- button-card: Primary card used throughout the dashboard

Install button-card and kiosk-mode through HACS.
Restart Home Assistant if required.
Copy minipanelbackground.png to your Home Assistant www folder:
cp minipanelbackground.png /config/www/The image will then be available in Home Assistant as:
/local/minipanelbackground.png
- Go to Settings > Dashboards
- Click Add dashboard
- Choose New dashboard from scratch
- Enter a title, for example
MiniPanel - Set the URL to exactly:
dashboard-minipanel
- Create the dashboard
The dashboard URL is important because the navigation buttons use fixed paths such as:
/dashboard-minipanel/home
/dashboard-minipanel/lys
/dashboard-minipanel/klima
/dashboard-minipanel/musik
/dashboard-minipanel/status
If you use another dashboard URL, you must replace every /dashboard-minipanel/ reference in minipanel.json.
- Open the new MiniPanel dashboard
- Select Edit dashboard
- Open the three-dot menu
- Select Raw configuration editor
- Replace the existing content with the contents of
minipanel.json - Save the dashboard
Do not copy the file directly into /config/.storage/. Home Assistant manages that folder internally.
The dashboard is configured to hide the interface for the Home Assistant user named Shelly.
Edit the kiosk_mode section in minipanel.json to match the user account used by your wall display.
The dashboard uses entity IDs from my own Home Assistant installation.
Replace them with the corresponding entities from your setup.
| Dashboard reference | Replace with |
|---|---|
light.stue_lights |
Living room light group |
light.kontor_lights |
Office light group |
light.kokken_lights |
Kitchen light group |
light.nordtronic_a_s_rotdimz_98424072 |
Bathroom light |
light.caroline_lights |
Bedroom or family-room light group |
light.sovevaerelse |
Main bedroom light |
media_player.kokken_hub_2 |
Media player |
sensor.udendors_temperatur |
Outdoor temperature sensor |
weather.forecast_home |
Weather entity |
person.* or device_tracker.* |
Presence entities |
sensor.opvaskemaskine_current_program_remaining_time |
Dishwasher remaining-time sensor |
The music shortcut buttons reference these scripts:
script.1783163503917: Brians Mixscript.gods_of_metal: Gods of Metalscript.musik_liked_songs_pa_kokken_hub: Spotify Liked Songs
Replace them with your own Music Assistant or media-control scripts.
Replace minipanelbackground.png in /config/www/ with your own image while keeping the same filename.
You can also change the image path directly in minipanel.json.
The right-side navigation menu uses fixed dashboard paths.
Keep the dashboard URL as:
dashboard-minipanel
If you change it, update all navigation paths in minipanel.json.
- The layout is optimized for the Shelly Wall Display X2i in landscape orientation.
- It can also run on the older Shelly Wall Display X2, although spacing and scaling may require adjustment.
- Light commands are executed immediately. Any visible delay normally comes from the dashboard waiting for the updated entity state from Home Assistant.
- The All Lights page belongs to the Lights section and is not a sixth main navigation view.
- The screenshots show my own entities, names, temperatures, and media. Your setup will differ after replacing the example entities.
