Sample image to show the config

⚠️ Dependencies and missing data

Please be aware, that this Card is dependant on the Twitch Integration of Home Assistant. On my side it still looks like that this Integration is buggy and does not correctly update or create it's Entities. But because this Card uses the data from the Integration it can not display data that doesn't exist. For example you can see this GitHub Issue (It's closed but still not perfect on my side). Issues with the Integration can be found here even tho currently aren't any open.

Description

This card for HomeAssistant allows you to see all your favorite Twitch streamers who are currently live. You can heavily customize this card and show/hide information or set streams to ✭VIP or hidden with its more that 30 properties.
