I have been thinkering a bit with the use of AI, and had some fun building a desktop dashboard.
I am a little stuck on how to display the control of lights and other devices, so i would love to see some examples of this, if you have built something yourself on a laptop or desktop. Some screenshots below, and some info of the build.
The dashboard is a private, locally hosted Windows application built with React, TypeScript and Vite, with a small Node.js backend and native CSS. It connects independently to my Homey Pro 2019 and Homey Pro 2023 through Homey’s official homey-api and OAuth2, using Socket.IO for live updates. Codex with the Homey plugin was used during development to inspect devices and capabilities, understand and configure Flows, verify data sources and safely test the setup. The finished dashboard connects directly to the Homeys and does not require Codex to be running. It also combines Weather Display, Yr/MET Norway, webcam and local PC/HWiNFO data in one interface. Credentials are encrypted with Windows DPAPI, and everything runs locally on 127.0.0.1.
