The theme features a dark background with subtle circuit patterns, giving the dashboard a high-tech, sci-fi look.

+
+## Features
+- Sci-Fi Aesthetic: A dark background with neon blue accents and circuit-like patterns creates a sophisticated, futuristic vibe.

+
+## Notes
+My Home Assistant runs in Docker on a server. I don't use the supervised version, nor do I send any data to Home Assistant servers. This is my personal choice, despite it requiring more manual management.
+
+  <strong style="color:red;">I don’t know how it works with HAOS.</strong>
+
+- I prioritize securing my network by blocking **phone home** calls from IoT devices, ensuring data privacy.
+- My Home Assistant setup includes an array of devices, with plans to expand further. Here’s a snapshot of what I manage:
+
+    - 💡 Hue
+    - 🏠 Tuya
+    - 📊 Grafana for monitoring
+    - 🎞 Emby for media
+    - 🚪 Door locks
+    - 🔒 Cameras
+    - 💻 Local AI (on server)
+    - 🚦 Pi Hole for ad-blocking
+    - 🖥 Full network & server monitoring, including GPU & storage
+    - 🌀 Fans
+    - And much more to come!

+## 🛠 How I Created My Layouts
+
+To get the layout I wanted with the Enhanced Biofects Theme, I combined various plugins and customization:
+
+1. Updated each dashboard to support **Wall Panel**, **Sidebar Card** and **Kiosk Mode**.
+2. YAML for content and views should be placed above the dashboard views.
+3. Example using UI and Sections:  
+   [ui.yaml](./examples/ui.yaml)
+4. Example With a custom header and Greeting Sensor:  
+   [lovelace-dashboard.yaml](./examples/lovelace-dashboard.yaml)
+- Please note for the Custom Header with greeting and Quote you will need some additional templates and sensors in your configuration yaml files.
+    [otherconfigs.yaml](./examples/otherconfigs.yaml)
