Mobile User Interface
At the moment (as of Feb. 24) I control my Smart Home over 19 individual tabs. Use the menu links below to navigate through the tabs. Each tab contains a dark and a light mode.
Tab Overview
Home-Tab | Room-Tabs | Weather-Tab | Remote-Tab | Calendar-Tab | Raspberry Pi-Tab | Health-Tab | Chores-Tab | Alarm-Tab | Automations-Tab | Batteries-Tab | Energy-Tab | Hardware-Tab | Playstation-Tab
The Home - Tab 
The Home Tab serves as the default and optimal starting point, providing a convenient way to explore features by granting direct access to all tabs within the User Interface. Navigating back to the Home Tab is made simple—just press the back-chip located at the top of each page.
Within the Home Tab, a custom header showcases each tab positioned above the welcome card, ensuring an organized layout. The quick access area below stands out as my preferred method for navigating the app, offering direct entry to all dashboards.
The Home - Tab Light Mode
The Room - Tabs
As the name implies, the Room Tab is where I manage all scenes, scripts, plugs and media players specific to each room. I predominantly use Philips Hue bulbs connected to a Raspbee II from Dresden Electronics as my Zigbee Gateway for lighting with the exception of an old IKEA Floalt Panel. Furthermore, all scenes can be controlled through voice commands via Google Assistant.
The Room - Tabs Light Mode
The Weather - Tab
This tab mainly serves as the dedicated control hub for my roof terrace and it features the weather forecast from met.no, delivered by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. Additionally, three sensors provide real-time data on temperature, humidity, and light intensity. The tab also includes control options for the outdoor lights through the wall switch card.
