Eta most HA dashboard examples I've seen are horrible. People are trying to put 7,000 things on them. I want this to be relaxing and not look like a 747 cockpit.


Reddit is obsessed with that shite :lol:

Why do you need the browser to be in kiosk? Set Chrome to open in full screen to your HA dashboard URL, then you can maximize youtube to fuil screen like normal via the dashboard

i saw this; that might be the final piece; this gets around YOUTUBE not wanting to go full-screen when in 'kiosk mode'.


Confused why you would want to do this... You can feed the youtube stream directly into the HA dashboard

Here's my dashboard yaml. Don't know how to copy and paste it cleanly into a post :lol:

I did a single pane dashboard. That'll play best with a single display IMO. Don't want to have to scroll up and down for stuff. HACs is also your friend for custom tiles and cards

Built this dashboard in HA. Very bare, can be cleaned up with better looking cards, but I did this in like 5 minutes :lol:

Bottom left tile cycles between my sports teams and pushes live updates/stats



This dashboard can be changed from any device, so you would only have to update the Youtube video ID when he starts each stream. You can also use the swipe card for news related stuff instead of sports

i'm honestly surprised no one has come up with something like this yet.

I don't know if that's even possible with what you want. Especially trying to integrate a youtube stream.

I think the best bet would be a Raspberry pi or mini pc hooked up to a nice touch screen monitor/display would be best. And then you can set 4 "borderless" browser sessions in each quadrant of the screen, one being youtube, a few being HA dashboards, etc, etc

Nah I use Crestron POE touch displays for HA dashboards in my house. I had an old tablet at one point, but the battery swelled so bad the touch input became unusable

Why would it soar? It's a highly printed card, plenty out there, and error cards aren't really that sought after. It's a niche card at best

probably 4u

Another 3-4u I would guess

Probably looking at a 15U rack, minimum. You could add a PDU to the rack to run all power to, and then have a floor model UPS to avoid filling more rack space. Navepoint makes some nice wall mountable racks with swinging gates

re: anyone used AI to help set up radarr/sonarr/overseerr..

Posted by bluebarracuda on 2/24/26 at 5:52 pm to CAD703X
It would be best to run them in docker containers but follow these instructions all on the same server

Hopefully you're using Linux :lol:

Edit: and you can connect sonarr and radarr to prowlarr through the Web gui, so you can stop at that api part
