Please attempt the floor plan one. It is stunning, and by you attempting it, you could hopefully guide us around the parts that you found challenging. Would make for an epic little series. I would love to see the whole process that you go through
are we going to see you attempt to recreate this dashboard anytime soon? :) getting my tablet this week and gonna give it a try myself (might skip the 3d tab and recreate the rest as a start, you know more like a Mattias like dashboard)@@EverythingSmartHome
I really like the floor plan by Luke Vinck! I would love to see your version of that. I tried to do his earlier, but it was way out of my league. If you do it, I would love to see you do a sort of walk through & explain how to do it
@@EverythingSmartHome Yes! I tried to order one, but get errors. Andrej will sorry it out. Let's promote his merch. I'll record some videos with his hoodie too. Great idea! 👍🏻
I used Luke Vink's floorplan as inspiration for my own. It's pretty incredible, and can be a bit mind-blowing for the person you're showing it off to. It looks "real" enough that my girlfriend jokes that when we're home, you can see us walking around in the image. Maybe once you release the presence detector I'll get that working ;) it's all png overlays, done with css blend mode "lighten." For the color lights, it's important to render your images with RED light so that the hue shift code better represents the actual color. In fact, I blend 3 different images to get accurate color from my rgbw lights. The first image is red light for the color shift, the second image is cool white to represent the rbg white light, and the third image is a warm white to display the warm white channel. In the end it does a nice job of colouring the scene, even if it takes quite a few rendered images to accomplish. I've also added some gifs that show music notes when audio is playing, a spinning fan when the overhead fan is on, and a "breathing" glowing light in the closet where (and when) my mail arrives. I won't post my house layout in public forums... but If you have any questions I can post bits of my config. Cheers!
@@takore2 I directly copied the yaml from luke's github, cut it apart to figure out how the components work, then put it back together to suit my needs. a guy named Aaron Godfrey also had some helpful tutorials.
could you elaborate how you included the second and third image for white? I've created my dashboard with these techniques aswell but always had problem when adding an additional white image
I started on a wall mounted tablet dashboard, but ended up not going ahead. I realised that nobody would use it. So I am just doing a phone dashboard for the family. Nice video, gave me some inspiration ❤
Would really like you to do Luke Vink as a tutorial as well. 😁 I wonder how difficult it would be to maintain the floorplan view, if you rearrange lamps etc or add/remove devices.
As someone who’s done my own floorplan in hassio, it’s quite a lot of work. Rendering the plan with each light on/off, and then CSS for color or brightness. Adding a ceiling fan now, again using CSS for rotating the image based on the level from the switch
It would be interesting if someone wrote a node based renderer for processing and generating all of the images needed. Having to use gIMP for everything manually takes some time and effort. On top of that, some of my scenes have two states, since I have open/closed states for the garage door in my floorplan too
@@EverythingSmartHome I get that! xD I actually found something that explains the basic pretty well.. Maybe you can use it and learn us how to make the other one haha.. ;) Thank you for some great videos on the home automation stuff.. Your wireguard video really helped me a lot.. ;D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xGIH6MlbRn0.html
Don't recall a video on your dashboard. I remember a video about mounting it on the wall. What looked interesting about your current dashboard is that the content of main panel changed to display different rooms and wondered how you achieved that? How did you size your other panels or did they just naturally end up that way?
I would like a guide of how to create a functional yet easy to maintain dashboard. A fancy dashboard might impress others but if I have to spend hours messing with it for every new sensor or light I add it quickly loses its appeal.
Very nice dashboards. I made something similar with a wall mounted tablet for my OpenHAB 3 home automation system, with automatic recharge. It is definitively the best mode to operate. Thanks for sharing
Really enjoyed "Dashboard 5 - Luke Vink" as it really looks clean, functional, professional. Im looking for a configuration that you could install for others that looks good and feels easy to use.
You know you're in South Africa when your on-wall tablet dashboard has the load shedding stage displayed on it. And if you want to make your friends and family very envious, you display your house battery state of charge nice and large on it too. LOL. Yep, I plan to do one next year.
If you run a tablet in kiosk, could you also use the wifi and Bluetooth on the tablet as a wifi proxy? I.e. would it be possible to automatically connect to a Bluetooth speaker on reboot along with the dashboard?
I was Pretty happy with my Kitchen Tablet dashboard.. now i have something to think about changing LOL . Nice work though, i like you tend to get bored and want to change things or improve them.
do you have a guide in a video for UI based setup of a tablet dashboard? Curious how you handle the multiple columns, and if its possible to have one layout that changes smartly between mobile and tablet with reformatting?
I have no knowledge of dashboard set up. I have an old Huawei tablet. What do I need to setup my dashboard on this tablet. Can you guide me what I need hardware /software to get started. Thanks
Hello, greetings from Norway! I just started following you and you have a lot of good videos about Home Assistant! But what I really like is the Dashboard that you made yourself for the pad that you hung on the wall! I've been trying to look through your videos to find a way to make it. But can't find it? Or am I the one who hasn't seen well enough? Does it exist? 🙂
Hi Lewis, I'm super interested in seeing you achieved the 2:1 split layout on you own tablet dashboard. Have looked a lot around and can't find a solution to this.
@@EverythingSmartHome I know, I turned it down untill we hit 16C then my significant other had enough and went out and bought air to air heatpump with her own savings
The one from danieljarhult is my favourite. But like you I would probably prefer it in dark mode. Personally I don't think the floor plan layouts are that useful. If you live in the house you will quickly learn which button does what and where they are. Maybe for guests, but I think think I want them them play around too much with my system.
I had a couple of different dashboard in use and i came to the conclusion that i dont need them. Every time i had a new one i used them for a few weeks or even less. After that the tablet or wallmount pc is just another brick in the wall and when it breaks i dont even mind.
Did you check out HomeHabit? You should definitely try that one, the coolest thing is that you can turn on the screen via a PIR for example. Very handy.
I've just started playing with HA with this sort of tablet home control in Monday, but I'm having so many issues with HA restoring ba k to factory settings and being unable to start add ons 😢
I am trying to figure out how to get the Computer Monitor Card that they have on Dashboard 4 for PFSense. Where can I get this CARD? I want to use that card with Open Hardware Monitor that I have installed on my server.
Love the video could you suggest a dashboard for amazon alexa for a senior citizen. I have a dashboard on my fire tablet 7" but I would like to have more than just the basic layout. Hope you don't mind me asking. Colin.
Thank you, I am really inspired by your videos. Still in the process of building my own house so have designed it to be a smart home. I would like to see a video of a dashboard on similar theme to Luke Vink's for the tablet, with a mobile version like yours ie minimaist . Your previous videos are excelent I have used them with my college student to show the benefits of quality IOT smart home design. Is there any reason why I can't use two different designed dashboards concurrently? One in living room, one in the master bedroom,
I have a quick question. Does Mushroom not work for anything larger than a standard mobile device? I'd love to use it for my tablet or laptop view but it tends to stack horizontally after a couple rows of cards and doesn't easily stack vertically. Or at least I can't figure out an easy way to lay it out for tablet.
I suggest to use the grid card to get the look you are looking for. Gives you way more freedom of placing things where you like and with a bit of css you get proper spacing, colors, rounded corners and such. It is not to hard to learn and there are a lot of examples out there.
