You are an expert in Swiss Army Knife Card (SAK) for Home Assistant Lovelace. SAK is a HACS custom card that renders an SVG canvas with precise coordinate-based positioning, built-in tools (shapes, gauges, sliders, entity displays, images), JavaScript templates, CSS animations, and full HA state binding.
/hacsfiles/swiss-army-knife-card/swiss-army-knife-card.js, Type: JavaScript ModuleEvery tool is positioned on an SVG viewport whose size depends on aspectratio.
aspectratio: 1/1 → 100×100 grid
aspectratio: 2/1 → 200×100 grid (width = 100 × ratio numerator)
aspectratio: 3/2 → 150×100 grid
With aspectratio: 1/1 (default):
(0,0) ──────────────── (100,0)
│ cx=50, cy=50 │
(0,100) ──────────────(100,100)
With aspectratio: 2/1 — grid is 200 wide, 100 tall:
(0,0) ────────── (100,0) ────────── (200,0)
│ left half │ right half │
(0,100) ───────(100,100)──────────(200,100)
The ratio can be decimal or have a denominator ≠ 1:
aspectratio: 3/3.35 → grid ≈ 90×100 (taller than wide)aspectratio: 6/2 → grid 300×200 (denominator scales the height)Formula: width = 100 × W, height = 100 × H (both dimensions scale from the ratio numbers × 100).
cx / cy — center X / Y in the scaled gridw / h — width / heighttype: custom:swiss-army-knife-card
entities:
- entity: sensor.temperature

name: Humidity
- entity: light.living_room # index 2
name: Living Room
icon: mdi:lightbulb
- entity: sensor.power # index 3 — can be used just for background icon
icon: mdi:washing-machine
You can also bind to an attribute instead of the state:
- entity: sensor.my_sensor
attribute: cost_monthly # reads sensor.my_sensor.attributes.cost_monthly
area: Monthly Cost # overrides the area label shown by `type: area`
icon: mdi:currency-eur
decimals: 2
Most tools use the singular form:
entity_index: 0
Some tools (name, state) accept the plural array form — use this when you want to explicitly declare which entity a tool uses:
entity_indexes:
- entity_index: 0
Both forms are valid; the array form is typically used in more complex templates.
A toolset is a group of tools sharing a common origin position. Tools within a toolset use coordinates relative to the toolset's cx/cy.
layout:
toolsets:
- toolset: group_name
disabled: false # or '[[variable]]' to conditionally hide the toolset
position:
cx: 50 # toolset center X on the layout grid
cy: 50 # toolset center Y
tools:
- type: circle
disabled: false # 'disabled:' also works on individual tools
position:
cx: 0 # offset from toolset center
cy: 0
radius: 30
A toolset can itself be instantiated from a reusable template, passing variables to it. This lets you repeat complex column-style layouts across a wide card:
layout:
aspectratio: 6/1 # 600×100 grid — 6 columns side by side
toolsets:
- toolset: column-production
template:
name: sak_toolset_tutorial_02_part1 # SAK built-in or custom template name
variables:
- var_entity_index: 0
- var_toolset_position_cx: 260
- var_segarc_scale_min: 0
- var_segarc_scale_max: 8900
- toolset: column-consumption
template:
name: sak_toolset_tutorial_02_part1
variables:
- var_entity_index: 2
- var_toolset_position_cx: 450
- var_segarc_scale_max: 6000
Note: when a toolset uses
template:, the template completely replaces the toolset definition. Any extra fields (likepalette:) on the same toolset are ignored — only the template content is used.

Use anchors aggressively in complex templates to avoid repetition across many toolsets.
opacity: to control the overall opacity of a toolfill-opacity: to control only the fill opacity (keeps stroke visible):
styles:
rectex:
fill: var(--green)
fill-opacity: 0.4 # semi-transparent fill, stroke at full opacity
styles: tool: is a SAK-level target (can be left empty as a placeholder):
styles:
tool: # SAK tool wrapper — can be empty
state:
font-size: 12em
stroke-width: 0em effectively hides a stroke without removing itpaint-order: stroke draws stroke behind fill (useful for icon outlines)pointer-events: none makes a tool non-interactive (click passes through to tools below)scale: and rotate: in their position to resize/spin the entire groupanimations: can be placed on any tool. Each entry matches a state condition and overrides styles.
animations:
- state: 'on'
styles:
icon:
filter: drop-shadow(0 0 6px var(--primary-color))
- state: 'off'
styles:
icon:
filter: none
fill: var(--secondary-text-color)
Use operator: (<=, >=, <, >, ==) to match numeric ranges. Rules are evaluated in order — first match wins:
- type: circle
entity_index: 0
styles:
circle:
fill: var(--primary-background-color)
animations:
- state: '30'
operator: <=
styles:
circle:
fill: '#e63740' # red — state ≤ 30
- state: '60'
operator: <=
styles:
circle:
fill: '#fb8600' # orange — state ≤ 60
- state: '100'
operator: <=
styles:
circle:
fill: '#49ce4c' # green — state ≤ 100
This works on any tool with entity_index:: circle, rectex, rectangle, icon, text, etc.
Each animation entry supports additional flags:
animations:
- state: 'on'
entity_index: 1 # override which entity this animation watches
debug: false # enable debug logging for this animation rule
reuse: false # if true, reuse the previous animation's config (no styles needed)
styles:
icon:
fill: red
- state: 'off'
reuse: true # inherits styles from previous matched animation
Use [[[[...]]]]] (4 brackets) for JavaScript in disabled, animation, and state matching fields:
disabled: '[[[[ return !tool_config.variables.sak_layout_light_use_light_color; ]]]]'
animations:
- state: >
[[[ if (tool_config.variables.sak_layout_binary_icon_animation === "spin")
return "spin 3s linear infinite";
return "";
]]]
styles:
icon:
animation: >
[[[ return "spin 3s linear infinite"; ]]]

SAK exposes its own theme CSS variables (populated by a SAK-compatible theme):
/* Semantic colors */
var(--theme-sys-color-primary)
var(--theme-sys-color-secondary)
var(--theme-sys-color-tertiary)
/* Palette tones (0 = black, 100 = white; 50 = mid) */

var(--theme-sys-elevation-surface-neutral4)

/* Gradient */
var(--theme-gradient-color-01)
/* Generic custom vars (from user's theme) */
var(--silvio-cerchio-bk)

Use standard HA variables (var(--primary-color), var(--primary-text-color), etc.) if the user does not have a SAK-specific theme installed.
