The Home Assistant looks alive again.
Three premium themes. Eight cinematic animated backgrounds. A live in-HA color customizer with zero restarts. Drop into HACS, pick a vibe, tune from your dashboard.
01Three moods
Pick the personality that matches your room. All three share the same component vocabulary, so your dashboards stay consistent.
02Cinematic backgrounds
Eight live animated styles. Switch from the customizer card — no restart needed. They follow your accent colors automatically.
03Tune it from inside HA
A Lovelace card binds to input_text + input_select helpers. Change a value → UI repaints instantly. Settings survive reboots.
No more YAML editing.
The customizer reads from helpers via Jinja templates. Change a color from any phone, tablet or browser, and every device updates in real time.
Want a tactile color picker instead of hex codes? Pair with lovelace-color-picker-card from HACS.
04Three steps
Easiest path: HACS. Manual works fine too — themes are just YAML files dropped in /config/themes/.
Enable themes
One line in your configuration.yaml, then a restart.
frontend: themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes
Pick & customize
Profile → Theme → Aurora. Then drop the customizer card on a dashboard and start tuning.
