Recommended Posts

 

Hey I am looking for something simliar to this (https://dakboard.com/site) but with more flexibility and maybe just setting something up locally on my unraid server. Things I think I am interested in displaying:
- Photos
- Calendar
- Weather
- Traffic
- News, Sports Feeds
- Audio To show currently playing track from my Logitech Media server when in use.
- Plex - Show On Deck DVR, Recently Added Movies
- Show some UNRAID stats

Has anyone done anything like this? If so what are you using.......I'm looking for more OpenSource if possible.

Hi,

check out Home-Assistant (HA). I recently started using it. There is a weather-card and you can configure custom sensors for e.g traffic monitoring (Maybe with Google travel api or Waze api?). Not everything is possible to configure via the Web-Interface. Thus, if you want to have full-control about the lovelance UI, you can enable yaml mode. This site might also be a good source.

 

I also stumbled about this thread a few days ago showing a custom component for UnRaid. However, it is not a public available component.

Well I have Hassio running in a VM on my unraid server. Never thought this would be this time consuming and geeky at the same time.

 

 

How to get started:

 

1) Build out the VM

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/hassio-on-unraid/59959

 

2) Start Collecting Data

Nmap - https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/nmap_tracker/

Discovery - https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/discovery/

 

3) Reference other peoples setup to get ideas of what you might want in your setup

 

4) Once you get ideas from #3 you can start building your layout with lovelace ui

 

5) Must have Add ons

    Samba Share

    SSH

    HACS

    Configurator

 

Right now I have multiple tabs with different info:

Home tab - Today's weather, Today's Calendar events, Upcoming birthdays, Trash schedule
 

Calendar tab - Weekly Calendar, Boys soccer schedule, Upcoming sports teams.
 

Weather tab - 5 day weather forcast for local plus 3 other locations. This is what will fit the screen best on an ipad.
 

Plex tab - Recently added TV, Recently Added movies
 

Streamer tab - Now playing plex(includes any device that can play plex..xbox, shield, rokus), Now playing Shield, Picore music player, Now playing Roku, HDHomerun Channels
 

Network Tab - Speedtest stats run hourly, Switch/router/server status, PiHole info, List of all my wired/wireless devices and if they are online or not
 

Unraid status - Right now I am using the docker unraid api to get array, parity, cpu, memory, disk space status, what VMs and dockers are running.
 

Hassio tab - Hassio Version installed, latest hassio release, uptime, HACS pending updates, Hassio addons with version running.

 

Iphone tab - testing right now.

 

 

Alert triggers I have setup:

If speedtest is less than 40 send me an email.

If any of the Addons have updates send me an email.

If Hassio has an update send me an email.

 

Things I still want to add -

Presence detection based off of iphones.

Upcoming driving times - work, soccer, etc.

Would like to pull more info from unraid.

Want to pull some more info from my Access Point if possible.

Pull some stats from my pfsense box.

Clean up some calendar stuff.

Other alerts for different things.
