What the remote reaches.
Thirteen kinds of device, a 24 hour chart for any sensor, and cameras as refreshed snapshots. All of it comes from your server, and none of it without one.
Thirteen kinds of device
Homeboard supports these domains when your server exposes them. Anything else it finds is shown but not driven.

What it shows
Sensors as chips. Temperature, humidity, door state and presence sit at the top of each room. A chip with a chevron opens a chart of its last 24 hours.
Cameras as refreshed snapshots. Not a video stream. Homeboard requests a still image from your server at an interval you choose in Settings, from two seconds to off.
Notifications from Home Assistant, with an unread counter, and the image attached to a notification if there is one.
Built for a remote, not for a mouse
- 01Six keys
Four arrows, OK and Back. That is the whole vocabulary. No other key does anything.
- 02Brightness is a mode
OK enters it, left and right change the value, OK or Back leaves it. A line under the light says which key does what, so nobody has to guess.
- 03Magic Remote
The pointer is supported. Every focusable element has a hover state distinct from its focus state.
- 04Back is predictable
It always goes up one level, then hands the television back to webOS.
