🏠 Apple Home Dashboard Strategy

A pixel‑level Apple Home style dashboard for Home Assistant. Instantly turns your Lovelace dashboard into an iOS Home app experience: familiar layout, section structure, color language, typography, card behaviors, navigation and editing flow – all automatic.

Fully customizable per dashboard: every change you make (favorites, section order, hidden sections, per‑room layouts, tall/regular card toggles, background, included switches, scene & camera order, etc.) is saved inside that specific dashboard’s Lovelace config. Create multiple Apple Home dashboards (e.g. Family vs Wall Tablet vs Kids) – each keeps its own independent appearance & layout without extra YAML.

🚀 Quick Start (2 minutes)

  1. Install
    • HACS: Add custom repository (Dashboard), install "Apple Home Dashboard Strategy" (resource added automatically). OR
    • Manual: Download apple-home-dashboard.js to /config/www/ and add a Lovelace resource: /local/apple-home-dashboard.js (Module).
  2. Create a new Dashboard (Settings → Dashboards → +) – give it a path like apple-home and switch it to YAML mode (Enable advanced mode in your profile if needed).
  3. Open Raw Configuration for that dashboard and paste ONLY:
strategy:
  type: custom:apple-home-strategy
views: []
  1. Save & refresh – the Home (My Home) view, Rooms, Groups, Scenes & Cameras generate automatically. Enter Edit mode to customize.

Using the default Overview instead: You can replace the Overview dashboard the same way (edit its Raw Configuration and set the same `strategy` block). If you want to keep the original Overview layout, create a separate dashboard instead.
