Eta most HA dashboard examples I've seen are horrible. People are trying to put 7,000 things on them. I want this to be relaxing and not look like a 747 cockpit.
Reddit is obsessed with that shite
Mine is just simple entities with toggles

HA has a home connect (bosch) integration

That's the one. Just because I CAN put that on the dash doesn't mean I will. I wonder if they support the delonghi coffee machine I have?

With HA, when in doubt, the answer is yes

I'm afraid to endorse HA given my track record with tech companiesPosted on 3/5/26 at 10:48 am to CAD703X
Update:
spun up a virtualbox, installed HA on it and working on some of the 'cards' now.
hardware will be a mini-pc and probably a 43" tv but i am probably going to waive off on it being a touchscreen over some type of wireless mouse/remote/keyboard device that i can keep under the bar. just too much money for a touchscreen that size when this is a MLH that may or may not last for the longterm.
HA has sucked in alot of my crap without me doing anything; its found:
- hue hub
- sonosnet
- x-sense hub
- reolink system
- rachio
looks like chatgpt is going to try & help me harden the 'local control' that i lost during the last WAN outages; just because something says its working locally doesn't mean its going to work when your internet goes down unless you tweak a few settings first.
i'll have to add:
- wifi dehumidifier
- roborock vacuum
- honeywell thermostat
- meross garage door opener
- wifi smart plugs (chinese apps and some native amazon-based)
- eufy door locks
- bosch dishwasher
- delonghi coffee machine
- yet-to-be-purchased tempest weather hardware
- a couple of tvs
its honestly stupid how many smart devices i have ONCE AGAIN after purging all my hubitat and three zillion zwave devices a couple of houses ago.
i guess its time i consolidated everything and since Wink, Smartthings, Vera and Hubitat are no longer viable options, i'll finally give HA a shot at doing it.
my wife will be out of town for a few days mid-month so good opportunity since i'm taking those days off work to dig in.
now i'm just left with a display..should i just go with a cheap $150 43" LG/Samsung/TCL/random-chinese brand?
would love to go with a 43" OLED but those are like $800 and there is no guarantee this is going to have sticking power so don't really want to spend that much on another TV.

If these are tuya based, you can host them locally through HA with Tuya Local integration
Also shame you purged your zwave devices. Zigbee/Zwave is incredible with HA

i know. i left the new owner my hubitat as well. i had 2 garage doors using 2 zwave+ controllers and my spreadsheet was close to 500 devices that i gave him as well as turned over my hubitat account. a shitton of zwave, zigbee, wifi, but almost all was 'isntalled' like door sensors, lightswitches, etc. so didn't really want to rip it all out and it seemed like a nice gift for him. also had a couple of extra hue hubs thanks to that hue clearance insanity at home depot back then
i justified leaving it behind because most devices were zwave so that crippled my zwave+ devices and thought i'd start over. he was moving in while we were moving out so i sat at the island with him and helped convert all my accounts to him
great real estate transaction. i also had major burnout at the time and didn't expect to get this far back in but here i am..5 years later...
eta off to research tuya...i know i've seen that before on some of the apps i have on my phone.

What’s happened with hubitat? I thought they had a local API that was perfect for home assistant I was thinking about buying one just as a z-wave+zigbee bridge.
Why get rid of a zillion z-wave devices? That’s still the absolute pinnacle of smart home.

to answer your question; most zigbee & zwave were installed in lightswitches, door & window sensors, motion detectors, etc. and it didn't really make sense to rip all that out when i was planning to start over w/ zwave+.

Gotcha. Ya with tuya just make sure you grab your keys within the 7-30 day window you have access to them after starting your dev account or else you’re going to need another burner email and maybe a different phone.

Yup the tuya integration is cloud, but there is a “local tuya” in the community store that lets you pull your device keys from the dev portal and control via local api.
