Bug Reports
Something not working right? Your reports genuinely help shape GlassHome into something better.
Where to Report
Head to the GlassHome Discord and post in the #bug-reports channel.
What to Include
The more context you give, the faster I can track it down. Try to include as many of these as you can:
- What happened. Describe what you did and what went wrong. “I tapped the light widget and nothing happened” is better than “light widget broken”.
- What you expected. What should have happened instead.
- Steps to reproduce. Can you make it happen again? Step-by-step instructions help a lot, even if they seem obvious.
- Screenshot or screen recording. A picture is worth a thousand words. A short video of the issue is even better.
- GlassHome version. Found in Settings > About at the bottom of the settings page.
- Device and browser. What are you running GlassHome on? Phone, tablet, desktop? Which browser? This matters for layout and touch issues.
- How you installed GlassHome. HA addon, Docker, or something else? Include the architecture (amd64, aarch64) if you know it.
Getting Logs
Logs often reveal what went wrong behind the scenes. Here’s how to get them.
HA Addon Logs
Go to Settings > Add-ons > GlassHome Dashboard > Log in Home Assistant. Copy the output.
Docker Logs
docker logs glasshome
Browser Console
Open your browser’s developer tools (F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I), go to the Console tab, and copy any red errors. This is especially useful for UI bugs and widget issues.
