Smart Dashboard Magic: Automating Dashboards, Photos & Presence Detection

Transform your wall tablet into the perfect smart display! In this video, I pull everything together — dashboards, photos, presence detection, Browser Mod, helpers, and automations — to create a fully automated Home Assistant wall display that switches between a dashboard and a photo frame automatically.

We set up:
• A multi‑tab dashboard (Dashboard, Photos, Cameras)
• Browser Mod navigation
• A dropdown helper to control what’s shown
• Automations that switch tabs based on helper state
• Presence‑based switching between dashboard and photo frame
• A startup script to always load the correct view

Whether you’re building a smart home control centre or a beautiful digital photo frame, this walkthrough shows you exactly how to automate it.
