This is a simple yet highly customizable dashboard for Home Assistant. The main goal of this project was to create a simple dashboard with an easy way to edit and add functionality with minimum knowledge of javascript and html. Should you have any ideas or questions please post them on the home-assistant forum or create an issue on github.
The project structure has changed in the first versioned (v1.0.0) release. Instead of checking out the repo, consider grabbing latest release from https://github.com/resoai/TileBoard/releases. For full setup instructions, see How to use section.
- Make sure that you have Home Assistant 0.77 or greater installed as only new authentication system is supported from now on
- Download the latest release zip file (
Tileboard.zip) from https://github.com/resoai/TileBoard/releases and unpack to a directory of your choice - In chosen directory rename
config.example.jstoconfig.jsand adjust it for your needs - Create a directory called
tileboardinsidewwwdirectory in HA's config path and copy all unpacked files there. - TileBoard will be available at
http://HASS_IP:8123/local/tileboard/index.htmland will prompt you for your login credentials after restarting Home Assistant.
Alternatively you can checkout the repo and build the app manually. Check CONTRIBUTING for more info.
Files served from the www folder (/local/ url), aren’t protected by the Home Assistant authentication. Files stored in this folder, if the URL is known, can be accessed by anybody without authentication. Please make sure that your HA instance is not exposed via inetrnet or at least that long-lived token is not hardcoded in the config.
config.js will initialize a global CONFIG object. If you want to have several config files, you can create another one next to config.js and name it for example bedroom.js. The specific config will be available at http://HASS_IP:8123/local/tileboard/index.html?config=bedroom.
This config object has the following fields:

}As you may notice that we use @/& prefixes to get a value inside objects (entities). @ is relative to the current entity (@attributes.friendly_name) and & is for global (&sensor.kitchen_temp.state). This may not work everywhere, but you may give it a go. Read more in our wiki article.
Events can be fired from Home Assistant to control TileBoard. Useful for automation to do things like opening a camera view if it detects motion, or turning the screen off on a tablet at night or when everyone leaves.
Events in HomeAssistant must be fired with tileboard as the event type, and a command included in the event data.
events: [
/* Example: Start the screensaver on a tablet with Fully Kiosk Browser */
{
/* command: The command sent from Home Assistant */
command: 'screen_off',
/* action: Function to execute when the command is received
* The variable e contains the full event_data from HomeAssistant
*/
action: function(e) {
if (window.fully) {
window.fully.startScreensaver();
}
},
},
/* Example: End the screensaver and make sure Fully Kiosk Browser is in
* the foreground.
*/
{
command: 'screen_on',
action: function(e) {
if (window.fully) {
window.fully.stopScreensaver();
window.fully.bringToForeground();
}
},
},
/* Example: Play a sound file
* Include sound_url in the event_data from Home Assistant
*/
{
command: 'play_sound',
action: function(e) {
window.playSound(e.sound_url);
}
},
/* Example: Open a specific TileBoard page
* Include a page field in the event_data from Home Assistant
* that matches the id: of a page in the TileBoard CONFIG
*/
{
command: 'open_page',
action: function(e) {
window.openPage(CONFIG.pages[e.page]);
}
}
],Example to fire an event in a Home Assistant automation.
This example will make 'TileBoard' return to page 0 when a specific binary_sensor state change from off to on.
Tip: The page number is determinate by the order of the pages in your TileBoard CONFIG file, the first one is 0.
- alias: aquarium_ok
initial_state: true
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.seneye_param_status
from: 'on'
to: 'off'
action:
- event: tileboard
event_data:
page: 0
command: 'open_page'TileBoard has built-in support for toast notification popups in the
lower right corner. To set them up, add the following to events in CONFIG:
{
command: 'notify',
action: function(e) {
window.Noty.addObject(e);
}
}Example to fire a notification in a Home Assistant automation.
This example will fire a persistent red notification on TileBoard when a specific binary_sensor state change from on to off.
- Tip: To remove the persistent notification, resend the same one (or another one) with the same
id:with thelifetime: 1added at the end of theevent_data.*
- alias: PC2_offline
initial_state: true
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.pc2
from: 'on'
to: 'off'
action:
- event: tileboard
event_data:
command: 'notify'
id: 'PC2'
icon: 'mdi-desktop-tower'
type: 'error'
title: 'Status - PC2'
message: 'PC2 is offline, restart the left computer (big one)'id: Notification ID. Sending multiple notifications with the same id will overwrite each other.
type: Type of notification (for style purposes). Valid types are error, info, success, warning
lifetime: Length of time (in seconds) for the notification to persist before automatically dismissing. Leave a lifetime out of the event_data for persistent messages.
Several classes are added to each tile depending on the type of tile and state. Custom CSS styles can be applied by creating a custom.css file in the styles directory.
For the tablet configuration use COMPACT custom theme and reduce padding.
For the mobiles check out wiki article.
