Holy cow, subscribed! You are a great teacher! Clear and straight to the point. You're the only one who has helped me with this after hours of researcher, and I'm a developer!
just now seeing this. helpful info. I won't overconfess, but I have a litter of hubs running right now, so use Sharptools as main dashboards, but with your touchscreen/NUC combos, do you have screens that wake from sleep or always on? I use tablets with fullykiosk which can have them sense light/motion, but would love a better device, especially one that can be low voltage power source. I have recessed 110v boxes behind mine since running usb cables long distance isn't always the best solution.
Great vid thanks - hey what touch screens do you recommend to run HA (vs Rasp pi or Nuk?) I didnt know you could …and looking for something more robust for the system OS
For most situations I just use a Raspberry PI - it will work with any HDMI/USB screen stand alone, or with a touchscreen. There are some nice inexpensive 15-21" touchscreens out there now. - Thanks for watching!
Loved the intent, but even after copying your code, I can't get this to work. I am running HA 2024.3.1 and Layout card v 2.4.5. My first clue is when I add a button, it won't move to any grid position. When I add more than 1 card, they just pile up on top of each other. Any thoughts why this might occur. I would love to get this to work the way yours does.
I am working to get a spot I can post code. Try going simple - make the grid 4x4 to start with - make sure what ever you name the cell is the exactly the same as what you put on the card so if you have "cel1 cel2" "cel3 cel4" the card would have for example, grid-area: cel3 - will add to the description of the video once I get it up - will probably be back at my site yoyoknows.com
Thanks for this. I'm using browser mod as well but I am unable to automate changing the view on only one of my tablets. When I use the command 'browser_mod.navigate' it changes the view on all devices and not just the one I'm targeting using the entity. Are you able to do this? If so, can you PLEASE share what you are doing. It is driving me mad!
Thanks for watching - you need to make sure you setup names for each, and then you can target the changes. Its hard to share in the comments, but I am working on getting the website back up and running - check out yoyoknows.com in the next week or so and I will have a better way to share code snippets!
Had someone in the building I live in give me a an all in one pc that has a 21 inch touch display. Planning to make that my main dashboard once I get my HA setup how I want it.
Yup, check out my other video on dashboards, I am using 100% CSS inside Button Card to arrange my whole dashboard - its pretty cool - would love to find a was to allow positioning through variables/helpers in HA. Anyway - thanks for watching!
Listening to this with headphones, around the 5-minute mark I noticed talking and laughing subtly in the background of the music you have... So creepy as I thought it was coming from outside LOL
Great informative video! I am currently using a surface pro 4. i have it in kiosk mode to just display the dashboard. but i have a few issues: HA logs out every 20 minutes or so. it will not stay logged in? windows lock screen. even if no password you still have to swipe/click to unlock still trying to figure out how to use the camera for wake on motion if you have a place that we can chat about this stuff that would be great.
You have chrome in kiosk mode and home assistant is logging out of the web interface? Or, windows is locking - take a look at windows powertoys stayawake - learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/awake
@@yoyoTechKnows windows 11 in kiosk mode, so it uses edge to display a single web page. So every 20 minutes the website will log out of HA. Windows itself will lock as well
I've never seen anyone do the rows, just the columns. Really nice job!
Thank you - I am glad you like, thanks for watching!

Can you provide your yaml code of your grid as an example for a quick start.
For sure - let me get it posted and I will share a link

Nice - good luck and have fun setting it up - thanks for watching!
Nice. That's straight up CSS

Realy helpful
Thank you - I am glad you liked it. Been on a little break - hope to be back real soon with some more videos! - thanks for watching!
