Widgets

Widgets are Navet-owned dashboard blocks. They are separate from provider-backed entity cards such as weather, calendar, lights, or cameras.

Overview

Use widgets when you want dashboard content that belongs to Navet itself rather than to a provider entity type.

Widgets are included in dashboard export and import.

Current Widget Types

Widget	Purpose
info	compact summary cards for grouped information
rss	RSS headlines shown through Navet’s proxy
photo	rotating image frame
note	freeform text note
battery	low-battery overview
ups	UPS status overview
energy-now	live energy snapshot
button	custom action button
map	people and tracker locations
entity	generic fallback card for a normalized provider entity

What You Can Do With Widgets

Widgets support the normal dashboard editing flow:

• add them to a room or the Home overview
• move them
• resize them
• rename them
• lock them
• delete them

Sizes

Widget sizing is per widget type, not global.

Widget	Supported sizes
button	tiny, extra-small, small
photo, note	small, medium, large, extra-large
battery, ups, energy-now, entity, info, map	small, medium, large
rss	medium, large

Placement

Widgets can be placed in:

• a room
• the Home overview
• the Energy section, for supported widget types

There are internal room IDs for special overview areas, but users do not need to manage those directly.

Limits And Notes

• Widgets are part of Navet itself, not provider-native card definitions.
• RSS uses Navet’s same-origin proxy instead of direct browser fetches.
• The entity widget is a fallback for entities without a richer dedicated Navet card.
• Supported sizes and placement depend on widget type.
