A hand-crafted Home Assistant touch panel for every room of the house — each one custom to the room it lives in, designed in your browser without a line of code.
Nothing on this site is a mockup. Every card is rendered by the same LVGL code that runs on the panel — all 53 card types, in every size.
Room by room
Not just a home controller — it can be built per room.
You can build Aurora as the one dashboard by the front door — but it's designed to be built per room: the same panel, wearing exactly what that room needs and nothing it doesn't.
Living room
Movie night without hunting for three remotes — dim the lights, drop the blinds, and drive the TV from one piece of glass on the coffee table.
Kitchen
The morning glance: tonight’s forecast hour by hour, the family calendar, and one tap to put the breakfast playlist on the kitchen speakers.
Bedroom
Lights and fan from bed, volume down without a phone — then the panel fades to a photo slideshow and only lights up at night if you walk toward it.
Entryway
The three questions at the door: is it locked, who’s home, did anything need my attention while I was out.
What's inside
Live video on the glass
Camera cards put your Home Assistant cameras on the panel — and the panel’s own camera hardware-encodes H.264 and streams back to HA, so every room with an Aurora is also a room you can look in on.
Wakes when you walk up
At night the onboard camera watches for approach and lights the screen before your hand gets there. No tapping dead glass, no screen burning all night.
Screensavers that earn the wall space
Idle glass becomes a photo slideshow with the clock and outdoor temperature — or a full-screen Spotify now-playing with album art while music is on.
Spotify, done right
Now-playing with album art, a speaker picker for every Spotify Connect device, and a browsable playlist → track library. Tap a song, pick a room, it plays.
A real TV remote
Full LG webOS control — D-pad, volume, apps — plus a Magic-Remote trackpad page with a genuine drag-to-move cursor and scroll wheel.
One cable, once
Flash over USB a single time. Every update after that is wireless — redesign a room’s panel from the couch and press Flash.
A tour of the panel
Room controls — lights, fans, switches & blinds, one tap awayHome at a glance — locks, sensors & every light in one boardLG webOS remote — D-pad, transport & app shortcutsSpotify library — browse playlists, tap to play in any roomMagic-Remote trackpad — a real cursor, scroll & volumeOn-device settings — brightness, timeout & wake-on-approach
No YAML required
Design it your way
The web configurator runs on your own machine and builds each panel's firmware around the room you're putting it in.
Drag and drop
Pull cards from the palette and drop them anywhere on a 6×5 grid, page by page.
Drag to resize
Stretch any card and it redraws itself for its new footprint — a light is a 1×1 tile or a full-width dimmer, a media card grows from mini-player to full library.
Pixel-exact preview
The builder renders the same layout the panel will — what you see is what flashes.
Your entities, your rooms
A wizard binds every card to your own Home Assistant devices, and a rooms wizard generates per-room pages automatically.
If Home Assistant controls it, Aurora can put it on the glass.
Aurora speaks Home Assistant, so it inherits every integration you already run. Cards exist for all of these today:
Lights & dimmers
Light groups
Fans
Switches & outlets
Blinds & covers
Thermostats
Locks
Alarm panels
Cameras
Vacuums
Scenes & scripts
Sensors & trend charts
Doors & windows
Presence
Weather & live radar
Notifications
Calendars
Speakers & media players
Plus first-class support for Spotify (SpotifyPlus, with library browsing and a speaker picker), Sonos (grouping, sources, favorites), LG webOS TVs (including the Magic-Remote trackpad), Google & Apple calendars, RainViewer live radar, and Synology NAS status — every one of them in the card library.
Put one in every room.

Aurora began as a fork of jtenniswood/espcontrol and reuses its hardware bring-up; the dashboard is an independent rewrite. PolyForm Noncommercial license.
