Home Assistant Dashboard Organization
Welcome back to Chuck Builds!
In this video, I’m tackling something every Home Assistant user eventually runs into — dashboard clutter. After rebuilding my entire smart home from scratch here in Florida, my Home Assistant setup had tons of the automatically generated entities on the dashboards.
So today, I’m walking you through how to clean up and organize your Home Assistant dashboards the right way, using areas, helpers, groups, and entity organization best practices.
Whether you're starting fresh or trying to fix years of leftover junk in your Home Assistant UI, this guide will help you build a clean, fast, and easy-to-use dashboard that makes sense for your smart home.
