+
+### Tabbed Homelab Views
+
+The Homelab dashboard is split into 4 subviews (tabs at top of page):
+
+| Tab | URL path | Content |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Overview** | `/homelab-view/homelab` | Calendar (Baikal + Radarr upcoming), Kuma summary chips, library totals (Movies/TV/Anime/Music/Ebooks), Quick Launch 12-button grid |

+| **samurai** | Imperial red + gold on sumi-ink black | Noto Serif JP / Shippori Mincho |
+
+Each theme overrides `--mdc-select-*` + `--mdc-text-field-*` + `--mdc-theme-surface` so dialogs and dropdowns stay readable across all aesthetics.
+
+### HACS Frontend Cards (installed + registered)
+
+- `mushroom` (v5.1.1) — touch-friendly tiles (template/chips/person/light)

+
+**Jarvis (default)** — `conversation.jarvis` ← Ollama @ `http://100.83.230.112:11434` (Atlantis, ~11 tok/s on CPU). Wake word: **"Ok Nabu"** via openWakeword. `prefer_local_intents: true` — HA's built-in matcher handles light/scene commands; Ollama kicks in for ambiguous queries.

+
+### REST sensors — live homelab telemetry
+
+Defined in [`sensors.yaml`](../../../hosts/physical/concord-nuc/homeassistant/sensors.yaml), API keys in [`secrets.yaml`](../../../hosts/physical/concord-nuc/homeassistant/secrets.yaml). Covers Prowlarr, Bazarr, LazyLibrarian, Audiobookshelf. Sonarr/Radarr/SABnzbd/Plex migrated to native HA integrations. All REST sensors have `homelab_rest_*` unique_ids.
+
+### Energy Dashboard (built-in, configured)
+
+- **Grid**: `sensor.current_bill_electric_usage_to_date` + `sensor.current_bill_electric_cost_to_date` (opower/PG&E)
+- **Gas**: `sensor.current_bill_gas_usage_to_date` + `sensor.current_bill_gas_cost_to_date`
+- **Device**: Guava-TrueNAS plug — `sensor.guava_energy_today_s_consumption`
+
+### Automations
+
+📭 **None configured** — `automations.yaml` is still empty. Planned: lights-off when no one home, bedtime routine triggered by `binary_sensor.oura_ring_rest_mode`, Movie Mode on Plex play detection.
+
+### Co-located Services (Same NUC Host)
+
+| Service | Port |
+|---|---|
+| Matter Server | host network |
+| Plex | 32400 |
+| AdGuard Home | 53, 3000 |
+| WireGuard (wg-easy) | 51820 |
+| Syncthing | 8384 |
+| Invidious / Materialious | 3000 / 3001 |
+| YourSpotify | 4000 |
+| Piper / Whisper / OpenWakeword | 10200 / 10300 / 10400 |
+| Watchtower, Node Exporter, Dozzle agent, Diun | — |
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Open work
+
+### Concord
+- **Plex integration**: added via UI 2026-04-19 — 6 library sensors enabled (were `disabled_by=integration` by default)
+- **Frigate NVR**: deferred — see [FRIGATE_PLAN.md](../../../hosts/physical/concord-nuc/homeassistant/FRIGATE_PLAN.md) for full deployment plan
+- **Automations**: empty; user building these manually
+- **opower reauth**: PG&E integration flagged reauth — needed to refresh bill/cost data
+
+### Honolulu
+
+1. **Add Bedroom "No Motion" Automation** (auto-off after 15-20 min)
+2. **Add Tailscale Add-on** for remote access without Cloudflare tunnel
+3. **Consider**: phone-presence detection, sunrise/sunset-based timing, time-of-day brightness

+| RAM / Flash | 128 MB DDR2 / 128 MB NAND |
+| OS | GL.iNet firmware (OpenWrt 21.02, kernel 5.4) |

+| Ports | 1x WAN, 1x LAN (10/100 Mbps) |

+| Role | Thread Border Router (OTBR) — not a Matter controller; Matter runs on top via python-matter-server already deployed on the NUC |
+
+## Where to Plug It In
+
+**Must land on the same L2 segment as Home Assistant.**
+
+HA runs as a Docker container on `vish-concord-nuc` with `network_mode: host`. The NUC sits on `192.168.68.0/22` (gateway `192.168.68.1`) — **deliberately separated** from the main homelab LAN (`192.168.0.0/24`).
+
+Thread/Matter border router discovery uses mDNS (`_meshcop._udp`), which is link-local. Cross-subnet discovery would require an mDNS reflector (not currently deployed). So:
+
+- ✅ Plug S200 WAN into a switch/AP on `192.168.68.0/22` (same segment as the NUC).
+- ❌ Do not plug into the main 192.168.0.0/24 LAN — HA will not see it.
+
+## Existing Stack on Concord NUC
+
+Compose: `concord_nuc/homeassistant.yaml`
+
+| Service | Purpose | Status |
+|---------|---------|--------|
+| `homeassistant` | HA Core (host networking) | Running |
+| `matter-server` | python-matter-server (host networking) | Running |
+| `piper` | Wyoming TTS (port 10200) | Running |
+| `whisper` | Wyoming STT (port 10300) | Running |
+| `openwakeword` | Wyoming wake word (port 10400) | Running |
+
+The Matter server is already in place — the S200 plugs in as the *radio* layer for Thread. No compose changes needed to add the S200 itself.
+
+## Integration Steps (When Device Arrives)
+
+1. **Physical setup**
+   - Connect S200 WAN to the 192.168.68.0/22 network.
+   - Power via USB-C (5V/2A).
+   - First-boot admin UI reachable at `192.168.8.1` until reconfigured, then at the DHCP-assigned 192.168.68.x address.
+   - Update firmware, set an admin password.
+
+2. **Verify mDNS discovery from the NUC**
+   ```bash
+   # Run on concord NUC (Tailscale: 100.72.55.21)
+   avahi-browse -rt _meshcop._udp
+   ```
+   Should list the S200 as a Thread Border Router with a TXT record containing `rv=1`, `tv=1.3.0`, etc.
+
+3. **Add to Home Assistant**
+   - Settings → Devices & Services → Add Integration → **Thread**
+   - S200 should auto-discover. Add it as an External Thread Border Router.
+   - Settings → Devices & Services → Add Integration → **Matter (BETA)** (already configured to talk to the local matter-server container).
+
+4. **Pair Matter devices**
+   - Use the Home Assistant Companion app (iOS/Android) to pair.
+   - The app hands off Thread commissioning credentials to each device so it joins the S200's mesh.
+
+## Gotchas
+
+- **Firmware lag**: GL.iNet's OTBR implementation trails upstream OpenThread. Check the admin UI for firmware updates before committing to the device.
+- **No Zigbee**: S200 is Thread-only. Existing Zigbee devices (if any) still need a separate coordinator (e.g., a Zigbee stick on the NUC via Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA).
+- **Thread credential backup**: Once the S200 forms an operational dataset (network name, PAN ID, network key), export and back it up — losing it means re-commissioning every Thread device.
+- **HA network_mode: host is load-bearing**: If HA is ever migrated to bridge networking, Matter/Thread discovery breaks. Keep host networking.
