Liked the way you organised devices in rooms accessible all one page with the expanded view on demand. Really neat!. Great job! Now waiting for you to share your configuration as doing what you did from scratch is not that easy. Despite the documentation looking good, it took me a while just to get the UI installed. Reaching your level of configuration.... ufff. :)
Thanks Lewis for taking our requests into consideration and making this overview clip of your mobile dashboard !!! I would love to see the desktop and/or tablet dashboard. I just finished building my fire HD 8 dashboard, I went fully custom, as I wanted to make sure everything is aligned and fits nicely on the screen without having to scroll up/down or left/right . Most of the out of the box solutions do not fit nicely, but looks like minimalist works nicely with mobiles. I just got the HP Chromebase which comes with a 21.5'' touchscreen, planning to mount the screen on the wall (I will be detaching the screen from the base), and planning to build a dashboard, so looking forward to see what ideas you can share with us! Thanks!
@@EverythingSmartHome Is there some update planned to detail the implementation of the tablet dashboard? Looking into this over a year since your first video, and some reference yaml, etc would be awesome. Thanks!
Very interested in your custom cards, more specifically around proxmox and what not. I know you said you'll have a follow up video. Looking forward to it! Great stuff!
Great video! I picked up so many ideas from it. Can't wait for the 2nd part and would really love to see what you did differently in your tablet and pc dashboards as well
Hello Lewis! Thank you for showing this dashboard (and the guide in the more recent video as well). I took a lot of ideas from it. Can you show us your wall-mounted tablet and desktop dashboards too? I'd really appreciate it.
A great tour Lewis! I've been challenged to craft something really polished in Lovelace. I've been looking at the Minimalist theme for a while and your overview may have tipped me over the edge on getting this done. Look forward to the next video!
This is great. I've been trying to decide whether to group by rooms or by device/sensor. Never thought to do it both ways! Definitely going to try out Minimalist now too.
I’ve been using the minimalist dash for a few months now. You’ve given me some nice ideas there! I wrote a custom bin card to show individual bin schedules (blue, brown, green and black bins). Hope you remembered the dairy liquid! 😂
Super video Lewis, thank you...I would definitely be interested in your tablet and browser dashboards...I wish that I was in your league!!! :) Every once in a while a light will "magically" turn on, and my wife goes, "did you do that"??? and I go "maybe"...LOL
I like it, and might go that way so look forward to you explaining it a bit in the next vid! I use the 'UX Goodie Theme' in hacs as I really like the picture background option. thanks for sharing :)
It's funny, I've been messing around with this theme as well and it seems we have a similar way of thinking about that pesky welcome card. I've only just started messing around with creating custom cards/modifying existing ones, but I still cannot seem to figure out how to change the tap actions on those buttons. I'd preferably like to eventually determine whether something needs to call a service or navigate directly within the welcome card, but just for now, I cannot seem to figure out why it won't simply navigate. I'm actually really looking forward to the next video and hoping there's some juicy nuggets of wisdom in there. Hope you got that Dairy Liquid sorted!
Hi Lewis, exactly what the doctor asked for 🤠. This is now on my to-do list. One thing I always wanted to consider is the ability to pull notifications/alarms I to a chip type element. Example: there are device operated devices all over the house. If the battery of any device falls below a certain threshold I get notified via this home page chip. Clicking on it gives me a visual of which device/sensor triggered it. Or it may be an open door etc. Can we do something like this with this dashboard?
You said you want everything to be a single tap away if possible, but usually have two taps because you need to select the room. I was thinking: With your room tracking setup, why not open the page for the current room based on the tracked position? So that if you're in the office, whenever you open the HA app, it'll load up the Office dashboard, without requiring a tap! I love the dashboard and the room-based pages, but this could make it even more useful :D
One tap away as in, 1 tap to get to the control, not one tap to control. Otherwise I'd have to have everything on one page 😜 Yeah could do something like for sure!
I've been trying some things with this theme because of this video, really enjoying it! However, I can't seem to find the card you use for the rooms, is it a custom one?
Man this is amazing! Are your room cards also a custom card you made? I can't seem to find it among the list of cards. The 'Room Card' is a lot bigger.
thx for the inspiration mate! maybe it is time for me to switch back from hadashboard to lovelace. looks like that evolved a lot. very interested in your custom card developments!
