Card Version

v3.2.13

Component Version

v3.3.8

Bug description

I first installed the scheduler component through HACS, added it as an integration and I see it showing up, however it has no entities defined (is this normal?)

Then I installed the scheduler card through HACS. I made sure that config/www existed and I can see that the installation created the proper JS files there.

However, I can't find the card anywhere in the UI. The instructions mention "follow the instructions after downloading" but the only instruction I got was to reload my browser, which I did.

The documentation has an animated GIF showing the card in operation, but it doesn't show how to navigate to the card. I assigned my scheduler component to a room, but it doesn't show up on the dashboard under that room. I'm running HomeAssistant 14.0, perhaps something has changed?

Steps to reproduce

1. Install scheduler-component through HACS following all instructions (including restarting HA and adding the integration)
2. Install scheduler-card through HACS following all instructions (including creating config/www)
3. Where is the card?

Additional info

No response

The scheduler component part is a background task that won’t show up anywhere. Once you’ve installed scheduler card, you must go into edit mode on a dashboard and add a card. Then you pick custom: scheduler card.

Thanks for the tip, I figured this out after a while. Perhaps it would be useful to add this to the documentation? The existing documentation seems to suggest the card will show up by default in the Overview dashboard (that's what's showing in the animation). I'm happy to put up a PR if this would be useful.

I expect that the way to add a new card is “assumed knowledge” in HA. I think the “instructions provided” bit in the documentation refers to installing the card component in HA. It’s not referring to how to actually use the card, add it to a dashboard etc. That’s the bit that is assumed knowledge I suspect. If you’re in HA, you know how to add a card etc. Not always the case of course!

I'm having a similar problem, but can't get HA to find the Card for use. I've followed all the instructions to install via HACS. The component (and integration) is installed, but I can't get HA to find the Scheduler Card. The issue seems similar to Issue #683 , but I installed via HACS and it was installed automatically in the Community folder by HACS.
I've restarted/reloaded everything multiple times, and the scheduler card isn't available either in the UI or even to add manually.
