Home Assistant Dashboards & Cards Workflow Determine whether to create a new dashboard or edit an existing one. If editing, locate target cards first and transform config with a current config_hash . Use built-in cards unless a custom card is required. Discover entity IDs before wiring cards. Provide minimal, valid dashboard snippets or tool-driven changes.
