Forget StreamDeck for Home Assistant, this cost £10 and I have done Sooooooo much with it! I have made this Smart Home tutorial / How to guide for anyone who wants a Smart Home Dashboard, simple buttons for Home Assistant, and for anyone that wants a wireless Smart Home Dashboard with batteries that will last for a full year.

This is the best Home Assistant idea I've found in ages, massive thanks to the original Reddit post I followed which is here: bit.ly/3WW3SWV

CODE TO BE PASTED BELOW:
