I was reading the HA roadmap and thinking about the points where everyone (else) interacts with my HA environment. I’ve wanted displays/dashboards for a long time but mostly have either battery powered buttons or smart wall switches. These are good in that I can automate them but with two teenage children we have a lot of variability.

Tell me how everyone else uses HA in your house. Do they love it? Do they see only that buttons ‘do things’? Do they read dashboards and crave data?

Have you ever felt tempted to put a dashboard around the place? Maybe the rest of the family aren't bothered about longer term information etc.

I was thinking things like weather and power usage might help my family. I also thought something that showed who was home would be cool.

I don't really have enough stuff going on to need have a dashboard on the wall ATM. Maybe down the line, although it feels redundant when we both have phones. Maybe if I ever do something with lighting? The goal is really to not have to worry about manually doing things, I don't really use it myself unless an automation went wrong.
