Home Assistant config backup

Dark theme + dashboard for Home Assistant. Here's what goes where and the extra bits you need to set up by hand.

What goes where

File in this repo	Put it at	What it is
configuration.yaml	/config/configuration.yaml	Main HA config (merge with yours — see network notes below)
automations.yaml	/config/automations.yaml	Automations
themes/theme.yaml	/config/themes/theme.yaml	The Zuhause dark theme
raw_configuration.yaml	not a file you copy — paste into the dashboard	Dashboard layout (see below)

After copying, restart HA (or Developer Tools → YAML → Reload Themes), then pick Zuhause under Profile → Theme.

Dashboard

raw_configuration.yaml is a dashboard export, not an included file. Create a dashboard, open it, then ⋮ (top-right) → Edit Dashboard → ⋮ → Raw configuration editor and paste the whole file in.

Extra setup you have to do by hand

1. Custom font (Hanken Grotesk) — required, or text falls back to plain sans-serif

The theme uses the font but does not load it. Add it as a dashboard resource:

Settings → Dashboards → ⋮ (top-right) → Resources → Add Resource

• URL: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Hanken+Grotesk:wght@100..900&display=swap
• Type: Stylesheet

(Prefer no external calls? Drop a .woff2 + a small @font-face CSS into /config/www/ and add that as a resource pointing at /local/<your-file>.css instead.)

2. HACS frontend components — required

The theme and dashboard depend on these (install via HACS → Frontend):

• card-mod — theme styling + card_mod used across the dashboard
• bubble-card
• button-card
• mini-graph-card
• modern-weather-card
• mediocre-media-player-card
• paper-buttons-row
• hass-selfhst-icons — referenced by extra_module_url in configuration.yaml (remove that line if you don't use it)

3. Things hard-coded to this setup — change these

• homeassistant: packages: !include_dir_named packages — expects a /config/packages folder (not in this backup); create it or remove the line (uncommented)
• rest_command + the Shelly Plug LED template switch point at a Shelly at 192.168.1.132 — retarget or delete
• Entity IDs in automations.yaml / the dashboard reference my devices — adjust to yours
