View Strategies

View Strategies are Strategies that generate a single View.

What is a View?

A View is a Tab inside an already existing Dashboard.

Take a look at the example image:

View

  • the Dashboard is the Thing in the Sidebar
  • the View is the thing with the red mark inside the Dashboard

Only the View can get generated with a View Strategy!

How do i generate a View with a View Strategy?

You just write YAML like in the following example.

title: My already existing Dashboard
...
views:
  - strategy: 
      type: custom:example-view-strategy
      #The Config for this view dependant on the view; nothing to do with HA Config
      config: config for this view
    #The Home Assistant View Options like:
    ##icon: mdi-example
    ##path: example
    ##title: Example
    ##visible:
    ##  - user_you_want
  - other views you want...

Note that the views: key is a key in an already existing Dashboard and is a feature of the Home Assistant Dashboard Configuration!

Look at an example in the Home Assistant Documenation above that Heading!
