The `panel_custom` support allows you to add additional panels to your Home Assistant frontend. The panels are listed in the sidebar if wished and can be highly customized. See the developer documentation on [instructions how to build your own panels](https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/frontend_creating_custom_panels.html).

To enable customized panels in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
panel_custom:
  - name: my-panel
    sidebar_title: TodoMVC
    sidebar_icon: mdi:work
    url_path: my-todomvc
    js_url: /local/my-panel.js
    config:
      who: world
```

<p class='note'>
Store your custom panels in `<config>/www` to make them available in the frontend at the path `/local`.
</p>

Configuration variables:

- **name** (*Required*): Name of the web component that renders your panel.
- **sidebar_title** (*Optional*): Friendly title for the panel in the sidebar. Omitting it means no sidebar entry (but still accessible through the URL).
- **sidebar_icon** (*Optional*): Icon for entry. Pick an icon that you can find on [materialdesignicons.com](https://materialdesignicons.com/) to use for your input and prefix the name with `mdi:`. For example `mdi:car`, `mdi:ambulance`, or  `mdi:motorbike`.
- **url_path** (*Optional*): The URL your panel will be available on in the frontend. If omitted will default to the panel name.
- **js_url** (*Required*): The URL that contains the JavaScript of your panel. This is exclusive to `module_url` and `webcomponent_path`.
- **module_url** (*Optional*): The URL that contains the JavaScript module of your panel. Loaded as a JavaScript module instead of a script. This is exclusive to `js_url` and `webcomponent_path`.
- **config** (*Optional*): Configuration to be passed into your web component when being instantiated.
- **embed_iframe** (*Optional*): Set to `true` to embed panel in iframe. This is necessary if the panel is using the React framework or if it contains conflicting web components.
- **trust_external_script** (*Optional*): By default the user has to confirm before loading a script from an external source. Setting this to `true` will omit this confirmation.
- **webcomponent_path** (*Optional* *DEPRECATED*): The HTML path to your component. If omitted will default to `<config dir>/panels/<component name>.html`  This is exclusive to `js_url` and `module_url`.
