For which widget you mean?  
Switch is 'Builtin : smart home set".  
For the rest a lot of selfmade widgets.

I used your Temperature widget, but have no icons in front of temperature

My question was a Openhab question and not a Homey question.

I moved my question to the openhab forum.

Wow! That looks absolutley amazing!  
It even looks wife-friendly…  
Do you think it would be possible for you to make a tutorial? I’m pretty new ti the whole automation game and want to learn.  
If the tutorial is in Swedish…well…not a big problem. 😉  
Great job on the dash! 🙂

Thank you @ArLa!

@Ferry_van_E has compiled a really nice tutorial on how to set-up Homey for connection to Home Assistant:

> [@\[TUTORIAL\] Setting up MQTT on Homey for configuring Home Assistant for dashboard purposes](https://community.homey.app/t/tutorial-setting-up-mqtt-on-homey-for-configuring-home-assistant-for-dashboard-purposes/10880):

> Hi, i would like to share instructions of how to setup MQTT on Homey to make your devices visible in Home Assistant with a Synology NAS. Thanks a lot to @HarriedeGroot for creating the MQTT Hub, @scanno for the MQTT Client (and Broker, which unfortunately will not be included in this tutorial since my setup is on a Synology NAS with Mosquitto as a broker) and @Gustav_Tillback for initially sharing the first steps in creating this setup which will be explained in further detail below DISCLAIMER\*…

Furthermore there are tons of tutorials on how-to configure Home Assistant GUI ( Lovelace), start here:

If anyone missed it (probably not) there’s also the [homeydash.com](http://homeydash.com) / homey.ink project.

You can build that in Lovelace (Home Assistant) here my version on my phone, and on a TV (Raspberry Pi) in my desk

I still use Homey for flows and things like that, and HA for my dashbaords with MQTT

The floorplan is completely interactive, badges from what’s playing on my Sonos, when you click on a room lights go on (color and brightness) information about rooms like temperature, light intensity and… to be honest only your imagination is the limit I think 😉

I think I have to switch from openhab2 to Home assistant, after I see that! 😅🤔

That looks pretty cool!

Hi,

I’m not a developer but with this example it was not too hard to understand 😉  
To build the floorplan I used: [http://www.sweethome3d.com/](http://www.sweethome3d.com/)  
Simple and free, created this in about a day, but that’s because I also build some custom furniture that I couldn’t find 🙂 building the plan itself is done in about an hour, very nice tool

Simple tutorial: [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqazFFzUAPc6vIE\_JM3Ysis39MrANKxx\_](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqazFFzUAPc6vIE_JM3Ysis39MrANKxx_)
