Why This Exists

The problem with Lovelace. It's great for quick device control, but its card model is centered around individual devices and rooms. Real home automation is more nuanced -- you don't control a boiler directly, you set a heating schedule with climate zones that don't always map 1:1 to rooms (an open-plan ground floor is one zone, not four). You want manual overrides per zone when needed, but the system should coordinate the boiler with the TRVs automatically, driven by temperature sensors. When there's spare solar power, the ACs should heat opportunistically -- again with manual override when you want it. Lovelace doesn't give you this level of control over the interface or the logic behind it.

What made it possible. This entire system -- 70+ automations, a custom React dashboard, validation tooling, entity management -- was built from scratch in two weeks by one person using Claude Code. There is no visual editor for the dashboard; it's custom React code. There is no UI for editing automations; everything lives in YAML files managed through Claude Code. You describe what you want in plain language, and the AI writes the code, validates it, deploys it, and documents it. Yes, there are risks in AI-generated code, but they are mitigated by validation at every step (pre-push hooks, TypeScript checks, entity reference validation), a structured workflow that catches issues early (Compound Engineering), and tight integration with HA through CLI tools that…
