Quote of the Day Card

quote

Quote of the Day card uses the Feed Parser Sensor to pull quotes from Brainyquotes.com RSS feed and display them on a nice card. Quotes are selected randomly.

Requirements

  • Feedparser v0.0.8 or later: Feedparser changes the way the data is stored from dictionary to list format. Quote of the Day card was updated in v0.0.4 to be compatible with this breaking change. Previous versions of Feedparser may work but are untested.

Instructions

  1. Download the Feed Parser Sensor and use the following configuration:
sensor:
 - platform: feedparser
   name: Quote of the Day
   feed_url: 'https://www.brainyquote.com/link/quotebr.rss'
   date_format: '%a, %b %d %I:%M %p'
