I almost forgot to say that Bubble Card is now officially available on the HACS repository! That doesn’t change anything for existing users but I wanted to say it! 🍻

v1.5.1 : Finally an easier installation / update!

Hi! I apologize for the delay, it was a bit more complicated than what I thought but I have finally corrected the configuration issues in the new version 🤞

From now on, bubble-pop-up.js will automatically install as a frontend resource. This means that there is no longer a need to modify the configuration for it to work 'out of the box'!

Important : The instructions changed a bit for those who prefer to install it as a module, everything is explained here.

I’m really looking forward for your feedback (as always)!

v1.5.0 : First breaking change! Thank you for reading through.

Hi everyone! This update brings the most significant performance improvement since the creation of Bubble Card. In addition, the content of the pop-ups is finally removed from the DOM when it is closed. This means that the cameras are stopped when you close a pop-up, yes I've finally done it 🥳

I'm personally surprised by the difference that this version makes on my config, and it has been tested on almost all browsers!

I’ve also had to introduce the first breaking change. Now, if you want to use a pop-up, you’ll need to install bubble-pop-up.js as an extra module (it's included in this release, more info below).

Along with this change, the pop-up now have a new type custom: bubble-pop-up, this is the real breaking change. If you already have pop-ups configured, you’ll need to make the change for each one, either in YAML or in the GUI editor. Once the change is made on the type, your dashboard will return to how it was before (but better, faster, stronger).

This version will finally allow me to move on to adding new features now that the optimization part is finally completed! I’m really excited about the new possibilities this opens up for future development.

I can't wait for your feedback!

Installation

• In your configuration.yaml, add the following under frontend :

frontend:
  extra_module_url:
    - /hacsfiles/Bubble-Card/bubble-pop-up.js

• Install / Update Bubble Card.
• Restart Home Assistant.
• You will now have Bubble Pop-up and Bubble Card in your card picker in the editor.
• For previous users: Replace all your card-type:pop-up to use type: custom:bubble-pop-up.

Here is how a pop-up looks like in YAML now :

type: vertical-stack
cards:
  - type: custom:bubble-pop-up
    hash: '#pop-up-name'

💡 New features

• You can now change the default arrow icons in a cover card, thanks to @tj57 ! #160
• Cameras inside pop-ups are now stopped when you close it. Finally! #85

✔️ Fixes

• Finally fixed the stability / performance issues on all browsers! #152
• The GUI editor has also been extensively optimized.
• Fixed the picture icon that was not changing (e.g. in a media_player button slider).

Thank you once again for your continued support!
