RosCard Scene Card Guide

Configure the RosCard Scene Card to trigger Home Assistant scenes and scripts directly from your Astrion Remote. Choose from immediate, delayed, or popup execution modes for flexible automation control.

Last updated: July 2026 Requires: RosCard installed Scenes & scripts

Overview

The RosCard Scene Card provides a dedicated interface for triggering Home Assistant scenes and scripts from your Astrion Remote. It supports three execution modes — Immediate, Delayed, and Popup — giving you flexible control over how your automations are activated.[reference:1]

Scene Cards are ideal for creating one-touch automation workflows like "Movie Mode", "Good Night", "Morning Routine", or any other scene you've defined in Home Assistant.

💡 Tip: Starting from Astrion firmware V1.1.1, Scene Cards have been renamed to "Scenes & Scripts" and now support script entities in addition to scenes.

Troubleshooting

Scene Card Not Showing on Astrion Remote

  • Refresh the remote: Pull down from the top of the home screen and tap Refresh.
  • Verify entity exists: Make sure the scene or script entity is available in Home Assistant.
  • Check YAML format: Ensure your configuration uses the correct syntax and indentation.
  • Update RosCard: If you're running an older version, update RosCard via HACS.

Scene Not Triggering

  • Check entity status: Verify the scene or script is available in Home Assistant.
  • Test in Home Assistant: Try triggering the scene or script directly from the Home Assistant UI to rule out connection issues.
  • Verify script exists: If using a script, ensure the script ID is correct and the script is enabled.
  • Check script mode: If the script is in single mode, it won't trigger while already running.

Delay Not Working

  • Ensure mode: delayed is set correctly in your configuration.
  • Verify the delay value is specified in seconds (e.g., delay: 30 for 30 seconds).
  • Check that your firmware version supports delayed execution (V1.1.1+ recommended).

Popup Not Showing

  • Ensure mode: popup is set correctly in your configuration.
  • Verify that your firmware version supports popup mode (V1.1.1+ recommended).
  • Check that the remote's screen is active when triggering the card.

🔧 Note: After updating RosCard to a new version, you may need to resave all your Scene Cards to refresh the binding. This is a known requirement for version updates.
