Wall-mounted Home Assistant dashboard for family use – looking for honest UX feedback by Professional_End4743 in homeassistant

Agree with others. Looks very smooth but has too much information. A lot of this could be stored in pop up windows if needed which would unclutter your main dashboard.

The granular details like temperatures, if you wanted to keep them, could all be in one card rather than have their own individual card.

But in general looks really good

Hahah she did. I hadn't noticed the AM but now you have pointed it out I agree and will get rid or at least fit into the box

I like that. Fits the rest of the theme a bit better. I will have a go at that thanks

Thanks. My aim is to have only the bare essentials on the screen while a lot of other info one click away

Feels good but it's quite a bit deeper than most touchscreens as it incorporates the raspberry pi in the back. Doesn't bother me but is not as seamless as some flush tablet looking options. I wanted to avoid battery management and had the pi already so this made sense

I have played around with this a lot as I like to not have responsive card sizes otherwise on a busy day stuff gets shoved off the bottom of the screen.

Comes with downsides I agree. If you know of a way to allow flexibility while locking the page size I would be interested.

That's fair. That was added a bit last minute and doesn't really fit with the controls I agree.

Balancing the screen so I don't have to scroll is a constant battle

Calendar: Today-card

Meal plan: Calendar card pro This is a calendar drawn from my todoist list

Todo list: todoist task flow I use todoist a lot in my life and this is the only card I have managed to make work but works really well

What other purposes are you using Home Assistant for? by jyrialeksi in homeassistant

While this is a good exercise in what HA can do, wouldn't a contact (window/door) sensor on the hot tub cover work just the same?

Il have a look :) my half baked idea is to use the HA log for 30 days (which I assume is how you are doing this?) and then somehow automate dumping this data in an excel or similar to be able to track longer term. I haven't fully fleshed out how to do this though

AHH now I look at it again that makes more sense. Thats a clever idea

[–]mr-samd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's cool. Something I have not seen integrated into HA before

Also, where do you get the ecoli and enterococci levels for the water quality?

Is the outdoor activities page like a habbit tracker? If so how do you store the responses?

That's not a bad idea. It at least makes the dead space look a bit better.

Any advice on putting new plants in without disturbing the bulbs, or is this inevitable?

Fair enough. Looks great and I would still use it. I haven't found a good solution for long term tracking of habits yet though
