My default dashboard is maybe a little bit unusual:
It's the blood glucose levels of my daughter (and mine in the next tab) as we are both T1 diabetics. The levels are transmitted via a tool called Nightscout and then shared with Home Assistant. This allows my wife and myself to get notified via light signals at night (in addition to the alarm her blood glucose sensor sounds). The dashboard also contains average levels for several timespans as well as an estimated long time level (Hb1Ac).
The second dashboard is an overview of all the lights, sensors and appliances located on a floorplan of the house:
There are several tabs grouping lights (and appliances), sensor readings and battery levels.
