I’m super excited to share a preliminary version of my open-source project: Linus Dashboard.
This Plug n Play auto-organized magic dashboard is designed to transform your Home Assistant experience by automatically organizing your devices and rooms into intuitive smart sections.
What is Linus Dashboard?
Linus Dashboard offers:
Plug n Play Simplicity: No complex setup needed—just install and enjoy.
Room-Based Organization: All devices are neatly displayed and grouped by room.
Device-Focused Sections: Quickly access and control your lights, sensors, and more.
Modern Design: A sleek and fully responsive interface that works beautifully across all devices.
The goal is to provide a ready-to-use solution that simplifies and enhances the Home Assistant user experience.
Follow the installation instructions in the README.

This version is fully functional but still in beta. Your feedback will be invaluable for fine-tuning the final details before an official release.
A big thank you to everyone who takes the time to test Linus Dashboard and share their thoughts. Your feedback will ensure it becomes a go-to solution for the Home Assistant community.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or feedback!
unable to load, at the first screen with “alarm and “weather entity” choice, I have no alarm thus not options and it gives me the error " Not all required fields are filled in”
Thank you so much for being the very first tester of Linus Dashboard! Your feedback is incredibly valuable.
I’ve just pushed a fix (version 1.0.1) to handle cases where no entity is selected for alarms or weather. This should resolve the issue you encountered with the “Not all required fields are filled in” error.
Please update to the latest version and let me know if it works smoothly now. I’m here to help if you run into anything else!
Thanks again for your support—your testing makes all the difference!
didn’t have much of a chance to play with it but I did get it installed. I like the looks of it. I did notice that on a desktop the rows stay narrow, not the best use of the screen space. On my phone it looks great.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I’m glad to hear you like the look of Linus Dashboard. You’re absolutely right—there’s still work to be done on optimizing the layout for tablets and desktops, and I’m actively working on that.
Do you see any other improvements or features that could be worth considering for future updates? Your input is incredibly valuable and helps shape the direction of the project.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts!

Performance improvements: Faster loading times and better overall stability.
Highlights from v1.0.3
