# Home Assistant Dashboard Conventions
|
|
|
|
## Card Types
|
|
|
|
| Allowed ✅ | Forbidden 🚫 |
|
|
|------------|--------------|
|
|
| Mushroom cards | Bubble Cards (revoked/abandoned) |
|
|
| Native HA cards | Custom cards that require unsupported HACS integrations |
|
|
|
|
**Rationale:** Bubble Cards were revoked by the developer. Mushroom cards are actively maintained and cover all use cases (sensor, light, climate, media, chip).
|
|
|
|
## Navigation
|
|
|
|
- Use **view tabs** for navigation (native HA feature)
|
|
- Do NOT use custom navigation overlays or popup cards
|
|
- One dashboard per area/floor, linked via view tabs
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|
|
|
|
- Grid layout with responsive breakpoints
|
|
- Maximum 4 columns on desktop, 1 on mobile
|
|
- Group sensors by room/area, not by type
|
|
- Use Mushroom chips for quick-status badges at the top of each view
|
|
|
|
## Color Scheme
|
|
|
|
- Follow Mushroom default color scheme (adaptive)
|
|
- Do NOT override entity icon colors manually unless semantically necessary (e.g. red for alert states)
|
|
|
|
## Pitfalls
|
|
|
|
- **Bubble Cards break on HA updates.** They were deprecated and removed — do not re-add them even if old configs reference them.
|
|
- **Mushroom requires HACS.** Ensure HACS is installed before using Mushroom cards. If HACS breaks, dashboards degrade to native cards gracefully.
|
|
- **View tab YAML vs UI.** Prefer UI-configured views over YAML dashboards for maintainability. Use YAML only for complex templated views.
