TileBoard

This is a simple yet highly customizable dashboard for Home Assistant. The main goal of this project was to create 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 home-assistant forum or create an issue on github.

How to use

  • Make sure that you have Home Assistant 0.77 or greater installed as only new authentication system is supported from now on
  • Pull/download repository
  • Copy config.example.js to config.js and edit it for your needs
  • Create a directory called tileboard inside www directory in HA's config path and move all of the files there.
  • TileBoard will be available at http://HASS_IP:8123/local/tileboard/index.html and will prompt your for your login credentials after restarting Home Assistant

Configure

config.js will initialize a global CONFIG object with following fields:

Every anonymous function will call with context {states: {}, $scope: {}}

At the moment following entity types have been implemented:

var TYPES = {
   DEVICE_TRACKER: 'device_tracker',
   SCRIPT: 'script',
   AUTOMATION: 'automation',
   SENSOR: 'sensor',
   SENSOR_ICON: 'sensor_icon',
   SWITCH: 'switch',
   LOCK: 'lock',
   COVER: 'cover',
   FAN: 'fan',
   GENERIC_ICON: 'generic_icon',
   INPUT_BOOLEAN: 'input_boolean',
   LIGHT: 'light',
   TEXT_LIST: 'text_list',
   INPUT_NUMBER: 'input_number',
   INPUT_SELECT: 'input_select',
   CAMERA: 'camera',
   CAMERA_THUMBNAIL: 'camera_thumbnail',
   SCENE: 'scene',
   SLIDER: 'slider',
   IFRAME: 'iframe',
   DOOR_ENTRY: 'door_entry',
   WEATHER: 'weather',
   CLIMATE: 'climate',
   MEDIA_PLAYER: 'media_player',
   CUSTOM: 'custom',
   ALARM: 'alarm',
   WEATHER_LIST: 'weather_list',
};

Example of slider config used for LIGHT:

{
   title: "Color temp",
   field: "color_temp",
   max: 588,
   min: 153,
   step: 15,
   request: {
      type: "call_service",
      domain: "light",
      service: "turn_on",
      field: "color_temp"
   }
}

Supported weather fields

{
   summary: '&sensor.dark_sky_summary.state',
   temperature: '&sensor.dark_sky_temperature.state',
   temperatureUnit: '&sensor.dark_sky_temperature.attributes.unit_of_measurement',
   highTemperature: '&sensor.dark_sky_daytime_high_temperature.state',
   highTemperatureUnit: '&sensor.dark_sky_daytime_high_temperature.attributes.unit_of_measurement',
   //highTemperatureLabel: 'High',
   lowTemperature: '&sensor.dark_sky_overnight_low_temperature.state',
   lowTemperatureUnit: '&sensor.dark_sky_overnight_low_temperature.attributes.unit_of_measurement',
   //lowTemperatureLabel: 'Low',
   windSpeed: '&sensor.dark_sky_wind_speed.state',
   windSpeedUnit: '&sensor.dark_sky_wind_speed.attributes.unit_of_measurement',
   humidity: '&sensor.dark_sky_humidity.state',
   humidityUnit: '&sensor.dark_sky_humidity.attributes.unit_of_measurement',
    
   list: [ // array of strings
      // custom line
      'Feels like '
         + '&sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature.state'
         + '&sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature.attributes.unit_of_measurement',

      // another custom line
      'Pressure '
         + '&sensor.dark_sky_pressure.state'
         + '&sensor.dark_sky_pressure.attributes.unit_of_measurement',
   ]
}

@/& Prefixes

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

Events can be fired from Home Assistant to control TileBoard. Useful for automations 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 (typeof fully !== undefined) {
            fully.startScreensaver();
        }
      },
    },

    /* Example: End the screensaver and make sure Fully Kiosk Browser is in
     * the foreground.
     */
    {
      command: 'screen_on',
      action: function(e) {
        if (typeof fully !== undefined) {
          fully.stopScreensaver();
          fully.bringToForeground();
        }
      },
    },

    /* Example: Play a sound file
     * Include sound_url in the event_data from Home Assistant
     */
    {
      command: 'play_sound',
      action: function(e) {
        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]);
      }
    }
  ],

Notifications

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) {
      Noty.addObject(e);
   }
}

You can then fire a tileboard event in HomeAssistant with the following data:

{
    "command": "notify",
    "id": "hello",
    "icon": "mdi-car",
    "type": "info",
    "title": "Information",
    "message": "Hello world",
    "lifetime": 5,
}

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 lifetime out of the event_data for persistent messages.

Custom CSS Styles

A number of 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.

Tablet and mobile configuration

For the tablet configuration use COMPACT custom theme and reduce padding. For the mobiles check out wiki article.
