Home Assistant Dashboard
v3
Complete refactor of the main home dashboard. Goal: a unified system managing lights, climate, security and energy — all visible at a glance, without opening ten different apps.
Overview
Complete refactor of the home dashboard. v2 had grown chaotically over time: scattered automations, duplicate integrations, no structure. v3 starts from scratch with an MQTT-first architecture that manages all devices through a single centralised broker.
The result is a system where lights, climate, security and energy monitoring are visible at a glance, controllable from any device in the house.
Architecture
The heart of the system is EMQX as the MQTT broker on a Lattepanda Sigma. Zigbee2MQTT manages all the Zigbee devices — over 40 between sensors, actuators and bulbs — and exposes them via MQTT to Home Assistant.
This approach separates the communication layer from the automation layer: if HA updates or breaks, the devices keep talking to each other.
