In plain English

This repository is a personal collection of configuration snippets for Home Assistant, the open source home automation platform that lets people control smart lights, sensors, thermostats, and other connected devices from one dashboard. The README itself is written in French and is very brief, describing the project simply as a card and other bits of code for the author's own Home Assistant setup. The one piece of content shown is a dashboard card for something the author calls Hermes, which appears to be a Home Assistant instance or a specific integration running inside an LXC container on Proxmox, a free virtualization platform commonly used to run multiple isolated Linux environments on a single server. A screenshot of that dashboard card is included in the README, giving a visual sense of the layout, but no explanation of what Hermes controls or how the card itself is built. There are no installation instructions, no listed dependencies, and no explanation of how to reuse this configuration in a different Home Assistant setup. There is also no indication of what devices or sensors the Hermes dashboard actually displays, whether it tracks temperature, lighting, presence, or something else entirely. This is best understood as a personal notes repository, likely intended mainly for the author's own reference or for sharing a single dashboard idea with others who run similar home automation setups, rather than as a polished tool meant for general use. Because the source material is this sparse, this description covers everything stated in the README itself, and no additional features or purpose should be assumed beyond what is shown here.
