What does this implement/fix?

Adds Game Day Scoreboard, Apollo Automation's live sports scoreboard firmware for the M-1 (ApolloAutomation/gameday-scoreboard-main), to the M-1 section:

  • New: Getting Started (Game Day Scoreboard) (products/m1/setup/getting-started-m1-game-day.md): flashing it from the Game Day installer (Rev6 only), Wi-Fi from the installer or the panel's hotspot, picking a team on the device page, adding it to Home Assistant, adopting it in ESPHome Device Builder, updates, the WizMote, and going back to WLED.
  • New: Flash your lights when your team scores (products/m1/examples/game-day-score-lights.md): a Level 3 automation that flashes a light when the followed team scores, using the Game Status entity. It flashes only when the same game is still live and the followed team's score went up, so a switch between favorites or live games never flashes, and basketball (a score on nearly every play) is called out. The template was checked in Jinja's sandbox against the firmware's Game Status formats: kickoff, live, halftime, final, either team scoring, a game switch, a new opponent, and the "not updating" suffix after an ESPN outage.
  • Choose Your Firmware gets a Game Day Scoreboard section, and the Introduction mentions it. Both pages are included by their Homey counterparts, so the new section has no Home Assistant buttons.
  • Nav: a Game Day Scoreboard group under M-1 (LED Matrix).

No Homey pages: the guides depend on Home Assistant (the ESPHome integration, automations, Device Builder), so they don't apply to the Homey tree beyond the shared Choose Your Firmware and Introduction text.

Publish timing: the guides link the Game Day installer at apolloautomation.github.io/gameday-scoreboard-main, which goes live with the firmware's first Apollo release. Hold the dev to main sync for this content until that release is out.

Types of changes

  • Typo / wording fix
  • Content update (correcting outdated info, adding missing steps, clarifications)
  • New page or new product section
  • Page move / rename (redirect added in mkdocs.yml)
  • Image / screenshot update
  • Nav / structure change
  • Site config or theme change
  • CI / workflows / dependencies — Does not publish

Checklist:

  • This PR targets the dev branch (not main)
  • Changes previewed locally with mkdocs serve
  • If pages were moved or renamed, redirects were added to mkdocs.yml
  • If new pages were added, nav was updated in mkdocs.yml

Tested with mkdocs build (clean apart from the local Cairo library missing for social cards) and a local preview of both new pages and both Choose Your Firmware pages; every internal link on them resolves.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

A getting-started guide for running Game Day Scoreboard on the M-1, an automation
that flashes your lights when your team scores, and a Game Day Scoreboard entry
on Choose Your Firmware and the introduction.

Walkthrough

The M-1 documentation adds the Game Day Scoreboard as a firmware option. It includes setup instructions, Home Assistant integration details, and an example automation that flashes a light when a team scores.

The setup guide covers Home Assistant discovery and adoption, firmware updates, WizMote controls, and restoring WLED.
Score-triggered light automation
docs/products/m1/examples/game-day-score-lights.md, mkdocs.yml
The example guide describes an automation that flashes a light when the first listed team’s score increases during a live game or halftime. The M-1 navigation links to the setup and automation guides.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3e680

The guide does not warn that anyone on the Wi-Fi can change settings or install updates, and it does not place the Rev6 prerequisite in the required callout. Add those warnings before publishing; the main security risk arises if the device is exposed beyond a trusted network.

A rabbit spots the scoreboard glow,
And checks the score as teams go.
A light flashes when points rise,
The setup guide shows where to look,
Then hops away beneath the skies.

## Game Day Scoreboard

[Game Day Scoreboard](https://github.com/ApolloAutomation/gameday-scoreboard-main) turns the M-1 into a live sports scoreboard for your team: the next game, the live score and clock, and a splash in your team's color when they score, across the NFL, college football, MLB, the NBA, the WNBA, men's college basketball, the NHL, MLS, and the Premier League. It reads the scores from ESPN by itself, serves its own settings page, and shows up in Home Assistant as an ESPHome device. It needs a **Rev6** controller.

Present the Rev6 requirement as a prerequisite callout.

Move the Rev6 requirement into a note admonition so readers see this hardware prerequisite when they compare firmware options.

As per coding guidelines, “Flag must-know info with admonitions (note for prerequisites).”

Warn readers that device settings and updates are not protected by a password.

The firmware README says that any device on the Wi-Fi can change settings, updates have no password protection, and the panel should not be exposed to the internet. (github.com) Line 88 only explains that no API key is needed. Add a warning to keep the panel on a trusted network and not forward its ports.

… automation to one game

The automation now flashes only when the same game is still live, so a switch between
favorites or live games never flashes, and it reads Game Status after a short outage.
Basketball is called out, since the panel only celebrates the win there.
