Hello Home Assistant community!
After about a year of development, I’m excited to finally share HA Studio Pro, a native dashboard editor I’ve been building for Home Assistant on both iPad and Android.
The idea started because I wanted an easier way to create beautiful wall-mounted tablet dashboards. While Home Assistant is incredibly powerful, I wanted a fully visual editor where I could drag, resize, and arrange cards directly on the screen and immediately see the results.
Features
- Native iPad and Android application
- Visual drag-and-drop dashboard editor
- Resizable and movable cards
- Live Home Assistant entity updates
- Multiple dashboard support
- Kiosk mode for always-on wall tablets
- Weather, climate, lights, switches, cameras, media, security, energy, gauges, clocks, calendars, and many other card types
- AI Assistant integration (OpenAI) for natural language smart home control
- Direct connection to Home Assistant using a Long-Lived Access Token (no cloud account required)
How it works
HA Studio Pro communicates directly with Home Assistant using the REST and WebSocket APIs, allowing it to receive live entity updates while providing a smooth native interface optimized for tablets.
Dashboard layouts are stored inside Home Assistant, making it easy to keep layouts synchronized across devices without maintaining a separate backend.
Built With
- React
- TypeScript
- Capacitor
- Home Assistant REST API
- Home Assistant WebSocket API
Why I built it
I wanted a dashboard builder that felt more like a design application than a configuration page. My goal was to let users focus on designing their dashboards instead of spending time positioning cards manually.
Demo
I’ve attached a short demo video showing the editor, creating dashboards, and interacting with Home Assistant in real time.

I’d really appreciate feedback from the Home Assistant community. Whether it’s feature suggestions, UI ideas, or something you’d like to see added, I’d love to hear your thoughts. This project has been a labor of love, and community feedback will help shape where it goes next.
Thanks for taking a look!
