in plain english

HA Gate Card is a custom visual card for Home Assistant, the popular home automation platform. It is built specifically for people who have an automated gate at their property, such as a sliding or swinging driveway gate, and want a clear, attractive way to see and control it from their smart home dashboard. Many gate setups have a quirk this card is designed to solve: the command that opens or closes the gate and the sensor that reports whether it is actually open or closed often come from two different sources. A gate might be triggered by a radio impulse, but its real position is only known through separate open and closed sensors. This card combines both pieces of information into one consolidated, trustworthy display, rather than guessing the gate's state from the command alone. The card shows the gate's status using color coding, such as green for closed, orange for open, and blue while moving, and animates the gate opening or closing on screen in a style that matches the real gate, including sliding, swinging, garage roller door, or a simple wicket door display. It automatically recognizes state values in twelve languages, so labels like closed, ouverture, or en mouvement are all understood without extra setup. A pedestrian mode is also available for gates with a smaller walk-through leaf. To avoid sending confusing or dangerous double commands, the card only shows buttons that make sense for the gate's current state, and hides commands while the gate is actively moving, since a second impulse could stop or reverse it partway. Two-tap confirmation and a stop button are available as options. Every setting can be adjusted either by editing YAML directly or through a visual editor built into Home Assistant. The card is installed through HACS, the Home Assistant Community Store, by adding it as a custom repository, since it is not yet listed in the default store. It is released under the MIT license and is currently an early preview, with the author welcoming feedback and bug reports.
