I turned an old phone into a Home Assistant dashboard for my desk
It's actually really useful, and super easy to do, too.

Home Assistant is the driving force behind my smart home, allowing me to centrally manage all kinds of devices that I've connected through various different protocols. Many of these are Zigbee devices, but I also have many different Wi-Fi-based devices and integrations with other services for data collection, too. While I have a simple smart switch on my desk for turning on and off my light, I wanted to see about making my own dashboard that I could control from my desk.
