MSR-2 Home Assistant dashboard examples

These example cards put readings from your Apollo MSR-2 on a Home Assistant dashboard. Each section shows a screenshot of the card, followed by its YAML. Copy the YAML for the card you want and paste it into a new card on your dashboard.

Use your own entity IDs

The entity IDs in every YAML block on this page contain the placeholder xxxxxx. Replace xxxxxx with the last six characters of your MSR-2's name.
