show_empty | bool | Optional | true | Set to false to hide card when no items |
show_create_task | bool | Optional | false | Set to true to show ability to add a task in Grocy directly from the card. Due date must be in format yyyy-mm-dd, e.g. 2022-01-31. When due date is empty, task has no due date. |
browser_mod | bool | Optional | false | Set to true if you have installed browser_mod v2 and want feedback when tracking or adding a task, in the form of a native toast bar. |
show_overflow | bool | Optional | false | When true, replaces the 'Look in Grocy for X more items' text with a 'Show X more' button that toggles an overflow area. |
show_divider | bool | Optional | false | When true, shows a divider between each task. Uses the CSS variable entities-divider-color and falls back on divider-color from your theme. |
use_icons | bool | Optional | When null, uses icons for chores/tasks only when chore_icon or task_icon is set. When true, forces defaults if chore_icon /task_icon is not set. When false, overrides chore_icon /task_icon and always uses text buttons. | |
task_icon | string | Optional | Sets the icon used on Tasks. Replaces the text. Set use_icons to true and don't use this parameter to use default icon. | |
task_icon_size | number | Optional | 24 | Sets the size of the icon for Tasks. Default is 24 because default is an empty checkbox. Only applies when use_icon or task_icon is set. |
chore_icon | string | Optional | Sets the icon used on Chores. Replaces the text. Set use_icons to true and don't use this parameter to use default icon. | |
chore_icon_size | number | Optional | 32 | Sets the size of the icon for Chores. Default is 32. Only applies when use_icon or chore_icon is set. |

due_in_days_threshold | number | Optional | 0 | Due dates are reported as 'Overdue', 'Today', 'Tomorrow', 'In X Days', and finally using the actual date. This sets how many days use the 'In X Days' format, before it switches to using date notation. |
last_tracked_days_threshold | number | Optional | 0 | Last tracked dates are reported as 'Today', 'Yesterday', 'x days ago' and finally the actual track date. This sets how many days use the 'x days ago' format, before it switches to using date notation. |
use_24_hours | bool | Optional | true | Sets if the times are shown in 12 hour or 24 hour formats. |
hide_text_with_no_data | bool | Optional | false | When true, if a property for an item is not set, it hides the text. For example, if a chore has never been completed, instead of showing 'Last tracked: -', it will hide the 'Last tracked' row entirely. |

show_description | bool | Optional | false | When true, show the chore/task descriptions under the name. |
description_max_length | number | Optional | When set and show_description is set, truncate shown descriptions to the number of characters specified. | |
fixed_tiling_size | number | Optional | When set, provides a fixed value to the masonry tiling algorithm for card size, where 1 unit equals 50 pixels. When unset, calculate the size dynamically from the number of items in the todo list. Setting the value will give a more consistent layout of masonry elements, though they may not be well balanced. When unset, the cards will be more compactly tiled for layout, but may move around on page refresh as list length changes. | |
custom_sort | string/map | Optional | Modifies the sort order. See here for details. |
Advanced options
It is possible to translate the following English strings in the card to whatever you like.
custom_translation:
Overdue: "Försenad"
Today: "Idag"
Due: "Dags"
'Assigned to': "Tilldelad"
'Last tracked': "Senast"
by: "av"
Track: "Gör nu"
'No todos': "Tomt"
'Look in Grocy for {number} more items': "Det finns {number} fler göromål i Grocy"
'Add task': "Lägg till"
'Optional due date/time': "Valfritt datum/tid"
"'Name' can't be empty": "Fyll i namn"
Tracked: "Färdigställt"
<a name="user_id"></a> Multi-User Support
If your Home Assistant/Grocy installation supports multiple users, this card can handle multiple users. To enable this, specify a map in the configuration, mapping the names of each home assistant user to their grocy user-id, e.g.:
user_id:
bob: 1
alice: 2
default: 1
In this example, home-assistant user "bob" has a grocy userid of 1, and home-assistant user "alice" has a grocy userid of 2. Then when Bob is logged into home assistant, chores/tasks will be tracked as userid 1, and when Alice is logged in, they will be tracked as userid 2.
Note that this name on the left hand side is the user's home assistant display name, not the login/userid.
A default
value may also be specified, specifying the userid to use for any Home Assistant user not otherwise specified.
This also affects the behavior of filter_user. Specifying filter_user: current
in the config will only show chores/tasks for the currently logged in user.
<a name="custom_sort"></a> Custom Sorting
By default, the card sorts items with the soonest due chores/tasks first. This can be modified by adding a custom_sort
key to the configuration. The card can sort on any property available in the individual items, and it can sort on multiple indices, in ascending (default) or descending order.
