Home Assistant Container on a Synology DiskStation DS918+ NAS. Use cases are a Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (wall mounted) tablet with Fully Kiosk Browser and homeassistant-desktop on macOS. My configuration is exposed to HomeKit with Apple TV acting as a hub for remote connection. I also support Nabu Casa.

How do I install this theme?
There's no install button. I'm sharing my full configuration
Can you please add this to HACS?
No, because this is not a custom card or integration
Where do I even start?
This post explains how to get started 🎉

Long press a button to show settings and information pertaining to the entity, using browser_mod. Light popups are automatically created using the light button-card template with light-popup-card and light-entity-card
Conditionally display media players based on the last active device. If nothing is active for 15 minutes, a poster of the last downloaded movie/episode is shown (Plex, Radarr, Sonarr). Swipe to reveal non-active media players
card-mod is used for the styles in include/themes.yaml and each popup also contain styles depending on content.
