Hello everyone! I’m excited to finally share my project with the HA community.
I built an app called zendō to control Home Assistant from a floor plan. I’ve always wanted to make my smart home simple and intuitive for my partner and guests. I was inspired by the floor plan projects that I’ve seen coming out of this community, and so I started building something that could work well for my family.
It has been a year since I started using this app, and it has become a natural extension of my dashboards. I still use the dashboards for advanced tasks, but this app is my go-to for daily needs.
It works well on both phones and tablets. I’ve been using it on my Mac too. Going native gave me a cross-platform experience, enabling features like a responsive floor plan with zooming and panning.
Features
- See the status of the home at a glance
- Control lights, thermostats, fans, blinds & curtains, music & media
- It works on phones and tablets, iOS as well as Android
- Inviting guests is easy by just sharing an invite link (which you can cancel at any time)
- A lot more features are coming up:
- Role-base access control (show/hide controllers for the floor plan based on the user)
- Control smart plugs and generic on/off devices & switches
- View security cameras
- Trigger automations directly from the floor plan
- and more…

I’ve decided to release zendō with the core experience free for everyone, while the Pro version will include some paid features. At this time, the Pro version is available for free to the Home Assistant community.
