Homekit Dashboard: complete automatic dashboards with Apple Home look and feel

A user-friendly dashboard for everyday use of Home Assistant. It has the look and feel of the Apple Home app so it’s intuitive for friends and family. It’s a standard Home Assistant dashboard so works on both Android and Apple devices (and in browsers).

This is not just a skin or a theme. It’s a complete dashboard generator that automatically creates all pages for domains, areas, sensor lists, etc,. all the links, badges and backgrounds, and does all the layout.

It automatically follows all changes to your Home Assistant configuration. It uses custom strategy so adding or deleting devices and entities, moving them between areas, changing names, backgrounds, etc. is immediately reflected in the dashboard.

Homekit Dashboard makes extensive use of Home Assistant areas and labels (“On Home View”, “Favorite”, “In Summaries”) and other settings. Areas drive dashboard creation, only entities assigned to an area are included in the dashboard. Labels determine what entities are included on the home page and in badges. Adding entities is described in the Populating the dashboard page in the wiki.

When installed with HACS it works out of the box: 3 lines of YAML are all you need to create a complete dashboard. A configuration can optionally be attached to the dashboard to fine-tune the layout, but as much as possible the dashboard uses your Home Assistant configuration. So for instance a background set on an area immediately shows up in the dashboard.

There is a fair amount of documentation in the wiki. I hope you like it!

This is fantastic! I just installed it and got it up and running. Looks great but the best part is the custom UI strategy using device areas + labels.

Thanks for all your hard work on this!

Thanks, glad you like it! Would love to hear your feedback after you’ve used it for a while.
