Help me set up a Home Assistant Lovelace dashboard for a wall tablet using custom cards. Install the card bundle through HACS, add Wallpanel for a photo screensaver and kiosk-mode to hide the header and sidebar. Create a sections view with a light card, a climate card and a media card in a frosted-glass theme, and walk me through the YAML for each.

Story

NotHomeView is a set of Lovelace cards for Home Assistant that aim for the look of Apple's HomePad: frosted glass tiles, a full "Now Playing" music screen, cameras, batteries, people, and a Home Screen with a blurred photo background. The package has 22 cards and two themes, HomeView Glass and HomeView Light, plus two example dashboards.

The cards install through HACS and each one has a visual editor with a Size dropdown, so you lay out the dashboard by clicking rather than writing YAML. Photo screensaver, popups and kiosk mode lean on Wallpanel, card-mod, browser_mod and kiosk-mode, all installable from HACS. Recent v1.30.7 added a Night/Day/Auto theme for device pages that follows the sun.

If you run a wall tablet on Home Assistant, this is the most finished-looking option in the repo: a ready-made visual language you can reskin rather than building every card from scratch.
