Creating a Beautiful Home Assistant Mobile Dashboard Easily!

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!

Hope you enjoy this one, please do me a HUGE favour and leave a comment down below, this video has been a nightmare to get out so I hope it is useful! 🙏

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

Admittedly I had to pause every 3 minutes to google how to emulate some of your features (e.g. setting up weather integration API keys, getting the lights on counter to work with Philips Hue areas, etc.), but even after 2 years this video is still a goldmine for newbies.
I still have SO much to learn, but now it feels like I have a framework to accommodate new devices and functions as I smarten up my home and work out what I want it to do for me.

Thank you 🥰🥰

Looking good. Another tip - the Grid card will save you a lot of time from having to add multiple Horizontal Stacks for your rooms/entities. You can set the number of columns to 2 and uncheck "force square".

[DamienGultig]

So glad you managed to get this up. This is my evening sorted.

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.

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!

Any plans on doing this type of video for your wall mount tablet setup?

[streetwiztech]

Only just got around to playing with dashboards.. but now i've started i'm appreciating the ease of use... rather than scrolling down all my rooms in one page

[dpippet]

Excellent tutorial Lewis.
Could please share the entity that you use to count the number of turned on lights?

You cannot imagine how great your video was! After 2 years with HA I’ve just redone my whole dashboard plus now included customised pop ups with the browser_ mod to handle more info screens instead of navigating. You simply ROCK 🙏🏻👏🏻

After hours trying to use yaml with Minimalstic UI and getting no where and needing a lie down, 45 minutes of following your guide I had a fully working dashboard

[johnny_wheelz]

I'm a self-confessed newbie and idiot. I found these instructions wonderfully easy to follow. Fits my needs perfectly

[wesleyvandenbraak]

this helped me out a lot!
Hope u will do another one for tablets because the view is different and the looks are totally messed up. love ur vids! even now, two years later this was usefull :)

[stedy]

Thank you for this. One of, if not the best tutorial I have come across soo far. The time and effort you have put into it is clear and has not gone unappreciated! 💯

[VictorVizcarraS.]

I was looking for quality content in many videos and finally I could find it in your channel, I am very grateful to you.

Я живу в другой стране и только благодаря автопереводу смог смотреть это видео. Отличная видео, спасибо!

[ayrtonfineout]

Oh man. This is going to be a great weekend. I started the hard mode after you put out the Minimalist video. Definitely changing to Mushroom!

[mikepeterson]

This is really useful. Up to this point, my HA views have been very utilitarian. Now it has some class.

[LeberAdanek]

Dude, this has been super useful. I am new to home assistant so a walkthrough to the dump of data that Home Assistant gives you is a god send.
