MSR-1 Home Assistant dashboard examples¶
Each example below is a Home Assistant dashboard card for your Apollo MSR-1, with a screenshot of the result and the YAML that builds it. To use one, install any custom card it needs from HACS (its section has a button), then add a card to your dashboard and paste in the YAML.
Change the entity IDs to your own
The YAML uses the entity IDs of the MSR-1s these examples were built on. Before you save a card, replace the a79e14 or a79e38 part of each entity ID with your own MSR-1's ID, or the card won't find your sensor. You'll find your MSR-1's entities on its device page under Settings → Devices & services → ESPHome.
Radar scatter plot¶
This ApexCharts card plots your MSR-1's radar detection, moving, and still distances as a scatter plot. The card installs from HACS, so add it there first:

show_states: true
colorize_states: true
apex_config:
legend:

name: Moving
stroke_width: 1
- entity: sensor.apollo_msr_1_a79e14_radar_still_distance
name: Still
stroke_width: 1
CO2 charts¶
These cards chart readings from the MSR-1's optional CO2 sensor. If you haven't fitted it yet, see Adding CO2 to MSR-1.
Home Assistant sensor card¶
This card is built into Home Assistant, so there's nothing to install.
graph: line
type: sensor
entity: sensor.apollo_msr_1_a79e38_co2
detail: 2
name: Bedroom CO2
hours_to_show: 24
Plotly graph card (custom)¶
This card installs from HACS, so add it there first:
type: custom:plotly-graph
entities:
- entity: sensor.apollo_msr_1_a79e38_co2
hours_to_show: 24
refresh_interval: 10
title: Bedroom CO2
Home Assistant gauge card¶
This card is also built into Home Assistant. Its needle points into a green, yellow, or red range depending on the CO2 level.
