Smart Home Automation | Home Assistant Dashboards
Home Assistant system that brings HomeKit, Google Home, sensors, smart plugs, and irrigation into one set of custom dashboards, with automations, energy monitoring, and device management.
Who it helps
This system helps a household run devices from Apple HomeKit, Google Home, standalone sensors, smart plugs, and a Rachio irrigation controller from one place instead of six different apps. When an alert comes in, there is a single screen to check what is going on.
What it does
A unified home automation system running Home Assistant as the central hub, tying together every device in the house under one interface. Seven custom dashboards give at-a-glance control: living room media (Sony TV + Sonos), presence tracking with maps, energy monitoring with SMUD billing data and grid carbon metrics, garden irrigation with Rachio SVG zone maps, and per-device dashboards showing location, battery, and network status for every mobile device.
How it works
- 7 custom YAML dashboards covering media, presence, energy, garden, and device monitoring
- Automated alerts for the garage door left open, lights or TV on when nobody is home, and air quality triggering the purifier
- Energy monitoring through Shelly smart plugs with SMUD utility data integration
- Rachio irrigation dashboard with SVG zone visualizations
- Persistent message logging automation with 7-day rolling history
- Multi-person presence tracking via Life360 and device trackers
- Device inventory documentation with maintenance schedules
Where it stands
The system runs around the clock on the local network.
Energy monitoring gives clear visibility into electricity costs. Automated alerts flag a garage door left open, and the garden dashboard simplifies irrigation scheduling across multiple zones. New devices and automations get added as needs come up.
