## INTRODUCTION
Content :
- lovelace UI mode : **lovelace.yaml is a full copy from the HA UI editor**
- Custom light and dark themes
- Sensor and template files
I'm not an expert, I'm just a hobbyist.
The code is certainly not written in the best way, but I created this with my limited knowledge.
I write everything myself, so please be understanding! 😊
👉🏼 There will be changes as I regularly evolve my dashboard with my ideas.
## DASHBOARD
Click to view the information
1. Dashboard created in 4 columns, thanks to the ayout card` available on HACS:
- The tab is configured with `View Type`: `Horizontal layout-card` and :
```yaml
width: 350
max_cols: 4
````
- A `vertical stack` column is nested within a card with :
```yaml
type: custom:layout-card
layout_type: masonry
layout:
width: 280
cards:
````
2. Themes :
I have created two distinct themes, and I switch between them using automation based on sunlight.
3. Television :
The television card is a massive effort in button card template and sensor template. I am pleased with the outcome!
For this card, you need :
- sensor template
- template button card `base`
- template button card `tv_card`
- template button card `media_controls` (for controls buttons)
- template button card `tv_NAME-TV_card` (with entities)
- After that, writing the card in the dashboard is very simple!
```yaml
type: custom:button-card
template:
- tv_NAME-TV_card
````
4. Magic Brightness Gauge :
On the room cards, the brightness gauges are very special...
A room has several lights, and the gauge controls all the lights, which I didn't want !
Indeed, the ideal was to find a way to control only the lights that are already turned on!
If a lighting scene is in progress, and only 4 out of 10 lights are on, the gauge only affects those 4 lights! Brilliant!
Here's what's needed:
- a light group for the room, exemple : `light.kitchen`
- input_number, exemple : `input_number.brightness_kitchen`
- in the dashboard card, call the template : `room_card_slider`
- automation :
```yaml
alias: Brightness gauge kitchen
description: ""
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- input_number.brightness_kitchen
to: null
- platform: state
entity_id:
- light.kitchen
to: "off"
condition: []
action:
- if:
- condition: state
entity_id: light.kitchen
state: "off"
then:
- service: input_number.set_value
metadata: {}
data:
value: 1
target:
entity_id: input_number.brightness_kitchen
else:
- variables:
value: "{{ states('input_number.brightness_kitchen') | int }}"
- if:
- condition: state
entity_id: light.bubl1
state: "on"
then:
- service: light.turn_on
data:
transition: 2
brightness_pct: "{{ value }}"
target:
entity_id: light.bulb1
- if:
- condition: state
...etc...
````
Click to view the information
- Clicking on the `cog`icon ⚙️ at the bottom of the `Activity card` takes you to the `settings sub-view`.
- This is where you can choose the elements that the `Activity card` should display, with simple `input boolean`, for example `input.boolean_light`
All elements are dynamic with `conditional card`, so if they are activated but do not contain any information, the Activity card will not display them.
For example, if I choose to display lights in the menu, the card will only display the "Lights" line if there are any lights turned on.
This allows for a less cluttered card.
I have divided my Activity card into 4 categories:
- Program : Family calendar, Drash can calendar, Bhirtday, School holidays
- Alert : All warnings from my system (sensor template)
- Home : Everything that is turned on, activated
- Information : All updates (HA, HACS, etc...) and if there are none, as well as no warnings, I receive an information message from [Savoir Inutile](https://www.savoir-inutile.com/)
The small round and colorful dots next to the calendar icon, trash cans, and electricity consumption are indicators :
- calendar : Blue if the event is today.
- Trash can : The color of the trash can (green or yellow) if I need to take it out today.
- Electricity consumption : Blue: normal consumption / Yellow: moderate / Orange: high / Red: very high.

