I used codex, Aaked codex to make dashboard for homey which i wanted to have deployed on my synology server (in a container) showed codex an example and started iterration.
Now i have a project in codex and can ask codex to change the page or ad for example a extra with sonos. Etc
Surely it took you a while?
Its relative easy. Just give codex the end goal and it will build your dashboard. The itteration is still ongoing but easy to do. I go to the project in codex open voice live (all In chat gpt plus) and tell the project i want to change this or that and then i can leave it. Build time i think 5 hours. My time max 1 hour
Is camera streaming working web widgets like buienradar weather or other things ? So codex will do that automatically for you? I have now an iPad dashboards normal Homey dashboards
I build my desktop with Claude Code and using the Homey MCP server app.
Created the whole dashboard in one morning, and mainly I was waiting till Claude finished his jobs.
It created it on my laptop, sync it to Github automatically after every change, and publish the pages on my NAS locally.
Can you explain how to work ?
Wanna try it
Did you use GitHub or ?
And @Martijn747 can you also control lights and other devices ?>
Thank you
I use homey in between. So every light setting is by flow which works really well. I can connect every item from Homey directly. Didn’t try philips hue directly or others.
Didn’t try it but i am sure it will work. Use synology in between.
Alright
How long was your Prompt and order?
What kind of intelligence did you use and low average or high?
And did you make it with the tokens for codex because I also have plus?
I repurposed a Seeed Studio SenseCAP Indicator D1L as a 4-inch, read-only Homey status console instead of buying another wall tablet. It runs a custom ESP32-S3/LVGL interface and receives local Homey data through a small Mac Mini adapter.
The segmented ring only shows All Secure when the alarm is Armed Stay or Armed Away, all monitored doors/windows are closed, and the garage is closed. The other rows show indoor temperature and water flow. It polls every 10 seconds but redraws only when something visible changes, and Live changes to Cached if the local feed is lost.
Codex helped with the firmware and adapter. I am considering a compact climate/weather page next—what would you put on a second 480 x 480 page?
All secure
Alarm disarmed
Water flow detected
Update: it is now interactive
I originally described this little console as read-only, but the touchscreen is now doing two-way local control as well.
The new Scenes page starts existing Homey Standard Flows:
- Movie Time starts my Movie Night Flow.
- Everyday ends Movie Night and restores the normal TV-room light at 100%.
- Bedtime starts my Good Night Flow.
The unused tile is intentionally left as Coming Soon until I find another scene worth putting there. The touch response is very quick in real-world use—tap a scene, get status feedback, and Homey starts the Flow.
For safety, Bedtime requires a press-and-hold because Good Night also arms the alarm in Stay mode. The Homey API token stays on the Mac Mini; the display only sends authenticated, allowlisted scene commands, so it cannot browse or start arbitrary Flows.
Below is an accurate 480 × 480 UI preview of the deployed Scenes page (not a photograph of the hardware).
@Arnold_vd_Linden Is it real time, so something changed in homey app, it also changed in the dashboard?
Yes it is realtime. If something changes on the Homey side, i.e. device id, you have to change that in the dashboard settings also. Therefore there is a settings page to select the corresponding devices.
