Overview

The RosCard Statistics Card provides a dedicated monitoring interface for tracking device status on your Astrion Remote. Unlike other RosCard cards that control devices, the Statistics Card is designed to monitor and display the state of multiple devices in a single view.

The Statistics Card supports tracking of Lights, Switches, and Climate devices, displaying real-time counts of active devices in any zone or room. It's perfect for getting a quick overview of your smart home's status.

💡 Tip: The Statistics Card is read-only — it displays device states but does not allow toggling. For device control, use the dedicated Light Card, Switch Card, or Climate Card.

No Data Displayed

  • Verify entities exist: Ensure you have lights, switches, or climate entities in Home Assistant.
  • Check device_types: Verify the correct device types are enabled in your configuration.
  • Wait for update: The card may take a moment to populate data after initial configuration.
  • Restart Home Assistant: If issues persist, try restarting Home Assistant.

Incorrect Device Counts

  • Verify that the entities in Home Assistant are correctly categorized as light, switch, or climate.
  • Check for duplicate or hidden entities that may affect counts.
  • Refresh the card view on your Astrion Remote.

Climate Data Not Showing

  • Ensure climate: true is set in your configuration.
  • Verify you have climate entities in Home Assistant.
