I've been using conditional dashboards for some time now, for managing all settings for everything in my house from pihole, home networking and ESP-home utilities and resources. It's amazing for decluttering these menus. But what you have done has taken this to the next level and applied to the whole house. I need to start working on this now 👏

I watch the video you made of Dan's Dashboard , it was very intuitive. I made changes to my overview dashboard and using the bubble card to open more option's , so if needed I would push the living room light icon to turn on/off the main living room light at the samectime the bubble card pops up displaying all the lights and scenes created for that room so it can be changed without scrolling or going into another dashboard. The conditional card is used for diary events and changes my custom button - media card on the main dashboard depending on what I am watching giving extra information on the source I am watching or listening to. It really does add value.

This is pretty brilliant! I've used conditional cards on my main dashboard to draw attention to sets of conditions which don't normally make sense - home vacant, alarm armed, but HVAC in normal comfort mode - and display a markdown card with colored text to draw attention. But I love this idea, even without room presence sensors - lots of the PIRs have an occupancy value they present as well and I can just use that to create a dynamically adapting dashboard based on where people are in our home at any given time. Of course, now I'm going to have to play with the ESP sensors too :)

Nice idea, directly did the same with one difference. I only have one dashboard but different conditional cards for my wife and me. In the conditional card I check for the active user and then show the related cards. So I save in dashboards and do not need to update two if I add something. Only the cards. And for the cards I can show thing that are more important for the related person.

Love it, i knew about the conditional card though.. However bluetooth room tracking, i was thinking before too.. BUT i really downside is that you always have to keep your phone with you. I dont know about others but when i'm home, i sometimes leave my phone in the living room, while going up. However i was thinking even a bit futher... maybe its better to have a smartwatch bluetooth pair instead of phone. If u leave the phone and go upstairs, your watch is still pairing (i know what if u charge your watch.. but that happens less than dropping my phone to a place).

That is pretty darn cool Reed! However, I must say you know how people all over the world are walking around looking at their cell phones all the time and not necessarily taking advantage of their surroundings (e.g. park, beach, spouse ha, ha, etc.) well personally I think home automations should be just that...automated. In other words (and I think you know what I am about to say), I think automations should be taking place behind the scenes w/o user input from a cell phone dashboard. Guess I'm more impressed with Jarvis, but hey AI is here and hopefully it will be so much more helpful for us automation nerds/geeks in the future. P.S. Always enjoy seeing a new vid coming out from you. Thanks again, Rob

Hey Reed, I've got a similar setup but I use the Chips card, to me it saves space and the chips can also be conditional. I have two chips cards at the top of my dashboard, one that allows me to toggle individual rooms (they come on automatically via motion and BT). The other chips card has the contextual notifications like you have the vertical stack for, those things that I probably want to do one action with, or just be notified of (ie garage door open would close on click and refrigerator door open would just be for visibility). Love it!

Very cool, Reed. Been thinking about the same since your video with Dan. I recently spruced up my mobile and tablet dashboard, but opted for a simple, static layout that allows me to see everything important and frequently used in one view with no scrolling required. What’s it been like maintaining/updating multiple dashboards (yours + Aly’s) as your smart home evolves?

Since I live in a small apartment and what separates my living room from the bedroom is one wall and my living room from the kitchen is one wall, having Bluetooth presence detection is not gonna work.

Awwww you beat me to it. I hadn't seen anyone do this before. I've been waiting to get room presence implemented into my smart home before doing this exact thing. i didn't think about the hiding of stuff that I just glance over and don't care about though. Like having my garage door not there if it's closed, or making an "away" dashboard. For tablets in rooms, do you just have them always on that room or do you allow them to select their own room too so you can change settings to something that's not in that room?

Tying room presence detection to conditional dashboard cards is a great idea! Is there anyway to avoid duplicating all of those cards across the multiple dashboards, though? I’d imagine if you ever have to make a change it’d be a pain to make that change in all those different places.

