Little progress update on my tablet dashboard project ๐
This release I focused on adding animations throughout the UI, to match the mobile version. All of it is handled inside Home Assistant too, no external APIs or anything like that.
For anyone seeing this for the first time, I have a tablet mounted on the kitchen wall that basically acts as a control panel for the whole house. Lights, cameras, curtains, automations, you name it. It's built using a bunch of HACS cards that I've pieced together over time.
The theme is Material You so I can change the color of the whole dashboard on the fly from a color picker in the UI, which is a small thing, but I love it. It's also using Google Material-style buttons and light sliders, Mushroom cards, Button Card, and a few others.
One of my favourite bits, the tablet wakes up and turns off automatically based on the mmWave sensor detecting if someone's in the kitchen. So it's not just glowing on the wall all day for no reason.
Going to be uploading the full code to Github probably sometime next week to finish off all the rooms and animations.