Hi Lewis. Congrats, you turn professionnal, you now got an assistant ! Well done😁 But she wasn't in the home because she wasn't in the person tab. What a mistery 😉
Very nice looking dashboard, indeed. What plugins are you using to get the entities with the information from OPNSense, Proxmox and TrueNAS? I saw there is a Proxmox integration, yet it is quite limited in functionality (only whether a VM is running or not).
Nice video. Can I ask what type of bulbs do you use and which brand do you find the most reliable. Same question for the temperature and humid sensors. Thanks for the another great video
Loved this dashboard. I converted our 4000 sq ft historic home into a smart home with all Lutron dimmers and hue bulbs and of course a million sensors all controlled by home assistant. Been trying to find a great dashboard. You mentioned that you're going to share the code for the dashboard, are you going to add that to this video's description when it's available or will it be part of your next video on how to create the dashboard?
Really looking forward to the next video on how to create the dashboard, I did try myself but I'm fairly new to yaml and struggled with certain aspects like getting multiple people to show horizontally on the home page. Would it be possible for you to share your lovelace config?
Great video Lewis. I'm using HA for a couple of years now and actually dashboard development/management was always my main complain. I'm really missing drag&drop functionality and easy scaling of tiles, icons fonts, etc. I look forward your 'how to' video so I can utilize this nice, ascetic solution in my set-up. I'm also very interested in your PC and tablet solutions (hopefully with similar simplicity in mind). One question regarding Lab2 card. When referring to memory and disk, I'm wondering how to show server resources instead VM?
Enjoyed this, so started following you also on twitter. For me I have so many smart devices, including Proxmox, NASs, VMs, it's starting to get messy. Hopefully a nice dashboard will help. Smile about to buy the Amcrest door bell, what other Video camera do you use with HA. Thanks for all your awesome content. Still need to make your blind control device.
I really like you're video's, and I love this one as well! Very nice dashboard! I do feel it's a bit of a missed opportunity to show off the basics of HA. This is with custom cards, while you can do so much with the standard ones as well. I'll upload a video and send you over the url, so you can maybe inspire people to also look into the basics and how easy it can be. Anyways, keep up the good work! love your content ;-)
Nice video as always. May we ask what hardware is behind your home assistant? You made so many diff install methods, but interesting to know what's your flavour. Thanks
Hey slightly offtopic. At 10:25 you set the volume of your Nest Hub in the background. I can clearly see that you are not streaming and the standard Google screen is showing. How can you change the volume without streaming? I first have to start the stream to access the volume controls. I would love to set volume without streaming and it seems to work for you.
Awesome set up and video!! I’ll copy some of your ideas!! How did you create 2 separate dashboards? I have mine but Idk how to create one for my roommates :/
Excelent video! I just started to work on minimalist. Cant wait on next video with tutorial on how to work with it. Hope you explain how to use on PC and smartphone since I installed it on my PC, but when i load my dashboard on my phone, it just appears as error. Got a question. 1. what temeprature /munidity sensors do you use on the bedrooms???
@@EverythingSmartHome they work well with home assistant? I bought some linkind and they are good, but current firmware has problems on updating movement sensor status
Hey Lewis, have you had the chance to tidy up your code yet? I really like your version of UI Lovelace Minimalist and would like to build my dashboard on the basis of yours. Thanks for your great videos
Likey a lot. Not sure if possible, but do you know if the shopping list from Alexa (or Google if they have similar) could be pulled into HA? It'd be so useful to be able to add items by voice rather than opening up the dashboard to type/select.
This is how I have my Alexa shopping list (and to-do) integrated with HA: The todoist app can be integrated with Alexa shopping list and there is an HA integration for todoist as well. This way I can display my Alexa shopping list on my HA dashboard. Only downside is that it only updates every 10 mins or so. So if you tell Alexa to cross something off, it will take some time to reflect it on the dashboard. I’m sure there is a better way, but it works for me.
Can you do a video about the basics of programming in esphome? The docs are good but there is no good basic guide out there for getting started with the actual coding part.
