Great video thanks for posting it. Just getting into HA and this will be a great way to get started with dashboards

Chris keeps his kitchen pretty cold. He must keep the milk on the counter. 😅😂 Great video!

Love the battery page idea. I created something similar for my various battery-powered sensors using grid cards.

hi - is it possible to make a dashboard for presentation only? user can login but do nothing in fullscreen - no settings and nothing only look for example a webcam or see his smartmeter? for example from his mobile or tablet on his home? thx chris for share your videos and much work

[davefromcamp]

Doesn't work, only errors in dwains dashboard like: "custom element doesn't exist: dwains-dashboard-layout" or "homepage-card" problems noted on github page last year and no fixes

[DougLight]

Another great tutorial Chris. Thanks for making it. Very helpful. How did you handle the MQTT sensors that you defined for your weather station in Dwains Dashboard since they do not have Areas assigned? Can they be added manually by adding cards and referencing the Entities as you describe?

[raven_actual]

Chris How did you get your cameras to work? I used the blueprint and put in my rtsp address but nothing shows up. If I use Lovelace card it works but then I can't add it to favorites.

Its not showing in integration when searching. What to do?

[ajaxstationers]

Thank you Chris, this makes most people life very easy. Just a question can the dashboard be shown on kiosk browser ie porch just showing alarm panel and say all lights, kitchen area just showing kitchen entities, so we can use say a old phone for each area as control panel. Thank you in advance. Ajay

Hi Chris, what devices do you use for electricity consumption?

[DeanBoltman]

Hi Chris, how did you get the person information to go away under your greeting?

[tonygil]

[MrSupersidewinder]

Hope this can be done with a docker-compose setup!!! Love the dark mode... thanks.... You guys think maybe they are faking the whole ISS thing???🤪

[trdsclan]

Hi, could you please make a video on how did you integrate your DSC alarm system in HA? I'm really interested in DSC integration for my own home. Kind regards, Adrian
