Companion for Home Assistant

  2 reviews



Access your Home Assistant dashboard from a native companion UI, integrating better with your OS. Native features include:

  • Icon in your App Grid, Applications Menu, Dash, Dock, etc.
  • Native header bar
  • Save and restore current view and size when closed and re-opened
  • Two-finger swipe and mouse button support to go back/forward between views
  • Cross-desktop light/dark style support (if supported by your Lovelace theme)

Butler is designed to make getting at your Home Assistant dashboard easier for kiosks, your laptop/desktop, or your Linux phone. It does not support companion app features from Android and iOS like location services, notifications, or exposing device sensors.

Other features include:

  • Pinch-to-zoom
  • Set the scaling with Ctrl+Plus/Minus or Ctrl+0 to reset
  • Fullscreen from the menu, a keyboard shortcut, or a GSetting to better support kiosk use cases

Note WebRTC camera streams (i.e. used by some newer Nest cameras) are not currently supported.

Works great! There's one or two rough edges, but allows you to configure your URL, has a nice title bar, allows zooming in/out with shift+wheel and, most importantly, is not tied to your browser, so it keeps open when my Vivaldi crashes HAHA. The developer also seems very attentive and organized with his issue board.
