Has anyone created a dashboard for a wallmount tablet with large text and icons so it can be legible from several feet away? I’m trying to get ideas of what works best and which entities to include. I know I want day, date, and time in one card, hvac in another, daily weather in another, hourly weather in another then a few switch controls for fan, radiator, some lights.

I am having the hardest time visualizing how I want to the sensors and switches to appear with large text and icons. They need to be in buttons or the buttons also need to be big if next to icons and text.

I am thinking of using a vertical stacks in a horizontal stack of 2 columns in a panel dashboard. Not sure if that is too complicated.

Not sure if card-mod for getting large text and icons is the best idea for the cards regardless of card used.

Any recommendations?

If you’re going to use multiple types of cards, Card Mod is probably your best option.

I mainly use custom button cards, very customisable.
This is my main dashboard, legible from a distance:

In some cases a custom theme could be enough. But card-mod can do more (if needed).
