HomeTiles

Tile-based firmware that turns ESP32-P4 touch displays into Home Assistant control panels — configured entirely in the browser, updated over the air, connected via MQTT.

Demo

New Here? Four Steps

1. Flash the firmware

   Download the prebuilt binaries for your device and flash them once over USB — every update after that installs over the air.

2. Connect everything

   Set up the MQTT broker, install the bridge integration, and pair the display with Home Assistant.

3. Build your dashboard

   Open the display's admin panel in your browser: click a cell, pick a tile type, done. Drag & drop, folders, everything saves automatically.

4. Use the display

   Control lights with a color wheel, check sensor history, energy statistics, weather, and media — all in touch popups on the device.

How It Works

Display ← MQTT → MQTT Broker ← MQTT → Bridge IntegrationHome Assistant

The display never talks to Home Assistant directly. The bridge integration pushes entity states, icons, weather, history, and energy data over MQTT — and executes the commands the display sends back. Firmware and bridge are MIT-licensed and developed together.
