Settings file¶

Starter config for the card¶
When you use the dashboard card, its config: block works as a shared starting point for every user. Keys:
| key | meaning |
|---|---|
title |
title top left |
language |
en or nl (leave out to follow Home Assistant) |
rooms |
auto or a list of area ids or names, in navigation order |

photo paths; {slug} is replaced by the room name |
home.weather, home.climate, home.alarm |
entity ids for the home view |

sensors for the header (default: average of the rooms) |
home.scenes |
list of scene ids |
