MMM-HomeAssistantDisplay Question

UncleRoger

I have HomeAssistant set up and use MMM-HomeAssistant-sensors to grab some data from various devices (mostly a couple of cheap temp/humidity sensors and the fancy new stove & fridge). These display on the mirror as a simple table which is fine.

I also have my wife’s EV hooked up in HA so I can see its status. I have a nice little panel (card?) set up with a gauge for the battery and indicators for things like charging, doors locked, etc.

Can I display that panel as-is on my mirror using MMM-HomeAssistantDisplay? Or would I need to recreate the display for the mirror?

Is there a module that will simply render a HA panel on the mirror?

@UncleRoger if you use an iframe or webview, you could display that card on its own page, embedded on the MM page…
and it looks like you could have another userid whose home page is that card…

otherwise the HADisplay is really only sensor types.

@sdetweil

So put an iframe or webview on the MM to point to an HA user with that card as its only view?

Something like MMM-SmartWebDisplay or MMM-WebView?

Thanks again!

@UncleRoger yes

If your iFrame doesn’t render, in your HA configuration.yaml file, include the following :

http:
  use_x_frame_options: false

Restart HA first, wait for it to finish, then restart your MM instance to see if the iFrame shows.

I use this older MM iFrame module as it’s straight forward.

Within HA, you can also make use of the Kiosk Mode HACS add-on to hide the header and/or sidebars. Once installed, you simply add the following at the top of your dashboard YAML using the Raw configuration editor ( this step is shown in the vid ).

kiosk_mode:
  non_admin_settings:
    kiosk: true
    ignore_entity_settings: true

If you have solar power or another view of your household electricity use via HA, there’s a super funky card that’s been released : https://github.com/Giorgio866/lumina-energy-card. It can show the flow of power around the house as well as what’s going into the EV. Feel the love for Tron !
