Home Assistant Configuration
Home Assistant Container on a Synology DiskStation DS918+ NAS. Wall mounted tablet (Galaxy Tab A 10.1) using Fully Kiosk Browser. My configuration is exposed to HomeKit with Apple TV acting as a hub for remote connection.

Installation
How do I install this theme?
There's no install button. I'm sharing my full configuration
Can you please add this to HACS?
No, because this is not a custom card or integration
Where do I even start?
INSTALL.md explains how to get started :tada:

Popups
Long press a button to show settings and information pertaining to the entity, using browser_mod. Light popups are automatically created using the light button-card template with 🍄 Mushroom
Media
Conditionally display media players based on the last active device. If nothing is active for 15 minutes, a poster of the last downloaded movie/episode is shown (Plex, Radarr, Sonarr). Swipe to reveal non-active media players
Theme
card-mod is used for the styles in include/themes.yaml and each popup also contain styles depending on content.
I've made a tool to help with css element selectors - https://matt8707.github.io/card-mod-helper/
