Adding devices to areas

You can add devices to an area by going to Settings found at the bottom of the sidebar.

Select Devices & services.
Select Devices at the top.
Select the device you wish to add to an area.
Select the pencil icon found in the top right corner.
Enter an area in the area field.

Entities of that device can be set to a different area by going to the settings of that entity.

Caution

If you created an entity manually (in your configuration.yaml) you may need to enter a unique_id first before you set an area to it.
See Home Assistant's documentation for more info about unique ids.

Hiding specific entities from the Strategy

When creating this dashboard for the first time, you probably have many entities that you don't want to see.
You can hide these entities by following the steps below:

Click and hold the entity.
Click the cog icon in the top right corner of the popup.
Set Visible to off.

The view should update when the page is refreshed.

Note

If you don't want to hide the entity from all dashboards, you can use Card Options to hide specific entities and devices.
