tl;dr: The author commissioned an illustrator to draw a custom day/night illustration of their house, with each smart device on its own animated WebP layer, then wired it into Home Assistant using the stock picture-elements card. Device states swap between still and animated frames via state_image, a sunset/sunrise automation toggles day/night overlays, and YAML mode plus card-mod enables reusing floor layouts across per-floor and combined views. The dashboard runs on a TV via the HAOS Kiosk Display add-on through HDMI, finally getting the whole family to engage with their smart home.
