- After a brief beta period, Homey Dashboards are now available for anyone who wants to use them.
- Homey Dashboards essentially replicate Home Assistant Dashboards, although they are nicer looking and a lot easier to use.
- Dashboards are free for anyone with a Homey Pro (2023) but will cost a small one-time fee if you have a 2019 model or earlier.
In the Homey ecosystem, a customizable dashboard similar to Home Assistant Dashboards has almost always topped the list of most-wanted features. In late September, Homey opened up a public beta program to try out its attempt at replicating Dashboards. Today, the company is officially rolling out the general availability of the creatively named Homey Dashboards.
Joking aside, Homey’s take on HA’s dashboard system is pretty amazing. It borrows the core concept of HA’s implementation — customizable widgets arranged in a grid — but makes it look much cleaner. It’s also a lot easier to set up, with drag-and-drop actions being all you really need to get going.
