Unofficial extension to quickly access your Home Assistant dashboard from everywhere

=== Setup ===

In your Lovelace dashboard, create a new view and add a few cards that you want to see in your extension

Here are a few tips:

  • If you have only one card, activate the "panel mode" option for a better look
  • If you want to match your browser color scheme, you can choose a specific theme just for this view
  • You can completely hide the view if you don't want it to show in your existing dashboard, it won't affect the extension
