Glance is a custom, high-polish Home Assistant dashboard built with React 19 + TypeScript + Vite. It talks directly to Home Assistant over its WebSocket API, renders a fully editable tile/room layout, and layers on a lot of "premium feel" motion and ambient effects. It can run as a local dev app or as a Supervisor-managed Home Assistant add-on (sidebar panel via Ingress).
- Installation — run as an HA add-on or locally.
- Configuration — connect to HA, no-code setup, themes.
- Features — tiles, glance strip, media, vacuum, ambient backdrop.
- Pages & Board Types — what Tiles / Sensor graphs / NOC / Cameras / Now Playing do, and every per-page setting.
- Recipes — quick how-tos: camera on a tile, reverse a slider, UniFi NOC.
- NOC / Servers Dashboard — infrastructure monitoring board.
- Layout: Backup & Restore — export/import your dashboard.
- Architecture — source layout and data flow.
- Add-on Development — build, versioning, releasing.
