<p>In the past the buzz word “Smart mirror” was used a couple of times in our <a href="https://gitter.im/balloob/home-assistant">chatroom</a> and even made it into the <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/1392">issue tracker</a>. The existing solutions (<a href="http://docs.smart-mirror.io/">Smart mirror</a>, <a href="http://michaelteeuw.nl/tagged/magicmirror">MagicMirror</a>, and <a href="https://github.com/HannahMitt/HomeMirror">HomeMirror</a>) seems to be overkill if you already have Home Assistant running somewhere in your house or apartment. Why not simple display a web page served by Home Assistant on the tablet? No app and no Raspberry Pi running in the background.</p>
<p>In the past the buzz word “Smart mirror” was used a couple of times in our <a href="https://discord.gg/c5DvZ4e">chatroom</a> and even made it into the <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/1392">issue tracker</a>. The existing solutions (<a href="http://docs.smart-mirror.io/">Smart mirror</a>, <a href="http://michaelteeuw.nl/tagged/magicmirror">MagicMirror</a>, and <a href="https://github.com/HannahMitt/HomeMirror">HomeMirror</a>) seems to be overkill if you already have Home Assistant running somewhere in your house or apartment. Why not simple display a web page served by Home Assistant on the tablet? No app and no Raspberry Pi running in the background.</p>
<p>There are plenty of ways to achieve this…<a href="/developers/rest_api/">RESTful API</a>, <a href="/developers/python_api/">Python API</a>, or one of the <a href="/components/#history">history components</a>. If it is to be a web page I’m using the <a href="/components/mqtt_eventstream/">MQTT Eventstream component</a> and <a href="http://git.eclipse.org/c/paho/org.eclipse.paho.mqtt.javascript.git/tree/src">mqttws31.js</a>.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hbmqtt">HBMQTT</a> broker provides websockets support for MQTT and mqttws31.js included in web page gives you access to the MQTT messages. It’s a matter of minutes. OK, it took a little longer because I’m not a Javascript guy to create the software part that will show details about your environment. The source is available at <a href="https://github.com/fabaff/home-assistant-display">https://github.com/fabaff/home-assistant-display</a> and the screenshot above shows the result. I guess that every person who is familiar with Javascript would be able to reduce the amount of code and to make it more flexible. Well, it’s a only prototype and showcase to include an image in this blog post.</p>
<p>I hope that this little article could give you an idea of extending Home Assistant in an unconventional way.</p>
