Hakanban: a Trello-style Kanban board that runs inside Home Assistant (alpha)

Hakanban is a Trello-style Kanban board that runs inside Home Assistant. You install it through HACS as a custom integration.

Instead of wrapping an external service, it keeps everything natively in Home Assistant and maps the board onto HA's own building blocks:

  • a board is a device
  • a column is a todo list entity
  • a card is a todo item, with labels, due dates, comments and a markdown description

Because the board is made of real HA entities, it works with the rest of Home Assistant. You can script it, use it by voice through Assist ("add milk to the Groceries list"), trigger automations when cards change, and create cards from automations. For example, moving a card to Done can fire a notification, and a doorbell automation can drop a card into a list.

What works so far:

  • multiple boards, with drag and drop for cards and columns
  • labels, with filtering
  • due dates, and dated cards also show up on a per-board calendar entity
  • comments on cards
  • multi-line paste to create many cards at once
  • search, undo and redo
  • a full-page sidebar panel and an embeddable Lovelace card
