Most dashboards are a flat grid of tiles, and it takes a moment to work out what is actually going on in the house. This project takes a different route: you build a small 3D copy of your home and run it straight from Home Assistant. Lights, doors and blinds show their state at a glance, along with room temperature and occupancy, and ACs, fans and other devices can be controlled from the same view.
Putting a house together looks straightforward. You load an image of your plan, scale it, and draw the rooms on top of it, and add furniture and devices. Basements are supported, along with spiral, L-shaped and U-shaped staircases, and there is customisation for balconies, terraces and fences plus a choice of interior wall colours and floor finishes. Own models can also be brought in as .glb files via the My models section. Live camera feeds can be placed on TVs and screens inside the model, scenes and scripts can be triggered from within it, and there are optional extras like a robot vacuum and even a laser gun.
Everything is free, the code sits publicly on GitHub, and installation goes through HACS as a custom repository integration followed by a HA restart. After that the browser talks directly to the HA instance, with no separate server or account involved. The maker built it with help from AI tools, which feels fitting for something that is openly fun and overkill.
One limit to keep in mind: .glb import currently covers furniture only, not an entire house, and the maker is still working through user feedback and fixes. Furnishing a model room by room seems a sensible way to start, though, and the pace of fixes suggests this is a project that keeps moving.
