In today’s video, we’re taking a look at 5 Custom Cards that you can add to your Home Assistant dashboard. 🚀
If you’re not familiar with HACS (Home Assistant Community Store), it’s the go-to place for installing new themes, integrations, templates, and — in this case — custom dashboard cards. These cards can really take your Home Assistant setup to the next level with better visuals, easier navigation, and more flexibility.
In this video we are checking out:
* ⏱ **Time Flow Card** – Countdown timers for events with full styling support
* 👆 **Simple Swipe Card** – Swipe through multiple cards with ease
* 📊 **Mini Graph Card** – Beautiful, customizable graphs
* 📂 **Expander Card** – Collapsible rows to organize info
* 🗂 **Tabbed Card** – Add tabbed navigation to your dashboards
You’ll need HACS installed first (I won’t cover the setup in this video), but if you don’t have it yet, check out my guide here: [How to Install HACS in Home Assistant](youtu.be/XXXXX).
As always, the video is timestamped, and I’ve linked the GitHub/HACS repos for each card below. 👇
