Hello everyone,

Haven't deal with my dashboard for a long time so want to take advantage of some recent features like visibility condition (not sure that's proper wording) to create a new clean adaptive phone and tablet dashboard, but missing inspiration so curious how yours looks like. How did you organised it? which card (also card combination) is your favourite?

Here's mine. It's almost completely stock – no custom cards or YAML configs. I wanted to keep it super easy to maintain.

It uses most if not all of the recent dashboard updates.

This view is meant to be a dashboard of quick access to frequently used functions for my whole apartment and then the other tabs at the top are to drill into specific rooms.

The top two sections, "Media" and "Lights" hide when I'm not home. "Media" also has cards that appear if I'm watching TV or listening to music.

The "Activity" section at the bottom is new and something I'm playing with: it's supposed to be an easy "floorplan" to show which areas are occupied.

Cool! Which automation hides/shows them based on location?

I believe playing with visibility would be the easiest way

Right, thanks!

Yep, just like @barcaxavi said. You can tie the section's visibility to your home zone and then if you have the mobile app set up on your phone, it's super easy to get a count of how many people are there.
