I recently enhanced the person cards on my dashboard to display some mobile phone sensor data (check here). In addition, I now also added the daily steps by using the Steps sensor of my mobile phone in combination with a utility helper sensor, which counts the daily steps, as the mobile Steps sensor is an increasing counter without daily reset. This is how it looks now:
To include the daily steps, you first have to enable the Steps sensor in the Home Assistant Companion App on your mobile phone.
Next, create a utility sensor which uses the Steps sensor as Input and daily resets the counted steps.
The utility sensor history should look like this after a few days:
Now we can add the utility sensor to the dashboard. As I’m using the vertical-stack-in-card, I simply had to add a new horizontal-stack to the person card to get a new line, and include a mushroom-chips-card which displays the steps.

I noticed, that the Steps sensor sometimes does not count steps, and it helps to have some separate steps counter app running on the phone like Paseo.
