The best "Stream Deck" / Macro Software for Home Assistant?

Hello community,

I saw the Elgato StreamDeck at my friends desk and find it very interesting, especially if you combine it with HA.

Because of the high prices of an Elgato Stream Deck I was looking for alternatives and found:

  • Touch Portal
  • Stream-Pi
  • Macro Deck
  • Deckboard

The most of these can be used on an Android device or raspi (as well as Windows / Mac etc…).

Sounds all interesting, but I am wondering which one is the most supported one in relation to HA?
Which one offer the most functionality (maybe not only to switch a light on, but also to get sensor data displayed) and which one is the most easiest to implement with HA?

Has anybody of you experience with these Elgato alternatives?
If so, what are you doing with it and can you share some pictures how it looks like?

Many thanks in advance!

Truth be told, it’s a case of “buy once, cry once”.

I want an assistant gizmo like this to “just work” and the streamdeck devices work quite well. This leaves time free to struggle with OTHER home automation hacking…
