Update Card on Entity Update
Hello,
I have recently set this card up to show progress of a long-running computer process, and it looks great and works quite well!
I am feeding the duration via an entity (input_number) and units, which works well. My situation is a bit strange in that I want to be able to update the duration while the timer is running (if the time remaining estimate on the computer process that I am monitoring goes up or down). The plumbing from my monitoring script into HA works, but I have to reload my whole HA dashboard in order for the card to update. After the update, the card has received the updated value and looks right.
My question is, would it be possible to have the card monitor the state of the duration entity (and perhaps other entities), and when that state changes update the card? I do understand that this is likely a niche use case and may not be worth the effort or complexity if they are hard.
Thanks! Nick
Seems like a bug in the card. I do try to handle external entities changing but haven't thoroughly tested enough!
