A dashboard made by Homey (Athom) might be (not far, far away, but:) on it’s way!

Sharptools can also provide dashboards now. It is free to use for a single dashboard, paid when you want more.

Homey Pro Integration

[Fredrik_Tornell]

I will not order a new homey pro until there is a good dashboard. I will keep running my home assistant until then. Sparklines, resizable charts (line, column, area), doghnuts, gauges… plain cards with information…

Insights is good but that is just for a particular set of devices. A dashboard should provide all kinds of data from multiple sources at a glance. Resizable to ones needs… that would be awesome!

what you guys have accomplished so far, this should be a peace of cake…

@skogsaas is also working on a dashboard:

[APP][Pro] Dashboards

This is the first post I’ve made to the Homey Community, and I’m glad to use it to present this project. Getting started You can install the Homey companion app from the App Store here: Dashboards App for Homey | Homey HP23 users can access the locally installed dashboard by navigating to the app configuration page. HP16/HP19 users must use the online version hosted at GitHub: homeyboard.github.io, as only the HP23 has the API-key feature. Security This app has no backend! Only the fr…

Since there are so many new dashboard solutions, it seems this is a much requested feature!

Hi,

I am new at Homey (I am using it since yesterday) but I used Domoticz for 9 years nad Homehabit from 2 (I think it is best home automation application on android).

I read Your post about MQTT but I try to do that on Homey but with no success
What IP I need to write on Homehabit app? Local Ip of my Homey?

What exactly settings I need to check in Mqtt croker, client and hub on homey?

I started broker, client and hub but Homehabit couldn’t connect:(

I will be very gratefull if You answer my questions.

I really want to use Homehabit app to rule my homey:)

Best regards

[RobVos]

Hello,

For the broker you need the fill in the port number. Normally port 1883.
For the client you need to fill in your homey`s IP adress and port number 1883.
And for the hub you can check if it is running under settings and under devices you can check if there are devices.

When I reboot the homey, I need to restart MQTT hub before it works. ( I made a flow for it)

In Homehabit you need to fill in the IP of your Homey and port 1883.
Easiest is to check with a program like http://mqtt-explorer.com for the MQTT commands.
These commands you can use in Homehabit.
Homehabit will not discover the mqtt commands.

Good luck.

[Lukasz_Kostek]

Thank You very much form answer but nothing works
I set everything and I can’t connect with Homehabit and mqtt-explorer.

I really don’t know what am I doing wrong:(

I need to open port 1883 on my router?

[RobVos]

Are you sure you have the correct ip-adress?
Normaly rhere is no need to open port 1883 on your router.
In the app setting from the broker, client and hub is a tab to see the logs.
Is there any info in the logs?

[Lukasz_Kostek]

Hello,

In Broker log: MQTT error occurred: Error:Connection refused: Not authorised (I filled only port 1883 on first line)
In Client log: the same ( I filled port 1883 nad my homey local IP 192.168.0.106 (nothing else)
In Hub I see all my devices

An insight of how MQTT works (you probably did not use an user/passw and did not use an MQTT Broker):

[TUTORIAL][PRO] How to integrate Home Assistant with Homey

Dutch version → click me It is not very simple to connect Home Assistant (or HA) with Homey when you are new to it, hence this comprehensive guide. You can make it work! (At least I hope so ) When I forgot something, or something is wrong: feel free to point it out. By default, all Homey devices are available @ HA after a successful connection using MQTT; BUT you need to install the desired HA devices on Homey, just like other devices need to be installed. Also I have added the o…

[Lukasz_Kostek]

Hi,

it started to work. In broker I added usr and password but I didn’t click plus button

Thanks for help

I will try to add some devices to Homehabit

Is there a simple way to add all my devices from homey to home habit? In Homehabit I connected MQTT but there is nothing to add in devices. I try to add them but this is a lot of work

[RobVos]

Good to hear it works.
Maybe a login is necessary.
I am afraid there is no easy way too add the devices. It is a lot of work.

[Lukasz_Kostek]

Ok,

Thank You very much for help.

I added two sensors with success but I don’t know if I have strength to do that for all my stuff:)

Best regards

Any news or hints about a dashboard or a revamp of the GUI? (It feels a bit outdated)

Love to see some cards that can be resized, sparklines/charts and other metrics that can be shown directly on the dashboard as well as the action buttons to kick off some flows.

I have a tablet in my kitchen that one would like to see various details at a glance!

[diapolon]

There are at least 4 alternative dashboard that are right for you!

[Robbert_Dirksen]

Can you name the 4 dashboards?

[diapolon]

1. SmartDash ([Pro][Dashboard][Android][iOS] SmartDash - a dashboard for Homey)
2. HDashboards ([PRO][Dashboard] HDashboards a dashboard system fully focussed on Homey)
3. Dashboards ([APP][Pro] Dashboards)
4. TileDash (TileDash - an Homey dashboard)

[DarrenJ]

I am aware there are alternative solutions given a gap in an OEM (vendor) dashboard/control panel solution. So I reached out to Homey support to convey my dismay that such functionality is not a core feature set.

Homey support informed me Homey are developing dashboard/control panel functionality and it is on their roadmap. When? Didn’t say so it might be 3 months or another 3 years, however they are definitely doing it. Good news for Homey owners (hopefully) and hope it is a polished solution (easy to use while providing a wealth of variety and configuration)
