ha-validate-dashboards

Validates Home Assistant dashboard and configuration changes using a comprehensive 3-tier validation approach to catch errors before they impact users.

Use this skill to validate Home Assistant dashboards before deployment. Run the Quick Start workflow for a complete validation, or use individual tiers (pre-publish, post-publish, visual) for specific validation needs. Always run pre-publish validation first to catch config errors before they reach production.

Validate configuration and entities BEFORE publishing to Home Assistant.

Provides 3-tier validation approach for Home Assistant dashboards including pre-publish validation (entity checks, config structure), post-publish verification (log analysis), and visual validation (browser console, rendering). Use when validating HA dashboards, checking dashboard configs, verifying entity IDs, debugging rendering issues, or before deploying dashboard changes. Triggers on "validate dashboard", "check HA config", "dashboard errors", "entity not found", or "test dashboard". Works with Home Assistant WebSocket/REST APIs, Chrome extension MCP tools, Python dashboard builders, and YAML dashboard configurations. Source: dawiddutoit/custom-claude.
