Can I use someone else’s dashboard template and just connect my entities?

Im so sorry if this is obvious but I can’t find a clear answer on this. And instructions on how to incorporate if it is indeed possible. Please let me know where to find this info.

In principle, I think yes (by copying the yaml over). You’d also need to have all the relevant frontend HACS that the dashboard uses. You might need to ensure there are no conflicts with path: if it has been specified.

edit: just re-read your post and realise you’re looking for instructions.

On the dashboard you want to copy, hit the “three dots” menu, then “Edit Dashboard,” then the “three dots” menu again, then “Raw configuration editor.”

This brings up the dashboard definition in YAML. Copy it somewhere, edit it as desired, and paste it into your own dashboard. It’ll probably generate errors, where the two environments aren’t identical. Go through and correct the errors one by one.
