In a world where dashboards ruled with an iron grip and vehicle stats were always one step ahead, one coder dared to defy the odds. The year was 2024. Cities were neon jungles, and dashboard warriors drove the streets in vehicles enhanced by the Ultra Vehicle Card—a rogue piece of tech with a mind of its own.

It started as a simple tool, just another card in the endless sea of Home Assistant add-ons. But soon, it became a force of chaos. Layouts would shift without warning, icons would glitch out, and sometimes, it would even refuse to show your mileage in numbers anyone could understand.

But then came The Coder. He was a lone wolf, living by his own rules, coding by night and fixing bugs by dawn. Armed with nothing but sheer determination, a half-drunk can of Dr Pepper, and a keyboard that sounded like gunfire when he typed, he knew he had to take control. The mission? Tame the Ultra Vehicle Card.

The Coder dove into the digital abyss, battling error messages, slaying rogue bugs, and dodging lines of code like bullets in a warehouse shootout. As he typed furiously, the card began to obey, surrendering its layout secrets and revealing new features like a weaponized arsenal.

When the smoke cleared, the Ultra Vehicle Card had been reprogrammed. It now served the people, with smoother layouts, powerful state dropdowns, and the ability to speak fluent Norwegian. The Coder tossed his keyboard aside, looked into the camera, and said, “Mission accomplished.”

Changelog:

  • Layout Selection:

Choose between the original single column and the all-new double column view—because sometimes, more is more.

  • Icon Grid State Dropdown:

Default Mode: Icons change between on and off like a well-timed explosion.

Options Mode: Select an entity option and watch the icons react like a hero facing his destiny.

Attributes Mode: Use attributes to match values and control inactive or active states—precision like a laser-guided rocket.

  • Template Mode (Beta): Add Jinja2 templates, but beware, this is uncharted territory. May summon geese or cause your dashboard to go nuclear.
  • Norwegian Language Support: Now your dashboard can scream action movie commands in Norsk. “Kom igjen!”
  • Fixed Mileage/Number Display: No more cryptic hieroglyphics—your numbers are back in action, clear as a Schwarzenegger one-liner.
    -Various Bugs Squashed: We found them, we hunted them down, and we eliminated them like a villain at the end of a high-speed chase.

Ultra Vehicle Card: Coming soon to a dashboard near you.
