This is a simple yet highly customizable dashboard for Home Assistant. The main goal of this project was to create simple dashboard with an easy way to edit and add functionality with minimum knowledge of javascript and html. Should you have any ideas or questions please post them on home-assistant forum or create an issue on github.
- Pull/download repository
- Copy
config.example.jstoconfig.jsand edit it for your needs - Open index.html directly in a web browser or move all of the files into www directory in HA's config path. Please note that dashboard was designed for local installations and you should never store dashboard files in www directory of HA if you are exposing it to the outside world since this would reveal content of
config.jsalong with the password. As an alternative please consider serving files via Nginx where BasicAuth can be implemented.
config.js will initialize a global CONFIG object with following fields:
var CONFIG = {
/* customTheme: specify a custom theme for your dashboard
* Valid options: null, 'transparent', 'win95', or a custom theme you have created
* Default: null

* PROMPT - will ask your password every time you open TileBoard in the browser.
* PROMPT_AND_SAVE - same as PROMPT but with saving the password after first connection
* Note: if you used PROMPT_AND_SAVE and changed your password, you will be needed to clear your localStorage

At the moment following entity types have been implemented:
var TYPES = {

}
}Supported weather fields
{

iconMap: {'clear-day': 'clear', ...}, // statusKey: iconName (from images/weather-icons)
//iconMap: function (icon, item, entity) {return icon}, // or use function
summary: '&sensor.dark_sky_summary.state',
apparentTemperature: '&sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature.state',
apparentTemperatureUnit: '&sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature.attributes.unit_of_measurement',
temperature: '&sensor.dark_sky_temperature.state',
temperatureUnit: '&sensor.dark_sky_temperature.attributes.unit_of_measurement',
highTemperature: '&sensor.dark_sky_daytime_high_temperature.state',
highTemperatureUnit: '&sensor.dark_sky_daytime_high_temperature.attributes.unit_of_measurement',
lowTemperature: '&sensor.dark_sky_overnight_low_temperature.state',
lowTemperatureUnit: '&sensor.dark_sky_overnight_low_temperature.attributes.unit_of_measurement',
precip: '&sensor.dark_sky_precip.state',
precipIntensity: '&sensor.dark_sky_precip_intensity.state',
precipIntensityUnit: '&sensor.dark_sky_precip_intensity.attributes.unit_of_measurement',

pollen: '&sensor.pollen_count.state',
pressure: '&sensor.dark_sky_pressure.state',
pressureUnit: '&sensor.dark_sky_pressure.attributes.unit_of_measurement',
}As you may notice that we use @/& prefixes to get a value inside objects (entities). @ is relative to the current entity (@attributes.friendly_name) and & is for global (&sensor.kitchen_temp.state). This may not work everywhere, but you may give it a go.
Events can be fired from Home Assistant to control TileBoard. Useful for automations to do things like opening a camera view if it detects motion, or turning the screen off on a tablet at night or when everyone leaves.
Events in HomeAssistant must be fired with tileboard as the event type, and a command included in the event data.
events: [
/* Example: Start the screensaver on a tablet with Fully Kiosk Browser */
{
/* command: The command sent from Home Assistant */
command: 'screen_off',
/* action: Function to execute when the command is received
* The variable e contains the full event_data from HomeAssistant
*/
action: function(e) {
if (typeof fully !== undefined) {
fully.startScreensaver();
}
},
},
/* Example: End the screensaver and make sure Fully Kiosk Browser is in
* the foreground.
*/
{
command: 'screen_on',
action: function(e) {
if (typeof fully !== undefined) {
fully.stopScreensaver();
fully.bringToForeground();
}
},
},
/* Example: Play a sound file
* Include sound_url in the event_data from Home Assistant
*/
{
command: 'play_sound',
action: function(e) {
playSound(e.sound_url);
}
},
/* Example: Open a specific TileBoard page
* Include a page field in the event_data from Home Assistant
* that matches the id: of a page in the TileBoard CONFIG
*/
{
command: 'open_page',
action: function(e) {
var page = CONFIG.pages.filter(function(obj) {
return obj.id == e.page;
});
this.$scope.openPage(page[0]);
}
}
],TileBoard has built-in support for toast notification popups in the
lower right corner. To set them up, add the following to events in CONFIG:
{
command: 'notify',
action: function(e) {
Noty.addObject(e);
}
}You can then fire a tileboard event in HomeAssistant with the following data:
{
"command": "notify",
"id": "hello",
"icon": "mdi-car",
"type": "info",
"title": "Information",
"message": "Hello world",
"lifetime": 5,
}id: Notification ID. Sending multiple notifications with the same id will overwrite each other.
type: Type of notification (for style purposes). Valid types are error, info, success, warning
lifetime: Length of time (in seconds) for the notification to persist before automatically dismissing. Leave lifetime out of the event_data for persistent messages.
A number of classes are added to each tile depending on the type of tile and state. Custom CSS styles can be applied by creating a custom.css file in the styles directory.
