Hope you enjoy this one, please do me a HUGE favour and leave a comment down below, this video has been a nightmare to get out so I hope it is useful! 🙏
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for your content, it has helped me get started with HA and a smart home. I am still new to HA, learning things but your videos help me a lot. Also, wanted to setup minimalist ui since a long time but wasnt sure how to get started, this and the previous video were very helpful to me.
Awesome video! Small little tweak to the kiosk mode code. This allows kiosk mode on mobile but not on the desktop, for easy editing! Was a big time saver for me. kiosk_mode: mobile_settings: hide_header: true
I'm not sure what you are saying here?, it sounds important tho. I am using both phones and a wall tablet thing. Is that what makes the difference here? Or is kiosk not linked to wall tablet in this context?
@@zwart592 So essentially, in the video when putting in the kiosk mode, it changed both the desktop (where you are editing) and the mobile device dashboards (phone and tablets included). When you needed the headers again for editing, you would have to disable kiosk mode, as was demonstrated in the video. Using this small tweak to the kiosk code, the headers will remain on desktop version of the dashboard (which is really handy for tinkering and editing) but will always be hidden on the tablet and phone dashboards. This way, you never have to disable kiosk mode to get back to the headers and its clean and tidy on all mobile devices by design 🙂 Hope this helps!
Admittedly I had to pause every 3 minutes to google how to emulate some of your features (e.g. setting up weather integration API keys, getting the lights on counter to work with Philips Hue areas, etc.), but even after 2 years this video is still a goldmine for newbies. I still have SO much to learn, but now it feels like I have a framework to accommodate new devices and functions as I smarten up my home and work out what I want it to do for me. Thank you 🥰🥰
Great video. I realize this is older and not sure if mentioned in comments, but since then they added Subview for different views, so no more need for the back chip and views are hidden at top that have this subview enabled :) Also a benefit of using Grid Card vs. Horizontal Stack for Rooms is you can set to two colums and then able to re-order rooms around and they are not locked into pairs. Finally, put everything onto a page in vertical stack, otherwise the cards will shift around if using something with PC or iPAD.
Looking good. Another tip - the Grid card will save you a lot of time from having to add multiple Horizontal Stacks for your rooms/entities. You can set the number of columns to 2 and uncheck "force square".
This is easily one of my top favorite Home Assistant tutorials - the time and effort you put into making this video is incredible. Your dashboards are so clean and functional, and I really enjoyed following along to replicate it in my dashboards. This was my first time using anything in HACS but everything fell into place exactly as you described. The mushroom dashboard is great, but I think I will try to tackle minimalist too at some point. Thanks again for the great videos!
Only just got around to playing with dashboards.. but now i've started i'm appreciating the ease of use... rather than scrolling down all my rooms in one page
You cannot imagine how great your video was! After 2 years with HA I’ve just redone my whole dashboard plus now included customised pop ups with the browser_ mod to handle more info screens instead of navigating. You simply ROCK 🙏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for this. One of, if not the best tutorial I have come across soo far. The time and effort you have put into it is clear and has not gone unappreciated! 💯
After hours trying to use yaml with Minimalstic UI and getting no where and needing a lie down, 45 minutes of following your guide I had a fully working dashboard
thank you, been using HA for a while but never attempted to create mobile dashboard as it was always to time consuming, but your vid and mushroom allowed me to have dashboard i always wanted! thank you!
Thanks so much for the tutorial. I have been using Dwain's Dashboard and have been building my confidence to have a go at a Dashboard. I'm very happy with this one, looks very nice!
Thanks for taking your time to show us how to get started with a dashboard. I personal made some changes on the icon color I use the follow: {% if is_state('switch.hallway', 'on') %} green {% else %} red {% endif %} I will like to see two color when using my Nest thermostat when on like to see the green color and red when is off. Thanks again for the video.
Great video! Going to start working on a new dashboard with Mushroom cards today. One thing I've been wanting to set up for a long time that I saw you had in the video was the sensor that counts the number of lights on. Could you show how you set that up?
@@robinprinz6850 why would my light count be increasing every time i load the dashboard from a different device e.g. load in windows count is 0, load on my phone count goes up to 1, load on my tablet count goes up to 2, refresh in windows, count goes up to 3 etc
Awesome video. Have been wanting to make some decent dashboards for a while but always just ended up not really knowing what to do. This has helped so much!
I appreciate the effort that went into this (and your other videos as well). Based on the strength of your vids, got my own HAOS setup at home (w/ Frigate, ESXi, etc...) going in about a month. Thank you for enabling all of us beginners. Lovely work, sir.
Thank you so much! A lot of basics covered in the vidio that I struggeld with initially. This is a very good starting point for anyone getting into Home Assistant.
Wow … really impressed how easy and instructional your videos are. Tons of good content out there but you really bring it home easily. Can’t imagine how much time it must takes to do these. Appreciate the effort ….
I have legit wanted to have this dashboard for SO LONG but never had the time to dig into it. Ever since your video last week I have waited for THIS one. Going to be a nice watch!