I have used concepts similar to these on our dashboards, and yes it makes it much more usable than the overloaded and cluttered dashboards I usually see. Some things I have used also in case they are helpful: - The auto entities card available via HACS allows you to automatically show/hide entities based on multiple filters. This is an alternative to the "one by one" nature of your conditional card. - I have a view per room and use the tab redirect card available via HACS to automatically switch tabs based on my presence. I have updated that card so that it switches on dashboard load or when the conditions change which allows me to then "override" to a different tab, like your dropdown. But it allows conditions per user, which eliminates duplicating the dashboards. - Some of our entity states allow me to more immediately switch user's state rather than solely using the presence detection, e.g. our bed sensors. - If you did want to maintain the two dashboards for you and your wife, check out the decluttering card in HACS. You can define the "template" dashboard in one spot and then implement it twice, which will make your upkeep easier.

This is cool if you have big single level house with big rooms. Having a multi storey house with some small rooms next to each other kind of defeats the purpose of having ble in each one. I am pretty certain ble would be connected to the previous room or adjacent room when walking into a pantry or laundry room let's say. Good idea of having drop down list of rooms for manual selection.

Great idea! However, the question in the beginning "I forgot to turn off the back patio lights" makes me think that there can be another view possible - hierarchical grouping. This is essential for houses with multiple floors with bathrooms and bedrooms on each floor and multiple outdoor ideas. Say I want to check that the 2nd floor hallway smoke detector is working - I should be able to either: - Navigate to the indoor->second floor->hallway->smoke detector. At the same time, it would be great to also have a more "functional" view available, where I could just: - Navigate to Devices->Smoke detectors->Faults and see if there are any faults visible The above does not replace the dashboards - the dashboard are still the best solution for a room tablet or to represent favourite function and states (dynamic states you mention are perfect to highlight what may need attention etc.). I think it is essential for those tasks where you have a lot of entities and need to navigate to a specific one.

Hey Reed, I think this is a great idea and I wanted to take it a step further, so I used the auto entities card to automatically grab every light entity for the room I am in. Works pretty well, just needs your room names from ESPresence to match the area names in home assistant (I have to replace underscores with spaces and capitalize the words) Card code: type: custom:auto-entities card: type: entities filter: template: > {% set location = states('sensor.sam_s_apple_watch').replace('_', ' ') | capitalize %} {{ states.light | selectattr('entity_id', 'in', area_entities(location)) | map(attribute='entity_id') | list }} exclude: []

How much control over the Bluetooth Proxy do you have? If in just binary present/absent I can see problems with being in neighbouring rooms or it’s analogue and you get an signal strength to adjust I can see how it works. Not that I have enough sockets to power those chips: maybe when the newer ESP chips with Zigbee rather than Wifi are supported they could be battery powered… for example I would not have power in my closet, if I had a closet. Not sure I’ve ever had a closet.

There is a lot of control with the Bluetooth ESPresence. You can set the distance for each Bluetooth controller for detecting beacons (phones). So I put all the controllers strategically in the corner of the room away from the other controllers. Then I sat in each room and if one room was reaching too far I would turn it down. Doing all that makes it super accurate. I spent probably 20 minutes fine tuning the distance about a year ago and I haven’t touched it since.

This is what having a smart home should be and what I have been hoping to have Apple Home “figure it out”. Maybe if Apple starts using AI in iOS 18 in 1-2 years it’ll come to the Home App. I feel like if I get into the car and am connected to Bluetooth or CarPlay (before the car dashboard displays the app) it would be nice to have the garage button jump to the top.

