  • In this video I show you how to create a clean and minimalistic smart home dashboard using Home Assistant and Mushroom. Mushroom is a take on Minimalist UI, that has a focus on making things easier to use, with everything being accessible from the UI to click and select. This makes it possible to build a really nice mobile smart home dashboard very easily, and also quickly!

      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.

    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?

    • @seantunley336
      @seantunley336 2 года назад +10

      @@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!

    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!

    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.

    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 !

    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.

    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.
