Dashboard Assistant OS¶

A declarative, unbreakable Home Assistant kiosk OS built on NixOS. Flash it, point it at your Home Assistant, and get a self-contained wall dashboard that integrates back into HA through a native custom integration (installable via HACS).

A tablet on the wall running a Home Assistant dashboard — A wall tablet booted straight into a Home Assistant dashboard.

Goals¶

Easy flash and install — no Linux knowledge needed.
Integrates natively with Home Assistant — a first-party integration (installable via HACS) exposes the device as entities you can automate; no MQTT broker required.
Unbreakable system via NixOS — a bad update boots into the last working generation.
Broad hardware support — x86_64 today; Raspberry Pi and other aarch64 boards planned.
