ha-fusion is a custom Home Assistant dashboard built with Svelte that provides a modern, performant interface for controlling smart home devices.
The tool addresses the need for a more intuitive and responsive dashboard alternative to Home Assistant's default interface. It allows users to create customized views of their home automation setup with a focus on ease of use and performance. The dashboard supports multiple installation methods including as a Home Assistant add-on, via Docker, or through Kubernetes, making it accessible across different Home Assistant deployment types.
Users should be aware that the original repository is no longer actively maintained, with development continuing in a maintained fork. For those already using this dashboard or considering adoption, migration to the maintained fork is recommended to ensure access to ongoing fixes and new features. The tool suits users who want a more polished, responsive dashboard experience than the default Home Assistant interface and are willing to manage a separate custom component. It works well for wall-mounted tablet displays, offering a menu-disable option via query strings to prevent accidental modifications. The dashboard includes keyboard shortcuts for common actions like filtering, saving, and undo/redo functionality.
The original project shows no recent development activity, with maintenance having transitioned to a community fork. The tool was built with Svelte and supports Docker Compose for straightforward deployment and updates. Development documentation points contributors toward the Svelte learning resources, indicating the project was designed to be accessible to developers familiar with that framework.
