Hey everyone! I’ve been diving into customizing my Hubitat dashboard lately, and I thought I’d share some tips and tricks I’ve picked up along the way. If you’re new to dashboards or looking to optimize your setup, this might be helpful!
First off, I stumbled upon the Hubitat Dashboard documentation, and it’s a goldmine of information. I learned that when creating a dashboard, it’s crucial to be selective about the devices you include. I initially tried to cram all my devices into one dashboard, but it quickly became overwhelming. Trust me, less is more! Choose a modest selection of buttons or devices that you interact with most frequently. This keeps your dashboard clean and functional.
Another thing I discovered is the importance of using the local link for your dashboard when you’re on your home network. I was experiencing some latency issues before, but switching to the local link made everything smoother. It’s a small tweak, but it makes a big difference in performance.
If you’re looking for inspiration, there’s an active dashboard community where users share their creations. Some of the dashboards I’ve seen are truly impressive, but don’t feel pressured to match them. Start simple and build up as you get more comfortable. Remember, it’s all about what works best for your home and lifestyle!
I’d love to hear how others are customizing their dashboards. What features or devices do you find most useful? Let’s keep the ideas flowing!
Happy dashboarding!
