Dash 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.
Building widgets instead of using them? That’s its own docs space: Widget Dev.
Common tasks
- 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, your own address, or the managed tunnel.
- Theme it: 7 presets or custom palette, light and dark.
- Something broke: look up by error message or symptom.
What GlassHome is not
- 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.
