Update FAQ – Astrion Remote v1.0.36 & RosCard v1.0.8
This FAQ covers the most common questions after updating to Astrion Remote v1.0.36 and RosCard v1.0.8.
What’s the main change in this update?
The biggest change is custom entity naming support.
You can now rename entities directly for Astrion / RosCard usage, allowing:
- Cleaner labels on the remote
- More user-friendly names
- Better differentiation between similar devices
This affects how view data is loaded and stored.
My Astrion Remote doesn’t show the latest card layout or names. What should I do?
This is expected for some users after the update.
Please follow both steps below:
Step 1: Clear browser cache
- Clear your browser data (cache + local storage)
- Reload Home Assistant
Step 2: Re-save RosCard views
On your PC:
- Open Home Assistant
- Edit each RosCard card you use
- Click Save (no changes required)
This forces Home Assistant to store the new custom-name attributes correctly.
This step is important — custom naming is a structural change, so older saved views need to be refreshed once.
Why is re-saving cards necessary?
Because custom entity names are new attributes, older card data may not include them.
Re-saving ensures:
- Consistent loading on Astrion
- Correct display order
- Proper synchronization between HA and the remote
This is a one-time action per card.
Does this affect button mappings or automations?
No.
- Physical button mappings remain unchanged
- Automations and scripts continue to work normally
- Only display and metadata loading is affected
Do I need to factory reset the remote?
No.
A factory reset is not required for this update.
Only follow the two steps above if you notice loading or display issues.
Where should I report issues after updating?
If problems persist after completing the steps above:
- Please post in Astrion – Core Discussions
- Include:
- Firmware version
- RosCard version
- Card type (TV / Media / Light / Climate)
- Screenshots if possible
This helps us troubleshoot faster.
Thank you all for the detailed feedback — it directly helps shape Astrion and RosCard’s development.
More UI and button-customization improvements are already in progress.
