Home Assistant dashboard design
for real households.

Out of the box, Home Assistant shows you everything it can find. Every sensor, every switch, every diagnostic value, in one long list. That view is genuinely useful if you are the person who set the system up, and close to useless for everybody else in the house.

A dashboard is the screen your household actually touches. If someone has to think about where a control is, or scroll past forty things they do not care about to reach the one they do, the system has failed no matter how good the automations behind it are.

In most homes there are four or five controls that get used every day, and a long tail of things that get used twice a year. Good design puts the first group one tap away and files the second group behind a clear route.

So we watch what you actually reach for. The kitchen screen opens on lights, timers and the shopping list. Your phone opens on locks, the garage and the cameras. Nothing on screen requires anyone to know the technical name of a device.

The person cooking dinner and the person leaving for work do not need the same view, so they should not get the same one. We build per user profiles and per room views on the same system.

Children get a view they cannot break. Guests get one that does not expose your cameras or your locks. You get everything, including the parts nobody else needs to see.

A phone is where most homes start, and it is genuinely enough. A wall mounted tablet is what turns the system into part of the house rather than an app you have to remember to open. It usually goes wherever the household naturally gathers, which is nearly always the kitchen or the entry.

Where a cable can be run, a wired tablet is powered permanently and never goes flat. Where it cannot, the design adapts. That decision comes out of the site visit, not out of a catalogue.

Every dashboard is handed over with a written layout document explaining why it is built the way it is. You keep full edit access, so you are free to move things around later, and a future installer can pick up the thread without starting again.

You can also try the idea before you commit. Our dashboard designer lets you pick the purpose, the screen, the layout and the palette, and see it render live. And when you want it built properly, the dashboard design service shows exactly what is included.
