Limits And Notes
- Available sources and actions depend on the connected provider and devices.
- Assist is offered when a Home Assistant session is configured. Conversations and microphone recordings last only while the dialog is open; the selected pipeline is saved with the card.
- RSS feeds require public HTTPS addresses and a signed-in Navet session.
- Provider devices are listed under All cards. Navet offers a generic entity card when a device has no dedicated card.
