HA Dashboard

This section collects Home Assistant dashboard topics that are not individual cards and not integrations.

Dashboard Extensions

Project	Status	Note
Dashboard Layout Card V2	experimental	Fork of Lovelace layout-card with dedicated V2 layout types, side tab menu, subviews, new subviews defaulting to Sections V2, home entry, theme inheritance from the home view, clock/date display, optional analog hour/minute marks, colors, 3D frames, dividers that inherit colors from the previous divider, notification box, status values and optional hiding of the Home Assistant header/sidebar.

The V2 layouts appear in the normal Home Assistant view layout selector next to the standard layouts.

Sections V2 views behave close to Home Assistant's native Sections view in edit mode. Sections can be moved with the three-line drag handle, and the new order is saved back to the view.

Note: Portrait images work best for menu backgrounds. A practical aspect ratio is about 1:2.5 width:height. Other formats are supported, but cover may crop them depending on the visible menu area. Only use images you own or images with a compatible free/open-source license.

Notification And Status Values

The optional notification box appears above the status values in the side menu. A text helper such as input_text.dashboard_notification is recommended. While the entity is missing, empty, unknown or unavailable, the box remains hidden. If the helper does not exist yet, the editor shows a short hint explaining how to create the text helper.

As soon as the helper contains text, the message appears in the menu, for example for faults, maintenance notes or short dashboard-wide alerts. Up to four status values can be shown below it. Numeric values are formatted compactly with at most one decimal place.
