+# Installing the Kiosk Dashboard
+
+## Step 1: Copy Dashboard YAML
+
+1. Open Home Assistant
+2. Go to **Settings > Dashboards**
+3. Click **+ ADD DASHBOARD**
+4. Choose **Start with an empty dashboard**
+5. Name it: `Kiosk Dashboard`
+6. Click the **⋮** (three dots) menu > **Edit Dashboard**
+7. Click **⋮** again > **Raw configuration editor**
+8. Copy the contents of `dashboard-kiosk-improved.yaml` and paste it
+9. Click **SAVE**
+
+## Step 2: Set Up RSS Feed for Fox News
+
+### Option A: Using HACS (Recommended)
+
+1. Install HACS if not already installed
+2. Go to HACS > Integrations
+3. Search for "RSS Feed" or "Feedparser"
+4. Install the integration
+5. Restart Home Assistant
+6. Add to `configuration.yaml`:
+   ```yaml
+   rss_feed_template:
+     fox_news_breaking:
+       url: "https://feeds.foxnews.com/foxnews/latest"
+       scan_interval: 300
+   ```
+
+### Option B: Manual RSS Feed Setup
+
+1. Install `feedparser` custom component
+2. Add to `configuration.yaml` (see `setup-rss-fox-news.yaml`)
+3. Restart Home Assistant
+
+## Step 3: Enable Auto-Scroll
+
+### Option A: Install Auto-Scroll Card (Best)
+
+1. Install via HACS: `auto-scroll-card`
+2. Update dashboard YAML to use `type: custom:auto-scroll-card`
+3. Configure scroll speed
+
+### Option B: CSS Injection (Quick)
+
+Add this to your dashboard's card-mod style or use a custom card:
+
+```yaml
+card_mod:
+  style: |
+    ha-card {
+      animation: scroll 120s linear infinite;
+    }
+    @keyframes scroll {
+      0% { transform: translateY(0); }
+      100% { transform: translateY(-100%); }
+    }
+```
+
+### Option C: Browser Console (Temporary)
+
+Open browser console (F12) and run:
+```javascript
+setInterval(() => window.scrollBy(0, 1), 50);
+```
+
+## Step 4: Customize Entities
+
+Edit the dashboard YAML to:
+- Add/remove entities
+- Adjust card sizes
+- Change colors and fonts
+- Add more sections
+
+## Step 5: Set as Default Dashboard
+
+1. Go to **Settings > Dashboards**
+2. Find "Kiosk Dashboard"
+3. Click **⋮** > **Set as default on this device**
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **RSS not showing**: Install RSS feed integration first
+- **Auto-scroll not working**: Install `auto-scroll-card` or use CSS
+- **Cards too small**: Increase font-size in card-mod styles
+- **Missing entities**: Check entity IDs match your setup
