Summary

Unofficial extension to quickly access your Home Assistant dashboard from everywhere

=== Setup ===

Open your configuration.yaml file and add the following lines, then restart Home Assistant. http: use_x_frame_options: false

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

Was looking for something very simple to pup the dashboard in chrome, it does exactly that. Suggestion for developer: I wish i could pin the popped up window so that it stays open.
