A beautiful Home Assistant dashboard that's finished out of the box. No card-stitching, no theme-hunting. Built for wall tablets and the whole family. Runs on your network.

Hey Product Hunt! Solo founder here. I love Home Assistant. I could never say the same about its dashboard. It runs my whole house, but out of the box it looks like a settings menu, and making it nice ate my weekends. So I built the dashboard I wanted: GlassHome. Drag-and-drop, looks finished the second you open it, and simple enough that my wife actually uses it (biggest win). It sits right next to your existing setup, nothing to migrate. 9 months later it's grown into an ecosystem of nine repos/projects (most of them open source): 95 releases shipped, 35 published widgets, 7.7K widget downloads, and 883 people in the Discord shaping the roadmap. The piece I'm proudest of is the Widget SDK. Weird out of all I built this is the one I am telling you about, and I know SDK sounds technical, but I swear it's cool: creators build widgets in real code with full freedom over how it looks and behaves, and one command (`widget-cli publish`) puts it in everyone's hands. Shoutout to Coasting24, the first person other than me to build on with it. Better widgets in two weeks than I made in months. That's the whole idea: don't like it? Change it. Don't write code? A widget browser is built right into the dashboard: browse the catalog, hit install, done. Like an app store for your smart home. And yes, "anyone can publish code that runs on your dashboard" should raise an eyebrow. It sure as hell raised mine too. A widget can only reach your HA and GlassHome (browser-enforced, not a pinky-promise), never holds your keys, and only touches the devices you approve (a weather widget can't unlock your door). Full write-up: https://glasshome.app/docs/widge... Most of GlassHome is free. PRO is a one-time purchase, no subscription: $19.99 early-bird (50% off), and I'm holding that price through launch day for PH before it goes back to $39.99. Curious? Try the demo, no install: https://demo.glasshome.app Home: https://glasshome.app/ · Install (a few clicks): https://glasshome.app/docs/insta... · FAQ: https://glasshome.app/#faq I'm here all day. Tell me: what's the one widget your dashboard is missing? <3

How does it handle updates when Home Assistant itself changes, or am I stuck maintaining the layout whenever core gets a big release?

How does this handle updates to Home Assistant itself, and can you still drop in custom cards when you really need to?

running it on a 10 inch wall tablet and the layout actually looks intentional right away, which is not something i can say for the countless hours i spent tweaking my own dashboard. love that my partner can use it without asking me what a tile means.

Finally gave this a spin on a wall tablet and it just works out of the box. Clean, readable, and the whole family can actually use it without me being the on-call tech support.

The prebuilt layouts for wall tablets are such a smart move, finally something Home Assistant can hand to non-technical family members without a week of explaining cards. Clean execution.
