What is Mushroom dashboard strategy ?

Mushroom dashboard strategy provides a strategy for Home assistant to automatically create a dashboard using Mushroom cards, the area configuration and entity configuration.

My goal is to propose a way to create powerful dashaboards without the need of spending hours manualy creating them.

Note: This is my first javascript code and github repository. Any recomendations are always welcome

Features

  • 🛠 Automatically create dashboard with 3 lines of yaml
  • 😍 Built-in Views for device specific controls
  • 🎨 Many options to customize to your needs

Installation

Preresquisites

You need to install these cards first before using this strategy

HACS

Mushroom dashboard strategy is available in HACS (Home Assistant Community Store).

  1. Install HACS if you don't have it already
  2. Open HACS in Home Assistant
  3. Go to "Frontend" section
  4. Click 3 dots on top right and custom repository
  5. Add https://github.com/AalianKhan/mushroom-strategy with catagory Lovelace
  6. Search for "Mushroom strategy" and install

Manual

  1. Download mushroom-strategy.js file from the dist directory.
  2. Put mushroom-strategy.js file into your config/www folder.
  3. Add reference to mushroom-strategy.js in Dashboard. There's two way to do that:

      resources:
          - url: /local/mushroom-strategy.js
            type: module

  2. Click Edit Dashboard.
  3. Click 3 dots again

  5. Add these lines
strategy:
  type: custom:mushroom-strategy
views: []

Hidding specific entities

When first creating this dashboard, you probably have many entities that you don't want to see.

You can easily hide these entities by holding the entity > Click the cog icon at the top right corner of the popup > Click Advanced settings > Set entity status to hidden. Refresh the page and it should update

Views

Adding devices to areas

You can easiy add devices to an area by going to Settings found at the bottom of the sidebar > Click Devices and integration > Select the integration of your device > Click the device you wish to add > Click the pencil icon found at the top right corner > Enter an area in area field. You can also set an entity of that device to a different area by going to advanced settings of that entity.

If you created a entity in your configuratation.yaml you may need to enter a unique_id first before you set an area to it. See docs

Strategy options

You can set strategy options to further customize the dashboard. It has the following available options