Sort Examples
The current sort algorithm, sorting by due_date, ascending.
custom_sort: __due_date
Sort alphabetically by name:
custom_sort: name
Sort by user_id, then sort by due_date
custom_sort:
- user_id
- __due_date
Sort by category_id (descending), then by user_id, then by due date (descending)
custom_sort:
- field: category_id
direction: descending
- user_id
- field: __due_date
direction: descending
The exact fields available for sort are tied into the card implementation and may change in the future without notice. To see the full list of fields that are available, review the source code or use the browser debugger to inspect what keys of the item object are available for sorting. Note tasks and chores may support different keys, so they may not sort as expected if you show both and use a sort key that is not available for both.
Using the Collapsible Overflow
Instead of the “Look in Grocy for X more items” text from older versions, this version can show all additional items in a collapsible overflow panel.
Usage
- Add the
show_quantity
parameter and set it to the number of items that should be shown in the main area. - Add the
show_overflow
parameter and set it totrue
. - To override the default size of the expand button icon, set
expand_icon_size
to an integer value.
Once you refresh, you should see a new button with an expand button at the bottom of the card if you have additional items. Click this to expand the card and show all items.
Icon Buttons
This version adds the ability to use icons instead of the “TRACK” text buttons on each item. Tasks and Chores can have different icons and sizes.
Usage
use_icons
parameter- When not used or
null
, icons are controlled by the other parameters. - When
true
, both Tasks and Chores will use an icon. If the associated parameters are not set, it will use the default icons. - When
false
, all other icon options are ignored and text-based buttons are used.
- When not used or
task_icon
/chore_icon
parameters- When set to a valid icon (i.e.
mdi:check
), items of that type will use the specified icon instead of text as long asuse_icons
is notfalse
. - When
use_icons
is true, you only need to use these parameters to override the default icons.
- When set to a valid icon (i.e.
task_icon_size
/chore_icon_size
parameters- When icons are used, specifies the height and width of the icon for that item type.
- Default for chores is
32
(as it’s a button) and tasks is24
(because it is a checkbox).
Date Formatting
This version also introduces better date formatting. Each date is formatted based on the current user’s localization settings so that the order of tokens (day/month/year vs month/day/year) is correct. It also allows 12 or 24 hour times and long date formats (i.e. December 31, 2022).
Usage
use_long_date
– Whentrue
, uses the long date format (i.e. December 31, 2022). Whenfalse
, uses the short format (i.e. 12/31/2022). Default isfalse
.use_24_hours
– Whentrue
, the time is shown in 24 hour format (i.e. 17:59). Whenfalse
, it uses 12 hour format (i.e. 5:59 pm). Default is to use 24 hour format (true
).due_in_days_threshold
– When set to a value grater than1
, specifies how many days from today will be shown as “Due: In X Days”. Default is0
, which means unused. For example, if it is set to3
, your tasks should have the following due dates:- Due: Overdue
- Due: Today
- Due: Tomorrow
- Due: In 2 Days
- Due: In 3 Days
- Due: August 9, 2022
- Etc.
Miscellaneous Style Options
show_divider
– Whentrue
, adds a divider between each task or chore. The color is specified in your theme using theentities-divider-color
variable (with fallback todivider-color
).hide_text_with_no_data
– Whentrue
, when an item’s property is blank, that property is hidden regardless of other settings. For example, if you haveshow_last_tracked
set totrue
, but a chore has never been completed, instead of showing “Last tracked: -”, the “Last tracked” line simply does not appear on that item (see Clean out the Fridge in the screenshot vs Sweep the Stairs).- Some of the colors can now be specified in your theme using CSS variables.
--red
: sets the color of Overdue due date.--orange
: sets the color of Today due date.--green
: sets the mouse-over color on icon buttons.--paper_font_subhead_-_font_size
: sets the size of the task title test.--paper_font_body1_-_font_size
: sets the size of the task’s other information text.--primary-text-color
: sets the title text, icon color, and item title text color.--secondary-text-color
: sets the color of other text.--accent-color
: sets the hover color of the Show More button and icon.
Other changes in this version
In general, this update aims to not change any default setups so that anyone using this card won’t notice any change unless they change it themselves. However, some small changes have been made:
- Date is always formatted using user’s localization settings rather than always appearing YYYY/MM//DD.
- Due Date will be shown as “Tomorrow” when it is due in 1 day.
- Task title line will now always use the following CSS variables:
--paper_font_subhead_-_font_size
for the size.--primary-text-color
for the color.
- Other task lines will now always use the following CSS variables:
--paper_font_body1_-_font_size
for the size.--secondary-text-color
for the color.
Known Issues
- Due/Completed dates with the time values 23:59:59 or 00:00:00 will not show the times. This is because those are the default values populated when no time is set.
