It has 88 GitHub stars and was last updated October 1, 2026. Fluid Level Background Card is a dashboard card that wraps other cards and draws an animated fluid level behind them. A sensor entity sets the fluid level, and a separate fill entity can turn on bubbles while it is active. Level and background colors can be set freely, and severity levels can change the fluid color based on the sensor value. A full value setting lets the card turn a raw sensor reading into a percentage. Wave height, speed and style are adjustable, with a choice between classic, realistic and a lighter realistic mode meant for dashboards with many cards. The fluid can also be clipped to a bottle, battery, droplet or tank shape, or to a custom image, while the wrapped card stays unchanged. It works with any card, including grid and stack cards, and is installed through the Marketplace or HACS. Automatic summary of the README of swingerman/lovelace-fluid-level-background-card.
