Hello everyone!
I’d like to share my creation of a Sideview 2D dashboard.
After automating most of my house I still had the desire to install a dashboard suited to both read day-2-day information as well as interacting with the house.
I came to this solution after many attempts to create a clear, complete overview in a single dashboard.
Having a hobby-background in design I also wanted it to look, at least, decent. 
It’s installed on my kitchenwall on an ipad with permanent power-source.
I’ve taken quite some inspiration from other concepts and kept it all to a minimum with maximum clarity.
The code is not available as yet, i’m looking into making this a share-able template. But this can be tricky since no house is the same and I’m not having much technical background.
95% of what you see was created with button cards and a lot of creativity.
The concept:
The sideview 2D dashboard uses ‘tiles’ which each represent a room or zone in our house.
Each tile has a variable background-color ( greytones ) which determines how much natural daylight is measured. The lighter the grey, the more light in the room.
Room Temperatures of each room are shown at the bottom & motion-detection in a room/zone will cause the whole tile to blink twice.
The icon of the tile will light up gold/yellow once the (main) lights are switched on.
The lights can be simply managed by; a) single pressing a tile for toggle on/off b) press and hold for advanced options.
> I only use this as a fallback as most of the lights are managed automatically.
I’ve included some other smart-devices into the dashboard as well, such as: smart locks, covers, tv, washingmachine, doorsensors, climate control etc.
Some of which are animated.
After sunset the visual appeal will change to a night-scene; allowing control of our garden lights as well.
I’ve not included our audio-system since this is being controlled on the main dashboard.
What I still want to make:
-
Making a mobile-friendly version
-
Include weather/seasons in the theme
-
Design/ux tweeks
Hope this can be of value to others. 
Mike
and exactly what I need on my wall.
