Dwains Dashboard with Mushroom Cards - How to set up - In-depth Tutorial

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

What do you think of the new Dwains Dashboard? Have you tried it yet? Or is it not for you at all? Let me know in the comments!

[@frankb.modelling3116]

I was very happy about the things i see in your nice Video. so i treid it, but was not working with the last release of HA and Dwains.......

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

@@frankb.modelling3116 Not sure. Might be a bug in Dwains. You can check this on the github of Dwains Dashboard.

[@wesleyna8426]

One year later and this video is still great to have as help. I do have one question, how do i enable Kiosk mode on the dwain dashboard since i dont have acces to the standerd "edit dashboard" function.

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

@@wesleyna8426 I don't think you can.

[@krunoslavpavlovic6888]

Hi. All I get is "custom element doesn't exist: dwains-dashboard-layout." But when I look at the custom components the file is there. How do I fix this?

[@frason85]

Super cool! I had no idea there is such an easy way to get a good looking dashboard. Even changing the pop ups in a simple way. I wish i had watched this video before putting a bunch of hours in trying to get a somewhat acceptable dashboard... I think I will take the necessary steps changing to this, or at least try it out in a test environment. Great job Dwain developing the dashboard. And well done Ed making an informative video 🙏

[@fdksdk4843]

Learned some tips/tricks and usage of blueprints. Thank you!

[@edwaaij4752]

Geweldige video. Ook fijn dat je zo uitgebreid en niet oppervlakkig op de mogelijkheden in gaat. Geweldig!! ik heb weer een paar weken zoet om alle mogelijkheden toe te passen. Zou graag zien dat je meer van dit soort In-depth video zou maken, een gat in de markt lijkt me.

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

Niet alleen een gat in de markt, maar ook een gat in mijn tijd vrees ik ;)

[@peterboudewijn9119]

Super video's! Ben al wat langer met automatisering bezig, maar sinds kort pas in HA gedoken, had ik veel eerder moeten doen! Zeker met de duidelijke uitleg in je video's :) ga zo door!

[@geirvalsvik1780]

Great video as always. This is definately my goto youtube channel when it comes to HA!! I installed Dwains Dashboard after watching this video. Configured it, and it looks really great, especially I like it on my mobile device. Thanks for all the great instructions on home assistant!

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

Thanks!

[@sevagj.b]

I so confusing 😂 but you explain it perfectly, I installed from the last time but I will play with it again, Thanks Ed👌🏻

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

Thank you! Make sure you update to the latest version first.

[@vidarg75]

Thanks for an informative video. I was waiting for you to explain the header or top menu (at the bottom in mobile).

[@TheDiabeticWay]

Thank you love following your videos!

[@rincovanderbeek4725]

Thanks for your great videos and this nice explanation of Dwains Dashboard setup. With regards to the blueprint installation; currently, the yaml code input field is not popping up (issue released). As a workaround, you can create a yaml file with the blueprint code and put it in the dwains dashboard blueprint directory. Then go back to dwains dashboard add-page blueprints and you will see it also.

[@MikeBookham]

Thanks for the detailed instructions. Though after spending a lot of time trying to set up Dwains Dashboard, it's a shame that it now appears to be an abandoned integration with various unresolved issues. I would advise others not to waste thier time on this because they will soon come across flaws like i have and end up looking at alternatives.

[@jean-lucbezzina8382]

Hello Thank you for your tutorials and especially this one which allows us to embellish the pages. But how do you manage to have icons of this size on the main maps, bedroom, kitchen and others THANKS . best wishes 👋

[@xbox360benji]

So glad I found this thank you for sharing !

[@xbox360benji]

Only problem I have is its not working on mobile..

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

This should work on mobile...

[@xbox360benji]

@@SmartHomeJunkie I know but all I get is the same page I got on pc till I refreshed screen. Refresh on mobile just gives me same broken screen ..I will keep trying though because it looks so good 👍crazy thing is its working on my partners phone and we have the same Samsung s9..

[@MisterFreddyX]

Thank you!!! Is it possible to have a drop down menu within the cards for WLED Presets?

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

You might be able to do this with a select helper.

[@cryptoscp3000]

Great video, but I need your help. When trying to add more pages, and add a blueprint it doesn't appear the line to add YAML code. Any tip to fix that?

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

I think it's a bug that has just been fixed. See HACS for the update.

[@JamboM23]

Great Video! Did you have to manually add the climate badge? When I install it it only pulls in badges for lights, switches, motion and locks? I have thermostats and they show under the relevant rooms but not as a climate badge?

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

Hmmm... No, I don't think I had to do something manually

[@MJ_173]

hey smarthomejunkie great video again. I have a question: Does anyone know how to create that badges card with people and all devices that are turned on?"

[@TheNikesh85]

Hi Ed, amazing video, as always! Thanks for making them. I have one question. I am not able to delete the tabs or page that I had initially created using the More pages option. I could delete the pages in the More pages menu but the tabs remain as they are... Have you tried this out? Would appreciate your response. Thanks!

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

Actually I am not using this dashboard anymore, but maybe you can ask on the Discord of Dwains.

[@luisgil5699]

Great video mate! I already installed and uninstalled but after your video now I went for a second chance. Only one question, every time I open a pop up ink any level of the dashboard is popping a blanc window with a . on the header and once you click the setting section of the pop up it read This entity (‘.’) does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI. Please help!! Because now is poping even out of the dashboard and is hyper-annoying

[@luckyman7471]

I have the same problem:(

[@Stile30]

Question: how to add to open history graph when you click on Mushroom Template card? I want to open same history chart which is opened when you click on entity card. I goggled and I tried to find on KZbin but I failed. Is it possible and if it is, how? None of the options under "click action" did not work. Thanks.

