beautiful illustration - serious question why do ppl still use dashboards? I've been using HA for almost 10 years now and the best part is that everything is automated and I don't have to touch anything.
Do you automate music selection too? My music taste is very different depending on mood, not to mention my kids.
Or cameras?
I also automate lights but it's pretty nice to be able to control them manually too. Or just pause automations during winter/summer.
Granted I don't use a layout like OP but still.
Not everywhere has really unpredictable weather. And I have a garage at home and at work, and the garage leads directly into the building. I go to work without ever considering rain (though I do keep an umbrella in the car for when I have to go shopping, etc.).
i had a dashboard mounted to my wall for years we never touched it including me. only time i would open it was to check if it was still working lol
