Last year I created a really cool compact vacuum and mop card. It used a lot of custom:button-card, but since I’ve switched my dashboards over to Mushroom, I wanted to update this card as well. Here’s what I came up with. Prerequisites First, you need to grab the coordinates of each room and put those…
A few months ago I posted my compact 3D printer card. You guys seemed to really like it so I decided to post my updated version now that I’ve since switched to Mushroom.

Follow this guide if you’d like to create a Home Assistant ‘Christmas tree’ card that “lights up” when the smart plug connected to your tree gets turned on. This is a great way to quickly see at a glance (on one of your Fire tablets running Fully-Kiosk and Wallpanel) if one of your trees are…
