I've been putting this off for way too long but I finally installed the LCARs theme in my HA and got to work redesigning all my dashboards.

This is really cool.
But what's that top left panel for? I can't read the label for it because it's not in English.

I'm sorry, I don't speak French

This is very nice.

I should really install a wall panel, this is art.

Is this the LCARS theme on HACS or another solution?

I was hoping to set up a tablet at some point with it to get the WAF up (she’s somewhat of a trekker)

that's the one. picard theme.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Hell yeah! It looks so good. This got cross posted to a trek community (tenforward I think) and people dig it. Considering how much work is being done on voice control for HomeAssistsnt lately,’I’d love to see more adoption based solely on having a complete LCARS system for people’s own nerdy enjoyment 😄

Do you have a video of it in action? I’d love to see that and or a video on how you did this.

Just pull up the git repo for the theme and follow the steps. It's mostly just installing the fonts and getting themes and card-mod installed and working.

Where’s the repo? I don’t see a link. Really nice work!

Oh my! Set phasers to stunning!

Awesome! my dream of 90's come true! 👏

Does it make the bleeps when you press buttons and move sliders ?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

The panels are both on Pis but I'm sure I could put a little speaker on the gpio pins. Not sure what HA has for built in sound support on button events...,

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

Holy shit! This is awesome. I’ve been looking for something like this for YEARS!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Very nice! I'm running the same thing with card mod!

Some nitpicks, your light buttons swap those to be left to right, then they'll line up with the bar, or swap the header to swoop right. Same thing with the guages.

I also changed the headers to "Environmental", "Ops", "Engineering", the wife loved that lol.

How did you do the graph in the bottom? Maybe there's an update I don't have...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Fixed! I should definitely do an ops-engineering-....

The graph is a sensor card at the bottom of the vert stack with the footer class.

type: vertical-stack
cards:
  - type: markdown
    card_mod:
      class: header
    content: '# Network'
  - type: entities
    entities:
      - entity: sensor.netgear_r7000_external_ip
        name: External IP
      - entity: sensor.netgear_r7000_kib_s_received
        name: Download Traffic
      - entity: sensor.netgear_r7000_kib_s_sent
        name: Upload Traffic
    card_mod:
      class: middle
  - graph: line
    type: sensor
    entity: sensor.netgear_r7000_kib_s_received
    detail: 2
    hours_to_show: 4
    name: Download Traffic
    card_mod:
      class: footer-contained
[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Nice! I didn't know you could apply the footer to another entity card.. that's a good idea! I'll have to change mine around. The latest HA update broke my styles though, I may have to re-add them

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

That looks gorgeous!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

This looks great!

Is this finally the use for a tablet I've been looking for? I could actually see this mounted on my wall.

I keep buying the damn things every few years, hoping to find a use for them. Every single one has ended up in a drawer within a month until I just give them away to someone.
