introducing smartly

the hubitat dashboard skin engine

Goal: “Make hubitat dashboard prettier and more ‘marketable’, hubitat sales will increase, hubitat will hire more developers that fix all the things, smartly ends up being unneeded.”

note from me, ezeek (aka spelcheck)

I’m a huge fan of Hubitat, what it stands for and the concept of local automation. Sadly, when compared to SmartThings, Wink, ActionTiles, SharpTools, etc the dashboard was lacking a modern feel. Sure, HE developers allowed Custom CSS so you can do anything you’d like with it, but along with a few basic shortcomings there was no consistent design and no consistent way to ‘skin’ the dashboard.

“Let’s face it, the stock HE dashboard isn’t pretty. Let’s give HE an assist to get them over the hump.”

With this in mind, and with the help of an excellent team of testers and new friends over the past two months, we’ve built a user-friendly skin engine. I hope you’ll enjoy using smartly, and I hope you’ll continue to support the development by reporting issues and with your patience.

These skins use image and font assets that are hosted on a CloudFlare mirrored server. A docker-based locally hosted option using @markus’s JSinject platform to perform intelligent switching between local and cloud assets is in development (see Roadmap below).

  • Individual background, font and border color picker.
  • Custom attribute unit labels.
  • Allow color and border changes per tile and per tile state by color picker.

  • All skins carefully designed to allow for ‘half height’ tiles (smarter use of space).
  • HE dashboard UI facelift (with focus on useable mobile design).

Roadmap

  • [built, testing] Make your own skins! Extensible and dead-simple skin creation. (see smartly-skins repo )
  • [in development] Docker-based image, prebuilt specifically for local storage of all required skin assets. not needed since launch of File Manager
  • [in development] Device Driver for intelligently switching between using local or cloudflare hosted assets built on @markus’s JSinject platform.
  • Allow 5200+ material icon chooser to be used per tile TYPE to set default tile type icons.

smartly is and will always be free, but the server that it runs on isn’t. we are running on a modest AWS EC2 instance behind CloudFlare [free], which totals up to roughly $100/year.

we graciously accept donations, and they will be put towards covering the cost of the server, but also coffee for ‘ludicrous’ speed enhancements, bug fixes and support.
