Boards

Boards are your own dashboards — a grid of widgets you arrange to control and watch your home at a glance. A board is well suited to a wall-mounted tablet, but works anywhere.

Building a board

1. Open Boards and tap + Board, give it a name, and pick its aspect ratio — match the screen you'll show it on (16:9 for most monitors, or a tablet's own ratio such as 18.5:9 for a Galaxy A9; you can type a custom one). The board is shaped to that ratio and scales to fill the screen. Optionally start from a room — the board is seeded with that room's card, lights, speakers, and switches, ready to rearrange. You can have as many boards as you like (one per room, or one for the morning, …) — switch between them with the tabs.
2. Tap Edit, then + Widget to add a widget and choose what it controls.
3. In edit mode, drag a widget to move it and drag its bottom-right corner to resize. The grid snaps to keep things tidy. Positions and sizes are proportional, so a board looks the same on a phone, a desktop, and a wall tablet — every widget scales to fill the screen it's shown on.
4. Tap Done to use the board. Tap a widget's ⚙ to reconfigure it, ⧉ to duplicate it (same setup, new spot), or ✕ to remove it. Undo (or Ctrl+Z) reverts the last layout change — a stray drag or removal is one tap away from restored.

Widgets

• Room — a whole room's card, exactly as on the Control page: its lit dot and name, its quick-control buttons, a room power toggle that fans out to every member (lights, switches, speakers) server-side, and one glyph button per member device — speakers playing in sync collapse into a single grouped button, and each button opens that device's full fly-out (hold one to quick-toggle its power). Tapping anywhere else on the header opens the shared colour/brightness editor over the room's lights, with the room's scenes behind its Scenes button.
• Device tile — one light, speaker/TV, or switch. The tile glows in the device's real colour. Drag the bar to set brightness or volume, the round button toggles power, and tapping it opens the full controls.
• Device group — control several devices of one kind together (all the living-room lights, a set of speakers) with one brightness/volume bar and a master power toggle.
• Button — the compact form of a group: one glyph button that toggles a chosen set of devices, without the bar.
• Now playing — what's playing on a speaker or TV, with album art and its volume.
• Scene — apply a saved scene, or Restore Home.
• Custom control — a single button you configure: power, brightness, volume, or a scene, acting on any devices you pick.
• Sensor — a live reading (temperature, humidity, …) from a Home Assistant device.
• Weather — current conditions from a Home Assistant weather entity: a condition icon, the temperature, and humidity. Uses whatever weather integration Home Assistant already has — no extra setup or API key.
• Clock and Label — a clock, or text to title and section a board.

Every widget updates live — change a light elsewhere and the board reflects it immediately.

Each widget also has an optional name if you'd rather show your own label than the device's.

Kiosk mode

Tap Kiosk to fill the whole screen with the board (tap ✕ Exit to leave) — the always-on look for a wall display.

Auto-launch on a wall tablet

A paired kiosk can open straight into a board, full-screen, on load — no tapping. Set it per device from a normal (non-kiosk) browser: Settings → Clients, and on the kiosk's row pick its board (next to its room). That tablet then auto-opens that board in kiosk mode every time it loads. Different tablets can show different boards. Choose "No board" to turn auto-launch off.
