Home Assistant Dashboard Themes 2024 Edition

I remember when I first started using Home Assistant; the default theme felt a bit plain.

So, I began exploring different themes to make my dashboard not just functional but also visually appealing.

Here are my top 5 Home Assistant Dashboard Themes

How to manually install a theme in Home Assistant?

Download the Theme

• First, find a theme you like. There are many available online, like on GitHub or Home Assistant community forums.
• Download the theme file, usually in .yaml format.

Access the Home Assistant Configuration Directory

• You need to access the directory where your Home Assistant configuration files are stored.

Create a Themes Folder

• In the configuration directory, create a new folder named themes if it doesn’t already exist.

Add the Theme File

• Place the downloaded .yaml theme file into the themes folder.

Update Configuration.yaml

• Open your configuration.yaml file.

• Add the following lines to include the themes directory

frontend:
  themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes/

Save the changes.

Restart Home Assistant

• After saving your configuration.yaml file, restart Home Assistant for the changes to take effect.

Activate the Theme

• Once Home Assistant restarts, go to your profile in the Home Assistant interface.
