GlassHome Documentation

A modern dashboard for Home Assistant. Connects directly to your HA instance over WebSocket. No cloud relay, no telemetry, no YAML required.

Start here

Quickstart

Install, connect, and add your first widget in 5 minutes.

Concepts

Hub, dashboard, addon, widget. The mental model in one page.

Installation

Pick a deployment method: HA addon, Docker, or container.

I want to use it

Add widgets, arrange dashboards, pick themes.

I want to build for it

Build and publish custom widgets with the SDK and CLI.

Connect to Home Assistant

OAuth flow, demo mode, URL gotchas.

Edit a dashboard

Add, move, resize, remove. Desktop and touch gestures.

Access from anywhere

VPN works today; managed tunnel in progress.

Theme it

7 presets or custom palette, light and dark.

Pro

One-time purchase. Unlocks community widgets and the theme editor.

Something broke

Look up by error message or symptom.

Not a replacement for Home Assistant. HA still runs your automations, integrations, and devices. GlassHome is the UI layer in front of it.
Not a cloud service. Dash runs on your hardware. Your Hub account exists only to publish widgets and (optionally) provision a tunnel.
Not config-as-code. Everything is configured in the UI. No YAML, no restart-to-apply.
