You mentioned to let you know in the comments if we'd like to see a video on your tablet dashboards, so: Yes! Please please please do a video on tablet dashboards!
Like you I saw Reed's video on the dashboards and decided to do it. I made one for my phone then I just duplicated it for my wife. She then told me what she like, wanted, and didn't want. I just tweek hers for her requests and we both have the dashboard we want. Also, by her having me make adjustments to her dashboard, I no longer get the annoyed wife saying were do I go for this or that.
Always been a bit too scared to mess with my dashboard but this looks super manageable! I'll have to give it a go this weekend, thanks for the inspiration.
Very clever way to simplify what is seen on the dashboards.
Recently did this for my home assistant setup and love it. Added tones of entities in visibility as an ‘or’ to speed up dashboards changing. Super easy to control things in the room your in even when majority of the time spent in automating means most things just work without manual interaction.
Reed's video really inspired everyone, didn't it 😅 I don't yet have BLE presence detection working reliably yet, so one of the things I added to my own take on this project was a set of three buttons at the top under the room selector that would quickly switch it to Auto, the computer room, or my bedroom. It's been quite useful in the interim at the very least to check and adjust rooms I'm not yet in, and I suspect that I might keep them even once I get tracking working more reliably.
Saw Reed's video on this a few weeks ago and got a basic proof of concept running, thanks for motivating me to return to it.
While I have followed Reed for a while, you have helped me far more with HA, Docker-Compose, Portainer, et al. Thank you!
I've been toying with completely redoing my dashboard now there have been improvements like this made. I had not really done a lot sicne Lovelace was introduced as it did what I needed, and there hadn't been huge improvements to the dashboards until recently. You made this all look pretty easy, and I mighttake the plunge and redo my dashboard now.
Absolutely genius! Love the design and the conditional dashboard.
Awesome , this is the kind what stock dashboard should come with. I stopped using HA due to many customisation required to kick start the usage…
Super awesome! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
This is amazing! I saw this on Reed's channel too and was blown away. I'm still tweaking which devices we want to see on which dashboards (that's me and my wife) and I'll probably nick a couple of your ideas. I've also used espresence based room presence as the basis for an Alexa voice command we can use if we leave our phone in a room and can't remember which room it's in. "Alexa, where did you last see my phone?" Sort of thing. This runs a script in Home Assistant that announces which room the phone is in. Works really well. I'm still having teething problems getting consistent room presence from each espresence device as we have a modern timber frame structure house with internal stud walls. Just when I think I've got all the absorption and max distance setings sorted it throws up something bizarre. It's about 90% there.
Great job on this video Alan. I'm not yet ready for a full implementation of this, but nevertheless, I got a lot of ideas. Thanks for all your efforts here.
Awesome video and great you gave a shout out to Reed.
Great video as always would love to see the tablet dashboards
Yes, my friend, please make a video for your other dashboards. Thanks for your patient. 🤗
Thanks for this, it does look really cool. I will certainly give it a try.
at 1:17 you walk into a dark room. you could make an automation that automatically turns on the lights not when the sensor detects you (which obviously takes some time) but as soon as the door opens, if the lights in the first room are on. then you can use the sensors to decide which lights to turn off. just an idea. 2:23 actually, i subscribed to BOTH his channels.