[@mauritsharmsen]

Wat een goede tutorial. Dank je wel! Ik zie alleen niet de optie om de titel van een more-page aan te passen. Is dit veranderd sinds het maken van deze tutorial?

[@sjoerde1]

Great video! Just starting with Dwains Dashboard, and this video is a great inspiration. Can you explain how you test your mobile dashboard? It seems you are doing this in a seperate webbrowser?

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that my video has inspired you. When it comes to testing my mobile dashboard, just press F12 in Chrome and you can view the site in different resolutions.

[@MrDacianova]

Hi, Super instructive this video but please if you can help me with a problem: On my PC after clearing the cache, all the entities appeared, instead I have a problem with my phone. It gives me an error: "Custom element doesn't exist: dwains-dashbord-layout." and I don't know how to solve it. I also gave clear chase to Home Assistant on the phone. Do you know how I can fix this error? Thanks

[@craiglindholm6338]

How do you go about grouping areas by floor? I can’t find any information on how to do it.

[@richreinke4918]

Hello ..This is all great info. I am curious what device you are running HA instance on? I am using Raspberry Pi4. current version 2022.8.4 I am finding that this pretty much crashes the system when i am on Dwains dashboard. i can change a few things but a refresh needed to see any changes. This usually happens when the system crashes and it's more prevalent when attempting to connect with mobile at same time just curious if you have updated to the latest and if so are you seeing any problems? Thanks

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

My production environment is a Home Assistant Blue (Odroid N2 Plus) and my testing environment is a Raspberry Pi 4 with SSD.

[@allabouttechnologyandgaming]

You can please make a tutorial how to add the automation option in hacs like I see at 0:53?

[@tgsparkyoriginal]

I have watched your video over and over and I can't get any of the YAML blueprints from the DWAINS github to work. I paste it in and press the install blueprint and it does nothing. It's like I havent even pasted anything. Not sure what I'm doing wrong

[@Paullik83]

Brilliant job. Thanks

[@SeattleSandro]

Do you use Dwain's dashboard as your default dashboard, your more responsive dashboard with the multiple sections or a combination? There are some idiosyncrasies with Dwain's dashboard that I don't love. I'm hardly an expert on dashboard design so I'm still experimenting to see what works best for me and I'm willing to try various types of dashboards until I either find one that works the best or I learn enough to design my perfect dashboard.

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

I do not use Dwains Dashboard. I use the responsive dashboard that I created a video about as well.

[@MagnusThornberg]

I'm so happy I found your channel. Is there any way to get smaller cards för Area? I want to see more icons on my mobile.

[@MagnusThornberg]

I also want a slider on the area card to change all lights in that area at once.

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

Thank you. I'm not sure. It's been a while since I used this dashboard. 🙄

[@Timichaud]

This channel is so Zen! Haha or extremely Zen if I compare it to an other of my favorite channel "Paul Hibbert" who is the complete opposite. Thank you to both of you to make IoT at home a nice hobby!

[@Robbrown92]

I'm having an issue with the blueprints for the pages, I add a new page blueprint loads but when I click on it in the more pages it just reverse to the Home Screen

[@stevephipps9305]

Well done. Info overload will come back for 2nd half.

Hi I do not have option to add blueprint. There is no empty space at all. I tried using Chrome browser and edge browser

[@MT-yo3mg]

Hi Ed, Awesome video. I am pretty new to HA (said goodbye to Fibaro), so still finding my way. Very helpful video, thanks! One question which I do have for now: let's say I have a lamp, which not smart, but made smart using a plug (SHelly Plug S in my case). HA works with it perfectly, but how/where do I overrule something to make it a 'lamp' device and not a 'switch' (schakelaar) device as it is by default? Dank je wel! Thanks, Martin

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

Hey Martin, in the entity settings for the entity you can select Show As and then select for light.

[@MT-yo3mg]

@@SmartHomeJunkie Awesome! Once you know where to find it, it's easy! :) Thanks!

[@christian1603]

Am I correct, but is there no dropdown card in mushroom ? Or is there a work-around ?

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

You are correct, but you can use a drop down helper and show that in a mushroom entity card.

[@christian1603]

@@SmartHomeJunkie That's what I did. It is nice when unfold, but to change the value you get the info/settings/related window with the standard dropdown...not very nice, isn't it ?

Hi how do you handle connection from outside your home? Quick note i hope to finish the first translation tomorrow.

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

Wow, that's awesome! Thank you Sam! I personally use DuckDNS and nginx reverse proxy, but Nabu Casa is the easiest solution. I know it costs a little bit of money, but you support the developers and the growth of HA with it It's not that I don't want to pay for the service of HA. I sponsor one of the developers directly.

[@kapil550]

Sir all TV remote card and other custom cards are not showing in the card list, please can you suggest what i am going wrong

I am not sure. If this is a bug, then you can add an issue to the Dwains Dashboard Github space.

Thanks a lot for the video. I have a question for you. In the area icons, in your configuration is possible to see the miniature icon for lights, switchs, and door sensors in the top right corners in some areas, but in my case only can see lights and switch mini icons, not for the door sensors. How I can see these mini icons for the door sensors?. Thanks and regards.

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

Thx. Please check if your door sensors are connected to the area in Home Assistant. If they are, they should be visible as an icon in the area tile.

[@shannonbreaux8442]
