Air Purifier card for Home Assistant Lovelace UI
By default, the Home Assistant does not provide any card for controlling air purifiers. This card displays the state and allows to control your air purifier.
💡 Tip: If you like this project and want to get some stickers and postcards, consider giving me a tip for the time I spent building this project:
This card is available in HACS (Home Assistant Community Store).
Just search for Purifier Card
in the plugins tab.
-
Download
purifier-card.js
file from the latest-release. -
Put
purifier-card.js
file into yourconfig/www
folder. -
Add a reference to
purifier-card.js
in Lovelace. There's two way to do that:-
Using UI: Configuration → Lovelace Dashboards → Resources → Click Plus button → Set Url as
/local/purifier-card.js
→ Set Resource type asJavaScript Module
. -
Using YAML: Add the following code to
lovelace
section.resources: - url: /local/purifier-card.js type: module
-
-
Add
custom:purifier-card
to Lovelace UI as any other card (using either editor or YAML configuration).
This card can be configured using Lovelace UI editor.
- In Lovelace UI, click 3 dots in top left corner.
- Click Configure UI.
- Click Plus button to add a new card.
- Find Custom: Purifier Card in the list.
- Choose
entity
. - Now you should see the preview of the card!
Sorry, no support for shortcuts
and stats
in visual config yet.

I've added an animation for this card to make it alive:
How did I make this animation? It's a long story…
- I took original gif file from here.
- Then I tweaked image levels to make the background black and purifier white.
- Then I inverted colors on the gif.
- Then I've split the gif by frame.
- Then I removed the background of the image frame by frame using remove.bg.
- Then I upscaled each of those images using icons8.com/upscaler.
- Then I put up all of those images back in a single gif.
- Profit!
Archive with images from all of these steps can be found here.

This card relies on basic fan services, like toggle
, turn_on
, turn_off
, etc. It should work with any air purifier, however I can physically test it only with my own purifier.
