Your home in 3D. Live, from above.

HomeCraft shows your home as a real 3D model in Home Assistant. Lamps glow the way they really shine, devices show their state, and you see at a glance what is happening at home.

The HomeCraft panel in Home Assistant: a real house in 3D at dusk, with garden, driveway and a label for each room.

Features

Everything happening at home, in one view.

Not lists of switches, but your own home: with the rooms you live in, the lamps that are on and the devices that are running.

A house in 3D seen from above at an angle, with labels for dining room, living room, utility room and the rooms upstairs.

3D from above, with live light

Your home as a real 3D model: facade, roof, floors and rooms. Daylight follows the sun and the weather; lamps are real light sources that dim and change colour, just like at home.

  • From the whole house to a single floor or room
  • Light spills through doorways into the hall
  • Only draws when something changes: easy on a tablet

Lamps, devices and your car from Home Assistant

Connect what you already have. More than 50 kinds of devices get their own small 3D model that shows their state: the radiator glows, the washing machine shakes, the screen lights up.

  • Tap to switch, hold for more
  • Climate, cameras, media and alerts in their place in the house
  • Rooms link to your areas automatically, in seven languages
The ground floor seen straight from above: dining table, kitchen, stairs and living room, with the lamps that are on.

Draw your own home: floor plan, interior and kitchen

Three editors with one familiar layout. Draw walls, rooms, doors and windows; furnish the rooms; design your kitchen. HomeCraft builds the 3D house for you.

  • Right inside Home Assistant, on any device with a browser
  • Or start with a sample house
  • Your whole home in one backup file

Climate, energy and signal

See where it is warm or cold, where your power goes and where the wireless signal is weak, as a map over your own floor plan.

Wall tablet and kiosk

Made for a tablet on the wall: give each screen its own name, let automations fly to a room, or set it to view only.

Seven languages

English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Chinese and Hindi. Every text, in every editor.

Private: everything stays home

Your home, your lamps and your settings live in your own Home Assistant. No account, no cloud, nothing is sent anywhere.

HomeCraft settings: display, camera, weather and light, devices, tablet and kiosk, users and permissions, house and backup. A HomeCraft repair notice in Home Assistant about linked entities that no longer exist.

At home in Home Assistant

Feels like part of Home Assistant

HomeCraft is a regular integration with its own panel and a dashboard card. It works with your areas, your user permissions, your automations and your notifications.

  • Dashboard card for the house, a floor or a room
  • Actions for automations: fly to a room, highlight a room during an alarm
  • Reports what is wrong by itself, with a fix included

How it works

Your home on screen in three steps.

  1. Install the integration

    Add HomeCraft to Home Assistant as a custom repository and restart. HomeCraft then appears in your sidebar.

  2. Draw your home

    Draw walls, rooms, doors and windows, or start with the sample house. HomeCraft builds the 3D model and bakes the daylight.

  3. Connect your lamps and devices

    Light points from your floor plan are already suggested. Tap one, pick the lamp, and watch it shine live.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

What do I need?
  • Home Assistant 2024.7 or newer.
  • A recent browser with WebGL2. All common browsers from recent years support it, on desktop, tablet and phone.
  • Your own lamps and devices in Home Assistant, if you want to connect them. Without them you can still draw and look around.
Is HomeCraft free?

Yes. HomeCraft is free and open source: the code is free software under the GPL-3.0. The building core that turns your floor plan into a 3D house is a closed module with its own licence, and it is also free to use and redistribute.

What happens to my data?

Nothing outside your home. Everything is stored locally in your own Home Assistant: your house, lamps, devices and settings. HomeCraft has no account and no cloud, and sends nothing.

This website also uses no cookies, no trackers and no external fonts.

Does it work on a wall tablet?

That is what HomeCraft was made for. A few tips:

  • Put the browser or a kiosk app in full screen and keep the screen on.
  • Give each screen its own name under Settings › Panel ID of this screen, so automations can target exactly that screen.
  • Leave Power-saving drawing on: at rest HomeCraft draws nothing, so the tablet stays cool. Weaker tablets automatically get a lighter quality.
  • Set a shared screen in the hall to view only, so nobody changes anything by accident.
Do I have to draw my whole home myself?

You draw the floor plan yourself in HomeCraft, with walls, rooms, doors and windows. You do not need any other program for that. Want to look around first? Start with the sample house.

Can I join the beta?

The beta is currently by invitation only, for a small group of testers. The code is already public on GitHub.
