Device

How the device_id setting works and why the card uses a device instead of a single entity.

The card is configured from a Home Assistant device, not from a single entity.

That is important because all iopool entities for one pool are attached to the same device, and the device ID stays stable even if the pool is renamed.

The visual editor filters devices to the iopool integration so you only see valid pool devices.

Finding the device

Open the device page for your pool in Home Assistant. Use the device ID shown in the URL or select it directly from the editor device picker.

Why this matters

  • The card can resolve all pool entities from one device.
  • The title follows the device name or user-set name.
  • A device-based configuration is more robust than hardcoding individual entity IDs.
