+Home Assistant Kiosk Dashboard Setup
+=====================================
+
+I've created 3 dashboard YAML files for you to choose from:
+
+1. dashboard-kiosk-simple.yaml
+   - Basic dashboard with weather and sun info
+   - Works with standard Home Assistant cards
+   - Manual scrolling (content is tall enough to scroll)
+   - RECOMMENDED if you don't have custom cards
+
+2. dashboard-kiosk.yaml
+   - Enhanced with styling and colors
+   - Uses card-mod for styling (requires card-mod custom card)
+   - Manual scrolling with nice visual sections
+
+3. dashboard-kiosk-auto-scroll.yaml
+   - Auto-scrolling with CSS animation
+   - Requires card-mod custom card
+   - Continuously scrolls automatically
+
+HOW TO USE:
+-----------
+
+1. Copy the YAML content from one of the files
+2. In Home Assistant:
+   - Go to Settings > Dashboards
+   - Click "Add Dashboard" or edit existing
+   - Click the 3-dot menu > "Edit Dashboard"
+   - Click "Raw Configuration Editor" (YAML icon)
+   - Paste the YAML content
+   - Save
+
+3. The dashboard will be available at:
+   http://homeassistant.local:8123/dashboard-kiosk/0
+
+4. Your Firefox kiosk is already configured to point to this URL!
+
+FOR AUTO-SCROLLING:
+-------------------
+
+If you want true auto-scrolling, you have a few options:
+
+Option A: Use browser-based auto-scroll
+  - Add this JavaScript to the dashboard (via browser console or custom card):
+    setInterval(() => window.scrollBy(0, 1), 50);
+
+Option B: Install card-mod custom card
+  - Install from HACS: "card-mod"
+  - Then use dashboard-kiosk-auto-scroll.yaml
+
+Option C: Use a custom auto-scroll card
+  - Install from HACS: "auto-scroll-card" or similar
+  - Wrap your dashboard content in it
+
+CUSTOMIZATION:
+-------------
+
+To add more entities, edit the YAML and add them to the entities sections.
+You can add:
+- Camera entities
+- Sensor entities  
+- Binary sensor entities
+- Any other entities you want to display
+
+The dashboard will automatically scroll if content is tall enough!
