# Compass Card

> Compass Card is a dashboard card for Home Assistant. It has 243 GitHub stars and was last updated October 26, 2026.

Compass Card is a dashboard card that shows a directional indicator on a compass. It adds a Lovelace card to Home Assistant that draws an indicator inside a circle, so a direction value can be read at a glance. The card can be added with the visual editor or configured manually in YAML. The README credits a dynamic background image and support for MDI icons. It is installed through the Marketplace, or HACS on 2026.10 and older, or by copying the card file manually.
