Finally, a beautiful dashboard for Home Assistant

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.
How does it handle updates when Home Assistant itself changes, or am I stuck maintaining the layout whenever core gets a big release?
@dilekfrqa You just update your dashboard app (addon or container) that's it. Everything else is handled automatically. Widgets will then update from inside the dashboard, but it also happens automatically as soon as there you open it.
GlassHome is meant to be as friction-less as possible. So don't worry about that. You should not have to interact with any code or plumbing while using it
How does this handle updates to Home Assistant itself, and can you still drop in custom cards when you really need to?
@ela5lsr You simply update GlassHome. Everything else is handled automatically. HomeAssistant rarely releses breaking updated but if they do GlassHome will already be on the new version. So you just have to keep it up to date.
Custom widgets are the heart of it all. You have a whole toolkit to build them and there are the docs to help you https://glasshome.app/docs/widget-sdk. More than half of the available widgets are from other people already
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.
@cumatfcj That was the goal all along! Glad to hear that :D You can also join the Discord and share your setup
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.
@sareevga This is the exact essence of GlassHome! Glad you and your family are enjoying it
Love the focus on shipping something that works out of the box instead of another dashboard people have to spend hours customizing. Curious what made you decide that "no card-stitching, no theme-hunting" was the pain worth building around rather than adding even more Home Assistant features?
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.
@metintuncttkx Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words
