Hi everyone, I’m excited to share my latest project—a custom NAS Dashboard I developed for Home Assistant. After spending some time tinkering and learning, I managed to create a comprehensive dashboard that displays essential stats from my Synology DS423+. I wanted to visualize things like CPU usage, memory consumption, network throughput, and disk temperatures in one place, and I think it turned out pretty cool!
Here’s a quick overview of what the dashboard includes:
- CPU and Memory Usage: Real-time percentages for both CPU and RAM.
- Network Activity: Upload and download speeds in kB/s.
- Temperature Monitoring: Both the NAS chassis and individual disk temperatures.
- Disk Status: Health indicators for each drive, including bad sector alerts.
- Storage Overview: A mini-graph showing used space over time.
I used a combination of custom cards and Mushroom Template Cards to achieve this. The layout is fully customizable, and I included absolute positioning to stack everything neatly. All the icons are 64x64 for a clean look, and I made sure the background colors were consistent for a professional feel.
I’ve attached a screenshot below so you can get a better idea of how it looks. Feel free to use the code I provided and tweak it to fit your setup! If anyone has suggestions or improvements, I’d love to hear them. Happy coding!
