I was reading the HA roadmap and thinking about the points where everyone (else) interacts with my HA environment. I’ve wanted displays/dashboards for a long time but mostly have either battery powered buttons or smart wall switches. These are good in that I can automate them but with two teenage children we have a lot of variability.

Tell me how everyone else uses HA in your house. Do they love it? Do they see only that buttons ‘do things’? Do they read dashboards and crave data?

    While I love data and crave the dashboards, for everyone else:

    • things work normally, and the “smart” functionality is added
    • my automation is timers
    • everything is voice control

    I’ve given up persuading anyone to use any of the smart functionality, although I’m likely to get the Apple home hub when it comes out.

    I’ve looked into various e-ink projects for dashboards but never had the time to follow through
