A Home-Approved Dashboard - Chapter 1: What about Grace?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лют 2024
- Grace Hopper was a computer scientist, mathematician, and US Navy admiral who had made significant contributions to the field of computer programming and technology, from her pioneering work on and contributions to the Harvard Mark I computer, COBOL, and UNIVAC I. Why is Grace important to us? Well, we have a habit of naming our projects after influential women in tech. And we have been working on a little something special we can’t wait to show you!

I watched this holding my two week old daughter Grace. She was named after Grace Hopper. I am a developer lol
My oldest child’s middle name is also Grace, and Admiral Hopper was at least an influence on choosing the name.
+1 from another developer with a daughter named Grace. ^_^
This is a revolution, thanks for bringing this to the world
I like the term home approval factor! In the end any home automation solutions are pointless unless it's a great experience for anyone and project Grace elevates that to another level 🎉
I love these streams. I hope this channel really takes off soon
Thanks all - as an enthusiastic HA newbie with a CSS/JS/responsive (and now data visualisation) background, I’m struggling *not* to spend time dabbling in dashboard design beyond installing mushroom! But I was nodding along about the talk of masonry and exploration of grid/sub-grids, and super impressed with the clear way you managed to describe the intricacies & drawbacks of layout options in an accessible way (even getting grid systems and constructivism in!). Looking forward to trying out the beta!
The UI is so beautiful, and dragon drop is so Graceful! Well done team! 🐉 🎉
Thank you so much for all of this. The need for this is obvious, great to see it coming.
Love the work and effort being put into this. Just wanted to leave a comment saying that I'd love to see Z-Masonary layout implemented. I'm currently using "entities" cards for everything, I think I'm the only person who likes the way the masonary layout fills the screen haha. I only really care about the order of the cards when I'm on mobile where it becomes one column. I love the sections though, I feel they're the first thing that has tempted me to moving off the entities cards. Doing grids and stuff by hand seems too much effort for me personally.
Nice enhancements! Will definitely try the new dash layout. Love the z-grid choice. Keep up the good work.
Great work, well done and many thanks👍
This is awesome… going to be so easy to create great looking dashboards, edit and maintain them… love the new edit experience can’t wait to have a play with it
really good job! one of (if not the most) biggest problems of home assistant fixed 🙂
one note: could you make the buttons swipeable? like hold the button for half a second and swipe out of it to change light intensity (eg. up or down) and/or colour (eg. left and right) of lights?
In the previous release the feature to add an icon for an area was introduced. It would be nice if this icon is showed in the area card. Then it is possible to stack all these area cards with this new dashboard feature so that you can navigate from there to other rooms.
This is amazing. I absolutely love this.
To many people that aren't familiar with HA this will look like fairly standard functionality, the rest of us are like the crowd when Steve Jobs introduced the first iPhone
Just awsome. Thanks guys.
Lots of thanks for sharing this project. I like Home Assistant very much. An easy to use dashboard is what I'm searching for since the first day I use Home Assistant. This will a great improvement in my opinion. 😊
Very cool new feature ! Will it work with mushroom cards ?
I love the way Home Assistant is travelling, I just wish it could be done with a lot less breaking changes. I love updates. They appeal to the geek in me, but for a Home Automation platform to really make headway, it needs to be stable and reliable, as in things that are setup are not needed to be changed because something changes that is not backward compatible. The current UI does need a refresh, but it is good enough. Stability and less breaking changes is what would really improve the acceptance factor among people who are not programmer geeks.
I really would like if you could iterate in Android Auto. Currently it's very basic. It would be so cool if I could create small simple dashboards to monitor my home when I am in the car (like graphs)
awesome!
Your challenge is to make a home assistant control as intuitive as a light switch. A light switch has an implied context (the light it controls in the room where the light exists) and a simple function (on, off, and maybe dimming).
To do this, you will have to break out of the dashboard paradigm and think of the context of control. What is the context of the control surface?
Example: We are seeing more and more room specific control surfaces replacing the light switches. How do we make these just as intuitive as a light switch and not require a professional installer to configure the control surface UI? That likely sounds like a setup workflow for the control surface.
Another context: Some uses of Home Assistant are control surfaces at all. They are informational. Example: the 42 inch TV that displays the weather, traffic/transit, and the family schedule; versus the “LED Orb” that tells me I left a garage door open; versus the shared task list or shopping list which is both informational and a separate app.
If you distill every device down to these principles you will nail it.
I've loved home assistant from day 1 but as someone that doesn't have hrs too play to fix problems or learning new things I've tried to get it working many times then stopped using it each times.
this year ive been trying to learn more and it does seam to be easier and a little more user friendly but I think I would like to see a more noob friendly version. I understand people like customisation but surely the more users home assistant can have, then the bigger it will become. I just think yaml etc can scare off many(it did with me, lol) . Why can't there be a version where it's all done by dashboards/user friendly screen (drag and drop etc) so that it just works including all sensors, lights etc are added already so that when you click add it will know what it is(obviously as new products come out then it would need updates maybe from other users too but then if any users want more functionality then they can hit an advanced button to go into yaml and edit it more. This dashboard looks good though.
Is anybody else expierencing that the option 'Sections' is greyed out? New Dashboard, layout card 2.4.5 installed, restarted Home Assistant afterwards. Still greyed out.
Flush the browser cache, or clear the app cache. I had to do that before it worked right for me.
Omg guys.... Please please look at user accounts/access/security/dashboards.
Please please please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

what do you mean?
Is there a reason that prevents us from having polygon based zones?
No.. there are custom integrations that does it, and node red.
Shouldn't the user be able to choose the size of a card?
What did all these women in code have in common? They knew what a woman was. How insulting and disrespectful it is towards these women to dress up and mock them. Smh
This is great! I'm using HA outside. HA is amazing. 😊 3/23/24
