Home Assistant Dashboard – 3D Home
There is a reason why I saved this view for the last. This is the home page for the kiosk browser I have set up on a wall-mounted tablet display in my home. I designed this view a long time ago when I lived in a 2 Bedroom apartment, but I haven’t felt the need to update this to my new house layout yet since it still gives me quick access to what I’d like to do most frequently. Check out this post, which helped me with creating this 3d view.
