For Home Assistant

Finally, a beautiful
dashboard.

Looks finished the moment you open it, no card-stitching, no theme-hunting. Built for wall tablets, phones, and the family. Runs on your network.

Free, runs on your network, no account needed.

Your home, at a glance

Support

Questions you might have

Because I actually read the Discord

Setup & Compatibility

Is GlassHome standalone or an addon?

Both. It's a standalone container that can also be installed as a Home Assistant addon for convenience.

Do I need HAOS to use GlassHome?

No. HAOS users can install it as an addon, but anyone can run it via docker-compose or the container directly.

Does it replace Home Assistant?

Never. HA is the engine, GlassHome is a prettier dashboard on top. You can use both simultaneously.

Can I still access my default HA dashboard?

Yes. GlassHome runs separately on its own port. Use whichever you prefer, or switch between them.

Does it show up in the Home Assistant sidebar (ingress)?

No. GlassHome runs as its own full-screen web app on port 3123, not through HA ingress. After starting the addon, open it at http://<ha-ip>:3123.

Can I access my dashboard away from home?

Today, use a VPN (WireGuard, Tailscale) so your device joins the home network and reaches GlassHome like it's local. A built-in managed tunnel and reverse-proxy support are in the works.

Privacy & Data

Is my data sent to external servers?

No. GlassHome connects directly to your HA instance using the official home-assistant-js-websocket library. Everything stays local on your network.

Where are my dashboards saved?

In a local SQLite database inside the GlassHome container volume. They persist across restarts and can be backed up by snapshotting the volume.

Pricing & Licensing

Will beta users have to pay for v1?

Early birds lock in 50% off PRO, $19.99 instead of $39.99, as thanks for early support. The free tier stays free either way.

Is GlassHome open source?

The dashboard app is proprietary, but the ecosystem around it is open source: the widget SDK, CLI, UI library, and the official widget collection. I'm transparent about the tech stack and build in the open, shaped by community feedback and feature requests.

Everything else

Can I customize each widget?

Yes, entity filtering, size selection, display options, aggregation modes, and more.

How do I report bugs?

Join the Discord or open a GitHub issue. The community is active and I respond quickly.

Still have questions?

Ask in the server. I read everything and usually answer within the day.