How did you create this Room select drop down? When I try to do this I need to select an entity for the values in the drop down, but I can‘t find a entity with all the rooms

This sounds good and very impress, I bet you spent hours creating a new dashboard. However sent you have your garage door only show when is open, my question is how do you see the garage when is not open? You have to wait into someone open the garage to show on your dashboard. The way I fix my dashboard to have so many icons is by adding tablets on every room that will useful for that room instead of looking for a specific room. For example my office show only what I need; motion sensors, garage door, lights, media player, cameras and door locks, also I have a automation when either doorbell see a person it will pop up on the dashboard. In the bar tablet; it control all the medias, LED lights, fire place, same automation for person arrive will popup on the tablet. The kitchen tablet, will display what we need, lights, vacuum, how much hot water we have left, alarm, forecast, outdoor motions, fans, thermostat, shades and other. The kitchen dashboard is different than other dashboard I created a dashboard that icon will flash when a light, door lock, fan are on or when motion is detected or any shade open. In the living room I have a tablet show shades, lights, vacuums, TV’s (regular tv and Apple TV) Garage door, Locks, Room temperature, doorbell cameras and motions detection. Also I have push button to automate most of my needs so does icons I don’t need. On the bedroom I already have display (google and Alexa) didn’t need a tablet sent I only have a fan and light so either I’m using voice assistant or a push button, one click will turn off the light and turn on the fan, double click will turn off the fan and turn the light back on and long press will open the shade to 20%. Did the same to the other rooms so when I get guess they can used the push button. My dashboard only has a sprinkler tab icon because I have 8 zone didn’t want to put 8 icon on any of the tablets. Most of this icon can be hiding by using animation. Aqara FP2 is one of the best automation I created, also ring sensor is another way I don’t need icons on my dashboard. My porch icon is not on any of my dashboard because I used automation for sunset and sunrise to turn on the light on and off. I still enjoy your videos and ideas.

Great video showcassing the power of the conditional card! Maybe I missed it but additionally you can also set the condition based on who is currently logged in. For me setting up Bluetooth presence was a pain with Multiple floors so I can't do this. But my biggest problem is that not everyone in my house has their phone or a device with them wherever they go. Which made me setup principles for my smart home. For example to not be dependent on someone having their phone with them or knowing exactly where they are.

Are we heading to everyone being tagged with a chip? What other way can specific personal presence be detected (other than each persons bluetooth/phone presence)? Curious....

Thanks! Oh yeah I saw that as an option to have the condition based on who is logged in. That could make it so I only need one dashboard. I'll have to try that out.

@@SmartHomeSolver Cool. Even a "button" to turn your new "smart"smart home dashboard "on" and "off"? to toggle between - making it a full dashboard (then this new one you have designed). Would that work? Ally's dashboard button. (Sorry if I miss pronounced or misspelt her name) ..that sort of thing...

How do you achieve the "Resume schedule" button with Ecobee (after someone has manually changed the temp? I can't seem to figure this one out!

I access my ecobee via the HomeKit integration so it might be a little different, but I was able to accomplish it via "Call Service -> Button: Press -> Living Room Thermostat Clear Hold".

I have two suggestions. 1: Your dropdown menu should automatically change the room that is selected versus having an auto mode, this way you don't forget to set it back to auto. 2: you should have a more button which would show the controls for the rooms surrounding the current room, this would be a good workaround to Alie's complaint.

That's a good idea about the surrounding rooms! With the drop down automatically switching could make it more complicated. Since it could be difficult for the system to know if the manually changed dropdown is still valid or if it should change when the bluetooth changes.

To fix the issue of not knowing which room you’re about to enter, maybe you could break the no scroll rule and have controls for adjacent rooms below?

I’m about to start the floor plans and planning to build my first home, and I want it to be smart. Nothing fancy, but yes daily useful (like cameras, motion sensors, door/windows sensors, temperature sensors, leak sensors, home security system, light switches, garage door, etc) The question is; if you could do all from scratch, what brands/systems would you look into? (I do have various Google Assistants) I’m looking into go fully Wyze products, combined with Sonoff’s light switches. Nowadays I have (but wouldn’t mind starting from scratch); google Nest cameras (like 8 of them), google nest hub, google nest wifi router and extenders/speakers, wyze doorlock, a few OG wyze cameras, chromecasts in all tv’s…
