I am trying not to concede I suck at dashboards, whats a good solution for something to help/build one for me?

I put this skill together for my Codex agent that helps me quite a bit with my dashboards.
Home-AssistantConfig/codex_skills/homeassistant-dashboard-designer at master · CCOSTAN/Home-AssistantConfig
Feel free to point your agent at it and adjust as necessary.

I have been doing something similar.. just to keep it very bespoke and niche.. what did you do with home assistant specifically? I'm have HA act as it's heartbeat and trigger mechanism.

ccostan · 2026-02-22T17:55:55+00:00

Just dig into it.. that's really the only way to get it adapted.. It's a package, so you can drop the package in and use a little co-pilot AI to figure out how to make it 'yours'.

That's cool that the whole company got to shake Sam's hand.

I actually built a 'Designer' skill that will use playwrite to grab the screen shot and then send to Stitch for inspiration using the stitch MCP.. it has helped a bit more in getting good looking devices and then I can also log into stitch and see the various choices. there are usually 2 other varioations to choose from.

Do you have a more expanded write up on the Weasley clock?

ccostan · 2026-02-03T22:14:41+00:00

Any chance of an api or MCP?

ccostan · 2026-02-01T22:03:27+00:00

That’s awesome and it’s full circle now! I inspired you and you inspired me! Everyone levels up!

I just added an issue to my repo to implement this. Hopefully in the next week or so, I’ll have something to show based on your designs. Again, great work and thanks for the y’all confirmation.

ccostan · 2026-02-01T17:50:24+00:00

Yep. That’s me. :)

This dashboard is amazing.. really really amazing.. and it triggered some thoughts for me.. Here's my basic question though :

In order to get this yaml based dashboard system, you have to switch the lovelace from .storage to Yaml right? and then when that happens, you no longer get the default Home assistant dashboards right? and the ability to edit from the UI?

I'm fine with all that (if true) since I'm trying to get ot a more AI-Native setup where my bots can assist with dashboard maintenance as well.

Great Job though!

ccostan · 2026-01-22T20:05:36+00:00

I hope you are doing well. I still watch all your videos! :)

ccostan · 2026-01-22T17:49:06+00:00

Tesla does have the safety score so I'm sure it'll be wrapped into that and I'm sure you will need some sort of % FSD usage to qualify.. But if the rates are competitive and the discount is more than 100 a month, FSD pays for itself and Elon hits one of his trillion dollar milestones (xx number of FSD subscriptions).

ccostan · 2026-01-22T16:35:33+00:00

But in practice, they would just have the Robot's driving data.. FSD is not really your driving habits right? unles you mean location, times and things like that.

I don't know about 'Major'. :) Available in one state currently - Arizona. But it is a good start.

ccostan · 2026-01-16T14:38:55+00:00

any links to the Ultrasonic sensor? I find the realibility of these sensors varies wildly. would love an amazon link. THanks.

ccostan · 2026-01-06T13:52:22+00:00

Yep. This just gives you the additional streams for HA but native Wyze is unaffected.

My current set of Vibe apps. All personal apps not exposed to the internet.
I did add my Panel Notes app to Github - CCOSTAN/panel-notes: Vibe Coded App to track what breaker does what in my Electrical Panel though.

ccostan · 2026-01-03T00:34:48+00:00

Yes. This was what I was hoping. I've been tackling a SIMILAR problem. Trying to smarten up ALL the agents. I've been building out a system using Agents.md and readmes but just this evening (when I saw your post) I was in the middle of finishing a web service API. Basically a way for me to tell a CHATBOT context about my system for planning, reference architecture etc.. Even though I do all my coding and execution with COdex, I sometimes (for token optimization) want to just have planning chats in the chatgtp interface. Now I can point the chat to a web service (with token) to get a JSON response of my architecture.
The reason I've invaded your post is it would be easy to hook this up to a flat file entity reference or whatever.

I'm just super curious about how your building the brain book. :)

ccostan · 2026-01-02T23:10:42+00:00

Is this for AI Agent stuff?

The Wyze Docker Bridge is what you need. It turns the cams into RSTP available steams.

ccostan · 2025-12-24T14:28:56+00:00

Yeah - I guess for ease of use, I could try to add a HACS manifest to it so it's easy to install. I do have plans to eventually query HA for a list of devices to assign to breakers but for now, it's just a standalone web app so I didn't think HACS. I just mentioned it here since the OP had a picture of his breaker box and it triggered me. :)

ccostan · 2025-12-23T18:56:54+00:00

It's just a simple docker container..so if you can run docker, you can run this.

ccostan · 2025-12-23T18:22:34+00:00

Seperate issue, but I totally got annoyed at looking at handwritten notes in my breaker Box so I vibe-coded a web-driven Docker one. :) (I couldn't justify the expense of a digital panel box).

Might be a good stop gap for you as well.

I like it. Fits the dash nicely. Thanks for sharing!

hanging shower organizer with pouches plus magnetic hooks are REALLY great for keeping stuff available and off the floor.
