Home Assistant Configuration

⚠️ Important

As of 2024, this repository is no longer maintained. While I will not be updating this project, pull requests addressing future breaking changes are welcome. I want to thank everyone for their contributions and support on this project. Seeing it rise as the community's top topic of all time has been truly overwhelming.

I am now shifting my focus to a new project called ha-fusion. It aims to be a modern, easy-to-use, and performant custom dashboard built from scratch. I hope you'll check it out!

Home Assistant Container on a Synology DiskStation DS918+ NAS. Wall mounted tablet (Galaxy Tab A 10.1) using Fully Kiosk Browser. My configuration is exposed to HomeKit with Apple TV acting as a hub for remote connection.

Installation

How do I install this theme?
There's no install button. I'm sharing my full configuration

Can you please add this to HACS?
No, because this is not a custom card or integration

Where do I even start?
INSTALL.md explains how to get started 🎉

Features

• Dashboard (Lovelace) using custom button-card and layout-card
• Portrait, landscape and mobile view - responsive_demo.mp4 [mirror]
• Less cluttered interface by displaying more information in a popup
• Loading animation for slow responding entities
• Adding tap audio feedback to the UI for wall-mounted tablet
• Icon CSS animations based on entity state

Sidebar

• Time and date with greeting based on time of day
• Entities that are on, using natural language
• Mailbox counter to show received mail
• Temperature with emoji based on weather conditions
• Important calendar information
• Other conditional alerts

Footer

Popups that supports notifications.

Popups

Long press a button to show settings and information pertaining to the entity, using browser_mod. Light popups are automatically created using the light button-card template with 🍄 Mushroom

Media

Conditionally display media players based on the last active device. If nothing is active for 15 minutes, a poster of the last downloaded movie/episode is shown (Plex, Radarr, Sonarr). Swipe to reveal non-active media players

Theme

card-mod is used for the styles in include/themes.yaml and each popup also contain styles depending on content. I've made a tool to help with css element selectors - https://matt8707.github.io/card-mod-helper/
