How To Make Your Dashboard Smaller And More Efficient

When you start creating dashboards in Home Assistant, it can be tricky to set it up exactly the way you want. Cards seem to have their own opinion on where they show up and it can be frustrating to get a grip on the layout of your dashboard. Luckily there are some tools to get more control over your dashboard in Home Assistant. My goal was to show all information on a dashboard without having to scroll vertically. And I succeeded! I will show you the tools that I used in this tutorial.
