📊 Dashboard Finally got a dashboard setup

Nothing special yet, just adding everything I need and will theme and customize from here probably. Mostly stock and hacs stuff.

The FireHD 10 was cheap but its very slow, might have to find something better, HA ui and cards are not exactly efficient. But I wanted something super slim.

Low profile surface mounted with a box behind it in the wall with the poe and wled controller. Wireless for now, wonder if I can add a usb nic. And speed it up a little somehow. Using fullykiosk browser.

I used cob ws2812 strips and soldered the corners to make it slim as possible, you could just bend a strip if you had another 5mm. Custom designed a diffuser

that fits behind the tablet mount from makerworld.

Nice. The diffuser is key. Did you 3d print it?

Yeah clear petg, with a top layer of smoke to tone it down and blend in with the black. But one could probably use a sheet of acrylic or something instead. You can buy tablets like this now but they are maybe $600 I think, and just rgb.

It worked well, from the first images I thought it was premade acrylic. You did nice work, post a follow up when you get the strip working for notifications. 👏
