Have removed information about how to access themes before Home Assistant version 0.77 (which was released eight months ago now - very few people should be using 8+ month old versions). Instead I replaced it with information on the *current way* of accessing user profile menu which seems way more important.

This offers the official frontend to control Home Assistant.
|
|
|
|
```yaml

frontend:

```
|
|
|
|
{% configuration %}
|
|
javascript_version:
|
|
description: "Version of the JavaScript to serve to clients. Options: `es5` - transpiled so old browsers understand it. `latest` - not transpiled, so will work on recent browsers only. `auto` - select a version according to the browser user-agent. The value in the config can be overiden by putting `es5` or `latest` in the URL. For example `http://localhost:8123/states?es5` "

## {% linkable_title Defining Themes %}
|
|
|
|
Starting with version 0.49 you can define themes:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
frontend:
|
|
themes:
|
|
happy:
|
|
primary-color: pink
|
|
sad:
|
|
primary-color: blue
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The example above defined two themes named `happy` and `sad`. For each theme you can set values for CSS variables. For a partial list of variables used by the main frontend see [ha-style.ts](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/blob/master/src/resources/ha-style.ts).
|
|
|
|
Check our [community forums](https://community.home-assistant.io/c/projects/themes) to find themes to use.
|
|
|
|
### {% linkable_title Theme automation %}
|
|
|
|
There are 2 themes-related services:
|
|
|
|
- `frontend.reload_themes`: reloads theme configuration from your `configuration.yaml` file.
|
|
- `frontend.set_theme(name)`: sets backend-preferred theme name.
|
|
|
|
Example in automation:
|
|
|
|
Set a theme at the startup of Home Assistant:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
automation:
|
|
- alias: 'Set theme at startup'
|
|
initial_state: 'on'
|
|
trigger:
|
|
- platform: homeassistant
|
|
event: start
|
|
action:
|
|
service: frontend.set_theme
|
|
data:
|
|
name: happy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To enable "night mode":
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
automation:
|
|
- alias: 'Set dark theme for the night'
|
|
initial_state: true
|
|
trigger:
|
|
- platform: time
|
|
at: '21:00:00'
|
|
action:
|
|
- service: frontend.set_theme
|
|
data:
|
|
name: darkred
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### {% linkable_title Manual Theme Selection %}
|
|
|
|
When themes are enabled in the `configuration.yaml` file, a new option will show up in the user profile menu (accessed by clicking your user account initials at the top of the sidebar). You can then choose any installed theme from the dropdown list and it will be applied immediately.
|
|
|
|
<p class='img'>
|
|
<img src='/images/frontend/user-theme.png' />
|
|
Set a theme
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
## {% linkable_title Loading extra HTML %}
|
|
|
|
Starting with version 0.53 you can specify extra HTML files to load.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
frontend:
|
|
extra_html_url:
|
|
- https://example.com/file1.html
|
|
- /file2.html
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Those will be loaded via `<link rel='import' href='{{ extra_url }}' async>` on any page (states and panels).
|
|
|
|
### {% linkable_title Manual Language Selection %}
|
|
|
|
The browser language is automatically detected. To use a different language, go to the user profile menu (accessed by clicking your user account initials at the top of the sidebar) and select one. It will be applied immediately.
|
|
|
|
<p class='img'>
|
|
<img src='/images/frontend/user-language.png' />
|
|
Choose a Language
|
|
</p>
