Hey folks,
Over the past few months I built a dedicated Home Assistant smart display for our kitchen. It started as a side project, but it’s now fully working and my family uses it every day, so I figured it might be useful beyond just our house.
It combines:
• Voice add/edit calendar
• Tasks / todos
• Meal planning + groceries
• Full-screen family dashboard
• Home Assistant controls
The main idea was simple: something the whole family can walk up to and use without opening apps or touching their phones.
Some real-life examples from our house:
– “add soccer practice tomorrow 5pm”
– “what’s on today?” while making coffee
– kids checking “what’s for dinner”
– adding groceries while cooking
– turning off lights / locking doors before bed
– quick glance at the day’s schedule on the counter
So it feels more like a small household appliance than a DIY tablet dashboard.
At this point it’s pretty stable. Before polishing it further, I’d love feedback from other HA users.
If anyone’s curious to try the prototype or help test, I’m happy to share it with a few folks and hear what you think.
