Very nice. I like how you have the configuration of the dashboard to be friendly for both mobile phone and tablet views. Looks great! I currently maintain two dashboards, by choice (haha). They're a mashup of UI-Minimalist and Mushroom Cards.

That gas price near the house sounds really convenient, how do you agragate the prices ?

[andrewcox]

Dumb question - but do all rooms still have the manual switches for lighting and fans?

Nice and clean dashboard, could you share the configuration for it?

Nice video. About the doorbell, how to setup the automation of the live feed on ringing the doorbell.

[TimBouchard]

Interested on the screen turning off until someone walks up to it. Is this a setting within the OS/BIOS on this model tablet? Or is that an option on any tablet? Great work on the video!

Your dashboard is really awesome, thanks for sharing, now you need to show us how to build it please 🙏🏻

Even just the basics.

How did you build the announcement card, I would love to have that on my dashboard?

[wilty]

Does it matter whether or not the tablet you use can be updated to run the latest software? Android or IOS or is that important? Can I use an older IPad or is this strictly for Android? Thanks

[PassportPowell]

Do you still use and recommend this tablet?

[kwanizac]

Great dashboard.
Why are you sounding like rfk Jr though. Are you OK?

[LeeMyers-Jr]

I would like to see a video on the energy.
