In this video I build what I call the “Tile Dashboard” — a super clean Lovelace mobile dashboard that takes your UI from that default, randomly-stacked look to something that actually feels designed. The whole thing is built with the stock Grid Card, Button Cards, and a simple Weather card. No custom cards, no big YAML files… just a few tiny YAML edits in the editor (like setting columns and flipping square to false) to get everything aligned and looking right. I start by showing what happens the first time you edit a Home Assistant dashboard, how to “take control” of Lovelace, and why I like starting from an empty dashboard so you get a clean slate. Then I walk through the layout: nested grid cards up top for quick actions (lights, thermostat, humidifier, alarm, scenes), a simple weather glance, and a bottom grid of room tiles that navigate to dedicated room views. The key trick is using tap vs hold actions: tap to navigate to a view, hold to toggle a whole room or group. By the end, you’ll have a dashboard that’s fast on mobile, easy to expand with more views, and simple enough to recreate with the UI while still learning the basics of Lovelace YAML.
