I decided to build my own professional IHD setup

Thought people might like to see what I've built recently that lives in my kitchen.

Ingredients

HomeAssistant
Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus
Anker Fire HD 10 Plus Wireless Charging Dock
Fire Toolbox Software to decrapify the tablet and sideload Google Play.
WallPanel App

The cool thing about this, is I've configured the camera as a proximity sensor in WallPanel, so when no one is around, the display dims to 99%, and immediately wakes up when someone gets near.

All built for little money, and way better than my rubbish IHD provided originally by SSE.

Very nice. Well done. Is there much coding involved and/or would you consider giving instructions...

michaelhoskins Wasn't that hard really. No coding as such, but quite a bit of YAML usage on the dashboard.

I don't think I could write up instructions.....would take too much time, but basically, just designed the dashboard, and used a few tweaks.

Mainly, stack-in-cards (available via HACS), and WallPanel addon (Also via HACS, used mainly to hide the sidebar and top bar).

Not sure if it bothers you but you can adjust the heights of the cards so they line up at the bottom with card_mod:

You'll need to add this the any card you want to change and experiment with the height setting. Weather card for example:

type: weather-forecast
entity: weather.home
card_mod:
  style:
    .: |
      ha-card {
        min-height: 259px !important;
      }

It's not as bad as when the developer of the card-mod component decided to make everyone's dashboards wonky as an April Fools joke.

SpeakToTheGeek That would provoke a strongly worded email..

SpeakToTheGeek Brilliant. I love it ... I'm a fan of anyone with a (non-distructive) sense of humour.
