Home Assistant is one of them that you think will do the simple task you want it to, but despite its large set of features, it misses the basic ones. The dashboard system is awful, it could be so simple.

What do you find awful about the dashboard? Is there another automation system that has a better implementation?

[–] warm@kbin.earth 2 points 1 month ago

I find it clunky. There's a forced default dashboard for some reason. I cant limit control of devices/integrations for other users.

I havent tried any others, Home Assistant does the job and is well supported, its just lacking in some areas.
