Hello,
My IoT/Home Automation needs are centered around custom built ESPHome devices and I currently have them all connected to a HA instance and things work fine.
Now, I like HA’s interface and all the sugar candy, however I don’t like the massive amounts of resources it requires and the fact that the storage usage keeps growing and it is essentially a huge, albeit successful, docker clusterfuck.
Is there any alternative dashboard that just does this:
- Specifically made for ESPHome devices - no other devices required;
- Single daemon or something PHP/Python/Node that you can setup manually with a few systemd units;
- Connects to the ESPHome devices, logs the data and shows a dashboard with it;
- Runs offline, doesn’t go into 24234 GitHub repositories all the time and whatnot.
Obviously that I’m expecting more manual configuration, I’m okay with having to edit a config file somewhere to add a device, change the dashboard layout etc. I also don’t need the ESPHome part that builds and deploys configurations to devices as I can do that locally on my computer.
Thank you.
