3D floorplan view for Home Assistant: colored status bubbles + direct device control
We’ve been working on a 3D floorplan dashboard/control view for Home Assistant, and the idea is to make the home status easier to understand at a glance, instead of checking many separate dashboard cards. Colored status bubbles directly on the floorplan, so things like open windows, unlocked doors, lights, and other devices are easier to notice. You can also control devices directly from the 3D v...

Cut out of 8 pieces of 6mm plywood, these panels depict scenes and iconic buildings from Ballyroan and Rathfarnham over the years. This is somewhat incomplete, as it still needs a stronger base, and we are putting an outer skin on it to make it look like a book, but I thought I’d show it in state. ...
