Can you share your Pi-Hole card code, and how you can toggle it on/off? Thanks!
I’m interested in the card code as well and how does it actually work - do you relay all your internet traffic through that device (pointing your devices to use it as DNS) before it goes to your ISP equipment?
- Yes, my Primary DNS Server is the pi-hole, i configured it in my router.
- as for turn off/on the block state, please follow the guide below:

Thank you 
!!!
And you pie hole then points to your ISPs DNS or Google DNS or?
no problem, ISP
Well, I finally decided to release my card!
I have added 12 examples in the repository, so you can see how a card is ‘created’.
Have fun with it 
The pull request for HACS is done, so it should end up there too.
And it is merged!

Some new experiments…
The cockpit view:
and some other view with more partial segmented arcs and horizontal bars.
In its very early stages, but fully configurable using yaml.
The simple barcharts for history/trends are still a mock-up btw. They show fake data.
Update:
After hours of debugging and not understanding some weird Javascript things, I managed to get real data into the bar charts

That “cockpit view” is awesome! Keep up the nice work!
Thanx. I’ll keep experimenting…
The next example shows shows 7x temperatures and 7x humidity, but I also plan to use this for my server which has multiple hdd’s in a cage, including their temperatures. So the humidity becomes the % used.
In case you didn’t notice, It is the same card as the cockpit display…

Will you share your template used in your decluttering cards?
Yes, I will update my repository with the decluttering templates I use.
Could you share your lovelace yaml? I’m very interested in the cpu/disk/memory section, very clear/slim design!
Sure, This is the updated version

What did you use for getting NextCloud info?
I made a script which reads the RSS feed coming from nextcloud.
hi,
how do you monitor cpu temp and usage?
thanks
You can get Processor use from the System Monitor…
And for CPU temp… it depends on what machine you’re running on. For example, my i3 NUC required me to use a command line sensor, like this:
# CPU temp command line sensor
- platform: command_line
name: CPU Temperature
command: "cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone3/temp"
# If errors occur, remove degree symbol below
unit_of_measurement: "°C"
value_template: '{{ value | multiply(0.001) | round(1) }}'

Cerb, do you mind sharing your yaml for this page?
