Climate Cluster Card is a custom dashboard card for Home Assistant, the open source smart home platform, that gives an air conditioner or heat pump entity a car dashboard style control face instead of a plain thermostat widget. It shows two concentric rings on a wide arc gauge: dragging the inner ring sets the target temperature and dragging the outer ring sets the fan speed, both at the same time. Tapping the center opens a frosted glass style popup for picking the mode, such as cool, heat, dry, fan only, auto, or off. Beyond the main dial, the card includes toggle chips for things like swing direction, an LED display, and beep or sound settings, which automatically connect to matching sibling entities when the underlying device exposes them, and it was built and tested specifically against Midea brand air conditioners while still working with any generic Home Assistant climate entity. A newer option called extra toggles lets a user add their own switches or selectable entities as chips in the popup, useful for device features the card does not automatically detect, like an anti-mildew or gentle wind mode. The visual style itself can also be customized: a frosted glass appearance option with adjustable tint and opacity lets the card blend into a dashboard's wallpaper, and a full point and click editor is provided so none of this requires editing configuration files by hand. Technically, the card is written in plain JavaScript as a single self-contained web component with no external dependencies and no build step required to use it. It installs through HACS, the Home Assistant Community Store, as a custom repository, or can be added manually. The project is actively maintained with a running changelog of touch responsiveness fixes, swing control fixes for devices that use named vane positions rather than a simple on and off, and editor usability improvements like renaming mode buttons and toggle labels without touching YAML. The project's code is released under the MIT license.