The third column consists of camera recordings.
To ensure that the images refresh in real-time, I created generic camera entities.
It's a brilliant trick!
Because an picture card doesn't refresh on its own...
And I use [Doods2 (My French documentation)](https://github.com/herveaurel/Docs/tree/main/Doods2) for human recognition.
```yaml
camera.yaml
- platform: local_file
file_path: /media/detections/verifications/camera.entree/verifiee.jpg
name: entree_verifiee

⚠️ Be sure to read the [CHANGELOG file ](https://github.com/herveaurel/HomeAssistant/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md)
Click to view the information
This Person card is full of surprises!
I am using :
- the sensors from the phones with the `Home Assistant mobile app`
- the sensors from the `Apple iCloud integration` for my children.
- `Proximity`
- `Waze`
- as well as several `sensor templates`.
Refer to template button card `person_complete_card`
The icon is automatically the one chosen during the creation of a zone! And I've set a default icon if the zone is unknown.
Click to view the information
I use two weather integrations :
- `Meteorologisk institutt (Met.no)`
- `Météo France`
For the family calendar, I retrieve information from the Apple Family Sharing calendar using the integration `CalDAV`
For the trash bins, I have created a `local calendar` for each type of bin.
Click to view the information
1. 1st column: HA startup duration (`Uptime` integration)+ Raspberry and SSD performance (`System Monitor`Integration)
2. 2nd column: 3 parts:
- RPI power supply + modem status + Mesh WiFi Router states
- Scripts for: backup + restart HA + restart Mesh WiFi Router + reboot Alexa Media Player integration (sometimes needed to update alarm information)
```yaml
alias: Backup full HA
sequence:
- service: hassio.backup_full
data:
compressed: true
mode: single
icon: mdi:cloud-upload
````
```yaml
alias: Restart HA
sequence:
- service: homeassistant.restart
data: {}
mode: single
````
- System-wide warnings
3. 3rd column: All updates (HA, HACS, add-ons, etc...). The circular gauges represent the used RAM. To have this entity, it needs to be enabled (disabled by default) in the `Home Assistant Supervisor`integration.
Click to view the information
The gauges are created using the template button card: `climat_card`.
You need to install [apexcharts-card](https://github.com/RomRider/apexcharts-card) for it to work.

Similar to the lights tab, I like to find all my devices on a sub-view page.

A new card entirely written in the "button card" template called `vacuum_header`!
And in the template button card named `vacuum_name` you'll need to modify your entities. After that, everything will be automatic.
To enable transparent background around the card, modify this code in the YAML configuration file: `color_map_outside: [0xFF,0x00,0x0,0x000]`
I love it! Paired with the slightly customized `custom:xiaomi-vacuum-map-card`, it's perfect!
I have also created `scripts`, which I have injected into `Alexa`, to control robots by voice and do much more than just 'vacuuming' ! [(My French documentation)](https://github.com/herveaurel/Docs/tree/main/Aspirateur)
Wall-E (Roborock S6) and R2-D2 (Roborock S50) can work properly !

For information on the duration of the lights being on today, yesterday, and this week :
- Exemple for Today, in `sensor.yaml`, create `history_stats` :
```yaml
- platform: history_stats
name: Lumières allumées durée aujourd'hui
entity_id: light.tout
state: "on"
type: time
start: "{{ now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0) }}"
end: "{{ now() }}"
````
- In `sensor.yaml`, create `sensor template` :
```yaml
- platform: template
sensors:
duree_lumieres_allumees:
friendly_name: Durée des lumières allumées aujourd'hui
value_template: >-
{% set heures_str = states.sensor.lumieres_allumees_duree_aujourd_hui.state %}
{% set heures = heures_str | float %}
{%- set heures_int = heures | int -%}
{%- set minutes = (heures * 60) - (heures_int * 60) -%}
{%- set secondes = (heures * 3600) % 60 -%}
{% if heures_int >= 1 %}{{ heures_int | int }}h {% endif %}{% if minutes >= 1 %}{{ minutes | int }}min {% endif %}{{ secondes | int }}sec

- A new card entirely written in the `decluttering-template` format : `music`!
- We need to create a sensor template to retrieve volume information.
- After that, writing the card in the dashboard is very simple!
```yaml
type: custom:decluttering-card
template: music
variables:
- entity: media_player.la_salle_de_bain
- gauge: sensor.salle_de_bain_progression
````

