Features Home Assistant

Your home, on your own network

The lights should not go through a data centre to come on. Mirra talks to Home Assistant directly, on your LAN.

Home Assistant, natively

Local, and that is the point

The screen holds your Home Assistant address and token and speaks to it directly. Commands do not leave the house, latency is a few milliseconds, and if your broadband drops the lights still work.

  • Direct LAN connection to your own instance
  • Works with the internet down
  • Your token stays on your equipment

Read and control

Show a temperature, a door state or a camera; add a button, a toggle or a slider and use it. Widgets know which entities they can sensibly drive, so a picker will not offer to put a brightness slider on a door sensor.

Where people use it

The panel by the door

Everything off, front door locked, alarm set — one press on the way out.

The quiet check

Temperature upstairs, whether the garage is shut, and whether anyone left the immersion on.

Questions

Do I need to expose Home Assistant to the internet?

No, and you should not. The screen reaches it on your own network.

Which entities are supported?

Lights, switches, locks, climate, sensors, covers and cameras among others, with the picker filtering to what each widget can actually drive.

What happens if Home Assistant is offline?

Those widgets show as unavailable and everything else on the wall carries on.
