Yes true we should promote our default way of the dashboard. Do you want to give it a try?
We decided not to use our default one for now
But other type of dashboards would be nice
We previously asked community members to submit theirs so its real and useful
Maybe we can include @round ocean or @vagrant iris dashboards. They are beautiful
(cc @ionic topaz)
Demo revamp
i'd love to include mine
I asked a long time ago, someone pointed me to JS code and told me "You can do it"
So I gave up
I will look to add more helper to mock entities. For now it may be hard to do. We should simplify that process
Yes please - let’s add custom dashboards that are nicer and look more real
JLo back then you havn't had claude code 😉
Let me ping @manic siren too because when we had the Default dashboards conversation he mentioned other plans for demo. But really if we move forward with improving demo site in general, I'd love to have default dashboards there - they should be
If you asked me, the list of prios I would recommend is
- Having 2-3 nicer demo dashboards - JLo, Pitaya and maybe we can ask someone else. They should be dashboards that are useful and promote good usecases (meaning good alignment, areas, good naming conventions, etc). Just because these are for inspiring, we should use them to inspire in the right direction.
- Having at least Home, ideally Home + all the Summaries.
Also, one important detail : (almost?) no custom card and custom style
I feel its important its seen as a possibility, but we already have the ones we got already
Yeah we have a demo planned for the website which shows people what Home Assistant is for and how it could work in your home. The real demo can be kept but will be a link rather than embedded
Right, so that's a different use case. For now, let's focus on updating the existing demo, it needs to look better. I like getting JLos dashboard in.
If MockEntities doesn't support all, we can drop those entities.
or claude it 😉
demo/script/develop_demo
I'm working on the demo codebase to add support for more domain using mock
Shall I stop ? And wait ?
@round ocean You can continue if it's not to hard to do. Otherwise, we can check blocking point together and I can add support for the stuff you need
@round ocean I merged @vagrant iris PR https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/pull/29980
As soon as I have some time, i'll push my demo !
If we can make a great way to generate dumps that we can easily integrate into the demo (maybe with AI), we could use the demo to highlight cool shared dashboards, maybe even link back to their original post on social media to highlight the creator. I think it would also be cool to randomize the demos (for frontpage still a chosen one)
We can make the demo share state outside of the iframe via postMessage, so you don't have to keep the website in sync with the HA UI (maybe for another thread)
Oh I see. I want to isolate cards more though. It's better to show isolated demos instead of the entire UI. We don't want to overwhelm the user. I do think we can have a version that uses the real demo though, sounds very cool