In the bathroom, I've created `Water Sounds` but it wasn't simple.
I'm using water sound detection via the Alexa Echo.
But it doesn't come up in Home Assistant.
So, I did this:
- I created and injected an `input_button` into Alexa : `input_button.bruits_de_l_eau`
- I created and injected an `input_boolean` into HA : `input_boolean.bruits_deau_sdb`
- I created a routine in Alexa that activates the `input_button` when water is detected.
- Automatisation Home Assistant :
```yaml
alias: Bruits d’eau sdb
description: ""
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- input_button.bruits_de_l_eau
- platform: template
value_template: >-
{{as_timestamp(now()) -
as_timestamp(states.input_button.bruits_de_l_eau.last_changed) > 80 }}
condition: []
action:
- if:
- condition: template
value_template: >-
{{as_timestamp(now()) -
as_timestamp(states.input_button.bruits_de_l_eau.last_changed) > 80
}}
then:
- service: input_boolean.turn_off
data: {}
target:
entity_id: input_boolean.bruits_deau_sdb
else:
- service: input_boolean.turn_on
data: {}
target:
entity_id: input_boolean.bruits_deau_sdb
mode: restart
````
Then, I created a `history-graph` card and an `custom:apexcharts-card` based on the `input_boolean.bruits_deau_sdb`, and now I can cry while looking at my children's abuses! 😩

This is one of the widely used French systems to have all the information about a child's schooling: the agenda, grades, evaluations, averages, homework assignments, punishments, tardiness, and more.
All of this is made possible thanks to the fantastic work of [delphiki ](https://github.com/delphiki) :
- [Pronote ](https://github.com/delphiki/hass-pronote)
- [Pronote Cards ](https://github.com/delphiki/lovelace-pronote)

To send personalized voice announcements, you need to install [alexa_media_player](https://github.com/alandtse/alexa_media_player) and to create a `input_text` and a `script`.
Here's an example for my bathroom:
- `input_text`, exemple : `input_text.annonce_dans_salle_de_bain`
- `script`
```yaml
alias: Annonce dans salle de bain
sequence:
- data:
data:
type: announce
message: "{{ states.input_text.annonce_dans_salle_de_bain.state}}"
target:
- media_player.la_salle_de_bain
service: notify.alexa_media
mode: single
icon: mdi:speaker-message

## CHANGELOG
[**Read the CHANGELOG file** ](https://github.com/herveaurel/HomeAssistant/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md)
## INSTALLATION
⚠️ **I am not a developer. It's not a one-click setup!**
Some knowledge is required before diving in:
- Install a few HACS integrations necessary for proper functionality.
The unavoidable :
[Decluttering Card ](https://github.com/custom-cards/decluttering-card)
_Reuse multiple times the same card configuration with variables to declutter your config_
[lovelace-card-mod ](https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod)
_Add CSS styles_
[lovelace-layout-card ](https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card)
_Get more control over the placement of lovelace cards_
[vertical-stack-in-card ](https://github.com/ofekashery/vertical-stack-in-card)
_To group multiple cards into a single sleek card_
[button-card ](https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card)
_Lovelace button-card_
[alexa_media_player](https://github.com/alandtse/alexa_media_player)
_Allow control of Amazon Alexa devices_
[apexcharts-card](https://github.com/RomRider/apexcharts-card)
_Higly customizable graph card_
[Lovelace Mini Graph Card](https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card)
_Minimalistic graph card_
[Paper Buttons Row](https://github.com/jcwillox/lovelace-paper-buttons-row)
_Adds highly configurable buttons that use actions and per-state styling_
[bar-card](https://github.com/custom-cards/bar-card)
_Customizable Animated Bar card_
[swipe-card](https://github.com/bramkragten/swipe-card)
_A Lovelace card that uses swiper to create a touch slider that lets you flick through multiple cards_
- I advise you to copy all the `decluttering templates` and `button card templates`. Create the right `sensor templates` : I use them extensively and call them throughout the cards.
- Know where to copy and paste each part, whether it's the sensor templates, the contents of Lovelace, or the button card templates.
- Adjust the entities, remove the unnecessary ones, etc...
You need to adapt it to your configuration!
I recommend that you install and use my themes for perfect optimization of my codes. If you prefer to use other themes, copy the "Additions for my lovelace" part into your favorite theme.
And then starting to copy pieces of Lovelace.
