Home automation plus tidy and clean design is not often going hand in hand. When you lookup at Google for “home dashboards”, the solutions and ideas look overwhelming, crowded or not thoughtfully designed (personal opinion).
With openhab for example, you can merge devices and services from different companies. The backend provides a lot of functionally. But the frontend solutions are not attractive to the eye (again, personal opinion) but very customisable in terms of home automation control.
The Apple Homekit App, for example, provides a thoughtful interface but only allows you to control devices and see their information. If you considering to hang it on your wall as a control-center, you would have to buy a very expensive “screen” (iPad).
SmartMirrors handle the overview context but are limited with controls (e.g. via Amazon Alexa)
This project should provide a platform independent solution. I found inspiration on dribble, medium or in interesting talks about dashboard design. The problem is that they are often just design-concepts or limited in there features.
To sum up, the motivation is to create an application that extends the functionally beyond controlling. So integrate as many services (e.g. weather, public-transport, calendar infos) as possible without setting back on the design.
