So I’ve seen all kinds of dashboards depicting all sorts of informations and functions to control ones home and I was wondering, what things you have depicted on yours which turned out to be really useful esp. for other family members. I would like to keep mine as small and simple as possible. So far I have planned to show the following:

Helpful esp. before leaving the house:

  • turn off all lights
  • activate alarm within n minutes
  • current and upcoming rain and outside temperature conditions
  • List of open windows and doors

Helpful during the day

  • Current and set temperature inside
  • Autonomy of car
  • Remaining time of washing machine
  • State of dishwasher (ready, running, done)
  • State of mailbox (empty, full)

What’s on yours you and others in your household interact often with? Which have you removed?

    Tbh I don’t have that many fancy stuff on my dashboards. Most things are fancy automations 😜 But I have an old Tablet in the kitchen with these things on it:

    • The usual stuff like lights, etc.
    • Some countdowns only visible if a timer is active. My old Google Home speakers have a undocumented api, that I use to get the timers.
    • A grocery list, linked to bring. So I don’t have to get my phone to add something. Handier as expected.
    • A trash calendar
