I hired an illustrator to draw my house. Now it's my Home Assistant dashboard antonfrolov.substack.com

Having one toilet in the living room and the other in the guest bedroom must be awkward. If you put the bidet controls on the dashboard you could add interest to visits.

I love that you hired an illustrator to make this!

Pro tip you don’t even need an illustrator. While I do encourage hiring humans to do this work you can also use PolyCam with a phone that supports lidar, export it to Claude with Blender and voila.

Pro tip the whole point is that it was made by an illustrator, and that's also the reason it's on the frontpage.

Perhaps “cool” is the wrong word. Did you notice the temperature recorded inside the house? 24degC (26 in the office). A little too warm for my taste.

This is beautiful. Reminds me floor796.

I used AI to get it draw it. What worked is giving floor plan I already had and putting some labels on it - brown dining table here, fridge here, etc.

What didn't work was giving it bunch of photos and asking it to just figure it out. For things it did figure out - it was nice, but it made way too make mistakes.

The entire point of it was to put light switches and heaters on the map so I don't have to fiddle with a number of toggles in a table/list.

p.s. I wish I had huge eink display for home assistant dashboards. Some concepts I made and seen online are glorious.
