Hey fellow smart home enthusiasts! I recently discovered this game-changer called Rounded Dashboard for Home Assistant, and I just had to share how it transformed my setup.
As someone who’s been tinkering with HA for about a year (not a total noob but definitely not a pro), I was getting tired of the basic Lovelace UI. Then I stumbled upon Rounded Dashboard - holy cow, what a difference!
Here’s what I did:
- Created custom “zones” for different areas of my house (living room, bedroom, etc.)
- Added these slick circular controls for my Aqara devices
- Set up conditional cards that only show relevant controls based on time/day
The best part? My wife actually understands this interface! No more “how do I turn off the lights” questions at 2AM.
Pro tip: Start with just one room to get the hang of it before going all-in. The learning curve isn’t bad, but it’s easy to get carried away with all the customization options.
Anyone else using Rounded Dashboard? Would love to see your setups or hear your favorite tricks!
(And yes, I’ll try to post some screenshots later if anyone’s interested.)
