Setup guides

Get Theatrium set up exactly the way you want it

Short, focused guides for the setup steps that benefit from a bit more detail than fits on the main page — most take a few minutes, start to finish; the Home Assistant and Kiosk Mode routes take longer and say so up front.

Dashboard cards Easy

Every panel is a slot and any slot can hold any card. How to change what each one shows.

Apple Home Easy

Connect Theatrium straight to Apple Home — no Home Assistant required.

Home Assistant Intermediate

The backend that unlocks every card — install it, connect it, and see what changes.

Homebridge Advanced

Get Tuya, Smart Life and other Wi-Fi devices into Apple Home so Theatrium can see them.

Spotify & music Intermediate

Show what's playing on Spotify via Last.fm, plus every other music source.

Calendar Easy

Put your Google, Apple or Outlook calendar on the dashboard.

Home Assistant alerts Intermediate

Custom TV notifications for motion, doorbells and anything else HA can trigger.

tvOS Kiosk Mode Advanced

Lock an Apple TV to just Theatrium, for a guest room, showroom, or kiosk.

These guides are general information, provided “as is” with no warranty of any kind. They describe independent third-party software that Theatrium does not control, and the steps involve installing software and changing settings on your own equipment — back up first and proceed at your own risk.
