Homeglance - a modern mobile-first dashboard for Home Assistant

Homeglance โ€” a modern, mobile-first dashboard for Home Assistant (HA Add-on, zero-config)

Hi everyone! :waving_hand:

I've been building Homeglance โ€” a PWA dashboard for Home Assistant that runs alongside your existing Lovelace, not instead of it. The goal: an iOS-home-screen-style experience โ€” drag-and-drop widgets, smooth animations, glassmorphism, themes, multi-user โ€” with no YAML and no changes to your HA config.










What makes it different

  • Everything is set up by tapping, not editing YAML โ€” add a widget, pick an entity from a list, done.
  • Widgets are adaptive: the same tile shrinks to a single icon or expands into a full card depending on its size.
  • Multiple pages with a bottom dock bar, swipe to switch between them.
  • Multi-user: separate profiles with an optional PIN, each with its own layout.

Zero-config when installed as an HA Add-on

Under HA Ingress the add-on talks to HA through the Supervisor token, server-side. No Long-Lived tokens to create and copy around โ€” you install it and it just works. The token never leaves the container.

28 widgets โ€” lights (with RGB color wheel), switches, locks, covers, climate, media player, Music Assistant, cameras, weather, sensors with history, energy, calendar, map, room hubs, notification feed, webhook button, glucose monitoring (CGM), and more.

Also: dark / light / auto themes plus accent colors, PWA-installable on phone and desktop, and layout sync across devices through HA storage.

Install

  • HA OS / Supervised: Settings โ†’ Add-ons โ†’ Add-on Store โ†’ โ‹ฎ โ†’ Repositories โ†’ add https://github.com/Ivkaiv/homeglance โ†’ install Homeglance.
  • HA Container / Core: Docker Compose โ€” the compose file is in the repo.

Status: this is alpha. It's been running in my own home for weeks, but there are no public users yet, so expect some rough edges. Bug reports and ideas are very welcome.

That no longer exists.
Add-on term has been replaced months ago.
I suggest some edits here and in your Git to prevent new users from sending you issues when they cannot load your stuff.

Thanks for catching that, @Sir_Goodenough โ€” you're right. I've updated the install instructions in the README, the add-on README and the docs to the current path.

Are there plans for a Android style experience too?

Asking for the other 72% of users...

The HomeGlance server mentioned - will this be an added ecosystem needed to be maintained on parallel to HomeAssistant? Will it survive a HomeAssistant core update or system crash?
