I want to have some wall-mounted dashboards in my house, but I couldn’t find anything that would fit my needs, so I started creating this custom dashboard solution a couple of months ago. It’s nowhere near finished yet, but I just wanted to show off what I have for now. It is called Tiledash.app.
It already has a lot of features:
- All kinds of handy widgets
- Energy dashboards
- Future electricity prices and suggestions on when to start charging your car / drying your clothes / heavy power use
- Thermostats, with nice animations
- Custom widgets, so you can create your own, you can fully CSS animate them, but it supports liquid script as well.
- Sharing of widgets with other users, for example if you create an amazingly animated weather icon, you can share that with other people, by just publishing it.
- Full MCP server so you can let your favorite AI model create widgets for you.
- Fully themeable
- A map, because somehow we can’t get that in Homey
. You can put anything that has coordinates on it. - Media players
- Fully streaming cameras
- Weather
Check out the full list of widgets here.
Script editor
It also supports ‘wall panels’ which is a feature that allows you to select a couple of dashboards, and allow a paired device show those, for example I use Raspberry Pi Zero 2’s with a display to show some basic information around the house. Cheap hardware and easy to use.
These wallpanels also support sleep mode, so they fall back to a certain dashboard when asleep, in my case just a clock with power and solar usage on it.
Quick dash view, but there is so much more

Pairing a screen
A lot of this is free to use, you can connect 1 Homey, store a limited amount of recorded datapoints (for history, graphs, etc). Create 5 dashboards (a popup is a dashboard too) and can connect a single external screen. I hope this sounds fair.
If you want to develop your own widgets, you would need to subscribe, but at first I would discourage anyone from doing it, until the product is fully developed.
