A Simple Webpage with Live Data

Configuration Frontend
1

Sorry if this is a noob question, but I did do a search before asking.

I’m currently using another automation system and I have a rather simple, html table-based webpage that shows some live data. Is it possible to do this with Home Assistant? I have an autistic family member and any major changes to this display, like using cards, is going to send her into a tail-spin.

An alternative would be to send the data to a separate webserver via MQTT and display it there, but that seems like a kludge at best.

There are two options I can think of.

You could save the html page to your config www directory and use a webpage dasboard.

Or use the markdown card.

Thanks. I’ll look into both of those options.

After a lot of research and reading, I’ve decided to setup a small web server on a separate Raspberry Pi and use the built-in REST API to get the data values I need from Home assistant.
