Usage

We made Marao Dashboard easy to use but you need to know a few basics.

Variables and entries

All of the cards are using the default entries from Home Assistant and variables set in the template cards from Marao Dashboard. Almost most of the cards require at least one of them and sometimes both.

For example, the light cards requires you to add a light entity which you can enter through the entity: entry.

  - type: custom:marao-card
    template: hc_light_card
    entity: light.livingroom

Light Button Default

It is also possible to change the name of the light by giving the name: entry, like so:

  - type: custom:marao-card
    template: hc_light_card
    entity: light.livingroom
    name: My Awesome Light

Light Button Default

With variables, you can change certain aspects in the card, eg. enabling the slider

  - type: custom:marao-card
    template: hc_light_card
    entity: light.livingroom
    name: My Awesome Light
    variables:
      enable_slider: true

Light Button Default

Every card you will see on this documentation page have all the needed and optional variables described. Based on round color, you can see if its a Home Assistant default Entry or a variable from Marao Dashboard.
