Home Assistant

A quick shortcut to your Home Assistant

The Home Assistant Chrome extension offers rapid access to your personalized Home Assistant dashboard from any location. This unofficial tool allows you to configure your dashboard view specifically for the extension by adjusting themes, layout modes, and visibility, ensuring a seamless and tailored smart home management experience.

Setup involves simple configuration in your Home Assistant's yaml file and selection of preferred dashboard cards. Features like panel mode optimization for single cards, color scheme matching, and header cropping enhance usability.
