#### Possible configuration values for screensaver config

key | optional | type | default | description
-- | -- | -- | -- | --
`entity` | True | string | `weather.example` | weather entity from homeassistant
`entities` | True | string | `None` | contains a list of entities of this card (will be used instead of entity)
`statusIcon1` | True | complex | `None` | status icon left to the date string, config similar to weatherOverride
`statusIcon2` | True | complex | `None` | status icon right to the date string, config similar to weatherOverride
`doubleTapToUnlock` | True | boolean | `False` | requires to tap screensaver two times
`theme` | True | complex | | configuration for theme
`defaultCard` | True | string | `None` | default page after exiting screensaver; only works with top level cards defined in cards; needs to be a navigation item, see subpages (navigate.type_key) This config option will also be evaluated as a HomeAssistant Template.
`key` | True | string | `None` | Used by navigate items
`type` | True | string | `screensaver` | `screensaver` or `screensaver2`
Example for the a screensaver config with custom entities/overrides:
```yaml
screensaver:
entities:
- entity: weather.demo_weather_north
- entity: weather.demo_weather_north
type: 0
- entity: weather.demo_weather_north
type: 1
- entity: weather.demo_weather_north
type: 2
- entity: sensor.energy_usage
```
Using a 6th entity will automatically activate the alternative layout.

```yaml
screensaver:
entities:
- entity: weather.demo_weather_north
- entity: weather.demo_weather_north
type: 0
- entity: weather.demo_weather_north
type: 1
- entity: sensor.energy_usage
- entity: delete
- entity: sensor.indoor_temp
icon: mdi:home-thermometer-outline
```
You can use override the options described on the [entities documentation page](https://docs.nspanel.pky.eu/entities/) to override colors, names or values of the entities.
With Version 4.0.0 there is another alternative layout for the screensaver:
Configuration is similar, you just need to add `type: screensaver2` to switch the layout.

```yaml
screensaver:
type: screensaver2
entities:
- entity: weather.demo_weather_north
```
#### Possible configuration values for screensaver theme config (only normal screensaver layout not screensaver2)
key | option | type | default | description
-- | -- | -- | -- | --
`background` | True | list | Black | `[R, G, B]`
`time` | True | list | White | `[R, G, B]`
`timeAMPM` | True | list | White | `[R, G, B]`
`date` | True | list | White | `[R, G, B]`
`tMainText` | True | list | White | `[R, G, B]`
`tForecast1` | True | list | White | `[R, G, B]`
`tForecast2` | True | list | White | `[R, G, B]`
`tForecast3` | True | list | White | `[R, G, B]`
`tForecast4` | True | list | White | `[R, G, B]`
`tForecast1Val` | True | list | White | `[R, G, B]`
`tForecast2Val` | True | list | White | `[R, G, B]`
`tForecast3Val` | True | list | White | `[R, G, B]`
`tForecast4Val` | True | list | White | `[R, G, B]`
`bar` | True | list | White | `[R, G, B]`
`tMainTextAlt2` | True | list | White | `[R, G, B]`
`tTimeAdd` | True | list | White | `[R, G, B]`
Specify colours as red green and blue values from 0-255 e.g. `[255, 0, 0]` for red or `[0, 0, 255]` for blue. These are translated internally to RGB565 (note that this has lower color depth so the colours may not appear the same). Also note that the screen has a low contrast ratio, so colors look sigificantly different at full display brightness and lowest brightness.
Example for the theme config:
```yaml
screensaver:
theme:
date: [255, 0, 0]
```
Config Example for configured statusIcons
```
screensaver:
entity: weather.k3ll3r
statusIcon1:
entity: switch.example_item
statusIcon2:
entity: binary_sensor.example_item
```
It is possible to increase the size of the font used for the icons by adding `altFont: True` to the statusIcon configuration. Icon/Color Overrides are also possible like on any other Entity.
Config Example for configured statusIcons with increased size of the icons
```
screensaver:
entity: weather.k3ll3r
statusIcon1:
entity: switch.example_item
altFont: True
statusIcon2:
entity: binary_sensor.example_item
altFont: True
```
Config Example for all white icons on screensaver
```
screensaver:

color: [255,255,255]
- entity: weather.demo_weather_north
type: 1
color: [255,255,255]