With over a year in Home Assistant, I have been overwhelmed with setting up a dashboard that would get the wife approval factor. This is the one that I will debut to the wife!
this helped me out a lot! Hope u will do another one for tablets because the view is different and the looks are totally messed up. love ur vids! even now, two years later this was usefull :)
I only can say THANK YOU ! Your tutorials are amazing but this one really is outstanding ! Loved ! And learned a lot and designed my new mobile dashboards all thanks to you your dedication to the HA community ! I really can’t wait for the upcoming tutorial regarding minimalist 🙂 I would suggest (if I Amy) that you could cover also things that cannot be done with Mushroom when you cover the Minimalist Tutorial. That would be a nice way for your audience understand the differences and why it would make sense to use Minimalist in certain aspects. Again a huge thank you and accept by best regards from a Portuguese follower and fan ! Cheers :-)
Nice! I just went through the rabbit hole of watching various videos on dashboards and watched your Top 5 Dashboard video before clicking this video and you wearing a tshirt with word 'nice' had be cracking up🤣🤣 that is a good easter egg! thanks for all your videos and effort you make with putting all this together and the additional personal touch - its all so....nice!
New to using home assistant so this has a lot of appeal to me. Your channel got me to make the switch to a local smart home. Got 90% of my home running local now!
@@EverythingSmartHome Also looking forward to the "hard" version. I think the easy version for the most part looks just as good and is easy to put together, until I saw your LAB page. I feel like the Minimalist version of the LAB page looked 1000x better than the Easy version. I hope you will be sharing the code for that as one could almost just copy and past the yaml into that card page and just update some entities to basically duplicate the look and function. I mean it just looks really good.
I already have my yaml Minimalist version set up, but not without its issues or quirks. This video has me wanting to try out Mushroom on a secondary dashboard so I can compare options, while I desperately wait for the Minimalist video. Thanks Lewis for your hard work in getting us this video!
I love your videos. I am just starting Home Assistant and see there been a lot of changes for 2024. I was wondering if you would consider updating this video for 2024 version of Home Assistant 🙏. I am a rookie and like the mushroom theme but having some issues navigating with the new menus. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Thank you for the tutorial! Would it be possible to share the code of the "lights on". I will be looking forward for another great video tutorial from you!
This is a really great setup, huge step up from the defaults. I feel like there's still a long way to go for home assistant to make this layout building less painful though!
Love it. Thankyou, it would have been a lot of work for you. Looking forward to all the possibilities this will now open up. So you know it was not to long, watched it before my work day.
Nevermind, got it. Created a helper: Group of windows ('ramen' in Dutch), which results in binary_sensor.ramen Then created a template for that: {{ states | selectattr('entity_id', 'in', state_attr('binary_sensor.ramen', 'entity_id')) | selectattr('state', 'eq', 'on') | list | count | int }}
Oh man !!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and making it easy for anyone to understand. I've loved your videos, since I discovered your channel a few months ago. Now I'm starving to see you do some coding on the other version.
Thanks for making this! Inspired me to finally sort my mobile dashboards and mushroom really does make it much easier to make something that looks nice!
Thanks. Awesome video. Been thinking about changing the look and feel of my dashboard for a while now and this gives me the inspiration to finally get started.
This was awesome! Spent the day watching the video and migrating my current dashboard and views. Thank you so much for putting this together and making it easy to follow along. I appreciate you sharing the templates as well, that makes a nice addition to the cards.
Fantastic video, Lewis. I'm still new to HA but this video makes me want to spend more time transforming the rather boring but already amended standard dashboard into a fancy custom one with separate pages for each room
Thanks, once again! I've been wanting to update my dashboard, but this brought it back to the forefront. Mushroom does make this really easy with the chips, etc. Going through and roughing things out now for a more user-friendly experience.
Man this was a great video, you really did a good job covering everything. While explaining I would think of a question and then you would follow-up with the answer. Great job. As well as explaining issues ahead of time that people could come across like what to do if HACS doesn't show or the icons are missing.
Great tutorial! I've had my own mobile dashboard for awhile, it worked, but it was just kind of "meh". I followed along to your whole video and love what i have now! Unless i missed it, i'd love to see another video about a desktop dashboard you have. I normally have Home Assistant always open on my web browser and definitely need some help beautifying that.
Appreciate your videos. I like having the full navigation of my rooms at the top so I just created buttons for each room in helpers and then added those as chips at the top navigating to the room with no info on the cards other than the icons. Created them once on the main screen with the navigation info filled out and then duplicated the card and moved each duplicated card to the top of each room.
Freaking awesome as always. This is my first dive into the mushroom cards setup and trying to get a tablet up on the wall so I'll be using this as a definite jumping off point. Thanks!
Excellent video, it's just perfect and a joy to watch, can't thank you enough. I'm trying to use your ideas for my new home dashboard but in a tabled, in landscape! So, I'm struggling to tidy up everything like you did on our tablet. I would love to see more of your excellent design skills. Please keep up the great work!
This video has been very useful. I have been using Home Assistant for 5 days now... Being able to create such a professional dashboard for me and my family was a fantastic feeling and made the deep dive into this world well worth it. I do have a question though. How did you create the 'entity for counting lights' that you added to the top of this dashboard? As a newbie, the little things you experts can do makes us newbie's feel like we are just scratching the surface and I am currently like a sponge trying to learn as much as I can! Again thank you for such a useful video. I am subscribed and cant wait to watch more of your content!
Thanks for the video. I was wondering if it was possible to add motion or window sensor icons to the room cards on your home page. That would give you a quick glance to see if the lights are on, room temperature, if the room is occupied and if any window or door is open.
