Description

Slider Card is a customizable card for light, input_number, covers, fans, switches, locks & media_player volume_level entity sliders, for the Home Assistant Lovelace frontend. Please read the notes at the bottom of this readme, there are some important styling tips, because the padding on the thumb works in mysterious ways (Using border styling)
Everything under function in the options table is css styling, so it is possible to use any of the supported ways of setting styles. For example for width, height and paddings you can use '%', 'px', 'rem' and so on. And the same for colors, you can use hex, rgb and named.

Features

• Customizable slider card for lights, input_numbers, media_players, covers, fans, switches, and locks
• It can handle both brightness and warmth of light
• It can handle custom min, max and step for input_number
• It will toggle switches and locks when slid (slide-to-unlock style)

Future features (Maybe)

• Customizable Percentage Text inside slider.
• Multiple entities (Right now you can only put one light entity in each card).
• If you would like a new feature, please feel free to create an issue asking for it.

Using a Switch or Lock

By adjusting the maxSet you can adjust when a release causes the entity to be toggled. In this example the user would only need to slide 70% of the way to activate this lock

cards:
  - type: custom:my-slider
    entity: lock.lock
    maxSet: 70

NOTE

When changing the padding of the thumb. If you want for example padding on the sides (horizontal) you will have to triple the width of the thumb itself, this has something to do with the border styling. There is possibly a way around this, if I use some more time on the styling, but for now, this will have to do, since it serves the purpose I need it for. Plus if you just keep this in mind, there should be no trouble. But play around with it. This includes when wanting padding on top/bottom (vertical), you will have to change height of the thumb.

For the colors, you can use HEX colors ('#111111'), color names supported by CSS ('red', 'blue', 'black', etc.) and I assume you can also use rgb ('rgb(255, 255, 255)') and rgba ('rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5)'). rgba is used when you want to change the opacity, this is the last number in the comma seperated list, where 1 is full opacity and 0 is full transparency.
