# Dashboards Overview

## Overview

3 custom Lovelace dashboards are configured in Home Assistant (storage mode), plus the default Lovelace dashboard. All use the storage-mode editor (not YAML mode).

## Home View

**URL:** `/home-view` | **Admin only:** yes | **Icon:** `mdi:home`

The primary home control dashboard. Restricted to admin users.

**Likely content (inferred from devices):**
- Room-by-room light and switch controls
- Climate/thermostat control (ecobee)
- Media player controls (Samsung TV, soundbars)
- Security camera feeds (go2rtc WebRTC)
- Cover/blind controls
- Lock status
- Presence indicators (Rajeev Iyer)
- Energy monitoring tiles
- UPS status

**HACS cards likely used:**
- Bubble Card (Clooos) — modern room/device cards
- Slider Button Card — dimmer controls
- Comfortable Environment Card — climate display
- Keep Texts in Tabs — tab navigation
- Energy Sankey Card — energy flow visualization
- TrashCard — garbage collection schedule

## Map

**URL:** `/map` | **Admin only:** no | **Icon:** `mdi:map`

Standard HA map dashboard showing:
- Person/device tracker locations
- Configured zones (Home, Work, Rajeeta Home)
- Device tracker entities for mobile devices and vehicle telematics

---

## Plants

**URL:** `/plant-care` | **Admin only:** no | **Icon:** `mdi:flower`

Dedicated plant care dashboard using data from:
- Third Reality soil moisture sensors (Gen1 + Gen2, via Zigbee2MQTT + ZHA)
- Irrigation watering history helpers (`input_datetime.*_last_watered`, `input_number.*_last_run_duration`)
- Orbit BHyve zone status

**Likely content:**
- Per-plant moisture level gauges
- Last watered date/time
- Last run duration
- BHyve next watering schedule
- Zone valve status

---

## Default Dashboard

The built-in default Lovelace dashboard (auto-generated) also exists at `/lovelace` but is not listed as a custom storage-mode dashboard — it uses HA's auto-entities feature.

## Frontend Customizations (HACS Plugins)

These HACS plugins extend dashboard capabilities:

| Plugin | Author | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Bubble Card | Clooos | Modern pop-up room/device cards |
| Slider Button Card | custom-cards | Dimmer/fan slider controls |
| Comfortable Environment Card | argaar | Temperature + humidity comfort display |
| Keep Texts in Tabs | elchininet | Tab labels in card navigation |
| Weather Chart Card | mlamberts78 | Multi-day weather forecast chart |
| Energy Sankey Card | davet2001 | Energy flow Sankey diagram |
| Zigbee2mqtt Networkmap Card | azuwis | Zigbee mesh network topology map |
| TrashCard | idaho | Garbage collection schedule card |

## Notes / Gotchas

- The Home View dashboard is admin-only — non-admin Lovelace users will not see it in the sidebar.
- WebRTC camera cards (using the WebRTC Camera HACS integration by AlexxIT) provide low-latency live views; they require go2rtc to be running.
- The Plants dashboard data is only as accurate as the automation-populated helpers — if an irrigation cycle is manually interrupted before completion, the last run duration may be incorrect.
- Weather Chart Card uses the Met.no `Forecast Home` weather entity.
