Weyland-Yutani CRT Theme for Home Assistant

A minimalist sci-fi CRT-inspired theme for Home Assistant, modeled after the MU/TH/UR terminal interface from Alien.

"Building Better Worlds."
A retro-futuristic Home Assistant theme emulating the interface of the USCSS Nostromo.
Designed for fans of the Alien universe — monochrome phosphor glow, subtle scanlines, and Weyland-Yutani terminal typography.

Overview

The Weyland CRT Theme recreates the 1970s computer aesthetic of the Nostromo’s on-board computer, MU/TH/UR, while retaining full modern Home Assistant readability and performance.
It’s ideal for dashboards on wall-mounted tablets or dark ambient setups.

Weyland-Yutani Logo

The Weyland-Yutani Corp logo used in the preview is included in this repository (Weylandv2.png).

To use it in your own dashboard:

1. Download Weylandv2.png.
2. Copy it to your Home Assistant /config/www/ folder.
3. Reference it in your Lovelace dashboard as /local/Weylandv2.png.

Example usage

type: picture
image: /local/Weylandv2.png
tap_action:
  action: none
card_mod:
  style: |
    ha-card {
      --g: var(--nostromo-green, #00ff7a);
      background: transparent;
      border: none;
      box-shadow: none;
      display: flex;
      justify-content: center;
      align-items: center;
      padding: 0;
      filter: drop-shadow(0 0 10px rgba(0,255,122,0.35));
    }

This will render the Weyland-Yutani logo at the top of your dashboard with a subtle CRT phosphor glow effect, matching the Weyland CRT aesthetic.
