AI Agent HA Automation Creation

📋 Dashboard Creation

AI Agent HA now supports creating and managing Home Assistant dashboards through natural language conversations! Simply describe what you want, and the AI will create a complete dashboard for you.

How Dashboard Creation Works

  1. Natural Language Request: Ask the AI to create a dashboard for any purpose
  2. Entity Discovery: The AI automatically finds relevant entities in your Home Assistant
  3. Smart Organization: Entities are organized by room, functionality, or domain
  4. Dashboard Generation: Complete dashboard with proper cards and layout is created
  5. Integration: Dashboard is automatically added to your Home Assistant sidebar
  6. Restart Required: You'll need to restart Home Assistant to see the new dashboard in your sidebar

Dashboard Creation Examples

Simple Room Dashboard

"Create a dashboard for my living room lights"

The AI will find all living room light entities and create a dashboard with appropriate light control cards.

Security Dashboard

"Create a security dashboard with all door sensors, cameras, and alarm controls"

The AI will create a comprehensive security monitoring dashboard with sensor states, camera feeds, and alarm controls. After creation, restart Home Assistant to see the new dashboard in your sidebar.

Energy Monitoring Dashboard

"I want an energy dashboard showing power consumption and usage graphs"

The AI will create an energy monitoring dashboard with real-time power gauges, usage graphs, and cost tracking.

Climate Control Dashboard

"Create a climate dashboard for temperature control throughout the house"

The AI will organize thermostats, temperature sensors, and HVAC controls in a logical layout.

Supported Dashboard Features

  • Smart Card Selection: Appropriate card types for each entity (lights, sensors, media players, etc.)
  • Room-Based Organization: Entities automatically grouped by area when possible
  • Interactive Clarification: AI asks follow-up questions to refine your requirements
  • Template-Based Creation: Built-in templates for common dashboard types (security, energy, climate, etc.)
  • Dynamic Layout: Optimized card arrangements and view organization
  • Icon Integration: Automatic Material Design icon selection

Dashboard Types the AI Can Create

  • Room-Specific: Living room, bedroom, kitchen, etc.
  • Functional: Security, energy, climate, media, lighting
  • Device-Specific: All lights, all sensors, all switches
  • Scenario-Based: Morning routine, evening security, vacation mode
  • Custom: Any combination based on your specific needs
