Inspiration Grid

A developer commissioned an illustrator to draw a stylised portrait of his house, then turned the artwork into the interface for his Home Assistant dashboard. Instead of a grid of buttons and charts, the dashboard is a custom illustration where tapping rooms and devices controls lights and appliances. The approach is drawing attention as a more personal, design-forward alternative to standard smart home control panels.

People online are sharing and praising the idea, discussing it as an elegant way to make smart home controls both functional and personal.
