Navet organizes smart-home state around the rooms, devices, and entities supplied by your active provider. The first screen is designed for glanceable state and common household controls.
Dashboard basics
- Use rooms to keep controls close to the physical spaces they affect.
- Use widgets for focused status or control surfaces.
- Keep common actions visible and move less frequent information into supporting views.
- Treat provider data as the source of truth when a device or room is missing.
Main Sections
- Home is the editable room-first overview. It supports custom sections and columns, layout packs, manual entity cards, drag ordering, sizing, locking, hiding, and undo/redo while editing.
- Lights leads with whole-home status, quick scenes, expand/collapse and whole-home power actions, then orders room groups by unavailable, active, and inactive state. Expand a room for individual brightness and power controls.
- Media promotes the large now-playing session while media is active and promotes browsing while idle. It also supports provider browsing and search, speaker destinations, grouping, playback, volume, and TV controls when the provider exposes them.
- Energy combines configurable KPI summaries with detailed usage history by device, room, or source. Day, week, month, year, and custom ranges depend on provider history/statistics support; live flow, tracked and untracked load, and source diagnostics remain available when reported.
- Climate summarizes current conditions, then groups controllable thermostats, HVAC devices, fans, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and water heaters by room. Environmental sensor details such as air quality and pressure follow in their own sections.
- Security combines a camera-first command center with actionable alerts, alarm controls, provider-backed activity history, a customizable overview, and grouped security entity cards.
- Household puts native chores into an attention-first Today list, keeps completed cards visible, exposes optional missions and rewards from House pulse, manages recurring work and people in dedicated views, and preserves provider automations and scripts under Routines.
- Settings controls appearance, dashboard profiles, kiosk behavior, interactions, providers, extensions, import/export, and project information.
Editing And Profiles
Home editing supports layout packs such as command center, security monitor, and energy wall, or a
custom section/column arrangement. Dashboard configuration can be exported and imported. The
standard and wall_display profile presets adjust spacing, title behavior, keep-awake, kiosk,
and Home-summary settings; scoped settings can remain device-specific instead of overwriting the
shared profile.
Kiosk mode hides normal dashboard chrome and keeps section, room, settings, and customization access in the orbit menu. In Home Assistant-hosted modes, hiding Home Assistant’s own header and sidebar additionally uses the optional shell module described in the Home Assistant guide.
Providers And Availability
Navet can keep multiple implemented provider sessions and combine selected providers in its normalized entity collections. Provider-scoped IDs prevent collisions between platforms. Advanced sections degrade when their required provider feature service is unavailable; consult the capability matrix instead of assuming every connected platform supplies media, camera, energy, calendar, weather, notification, or task services.
Appearance, Extensions, And Device Support
Navet includes Liquid Glass (glass), dark, light, and black theme families, eight built-in
accent colors plus a custom accent, built-in and uploaded wallpapers, optional reduced motion, and
adaptive effects that reduce expensive rendering on weaker hardware. The interface ships with
Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish,
Swedish, and Chinese message catalogs.
With visual quality set to Auto, ARM Linux browsers such as Raspberry Pi OS start in the low-cost rendering tier. Navet removes animated transitions, backdrop and filter effects, large shadows, ambient layers, and other compositor-heavy decoration while keeping controls and information intact. The setting is device-owned, so a wall panel can stay on Low without reducing visual quality on another signed-in phone or computer.
Custom sidebar extensions can open links in an embedded Navet page and attach up to five quick actions. Provider notifications and available update/restart actions appear in the app’s notification surface when the active provider registers those services. Navet is installable as a PWA and offers keep-awake and wall-display settings for tablet and kiosk use.

The widget guide documents the available widget types, supported sizes, and placement limits.
Household chores
The Household chores guide explains availability, profiles, assignments, one-time through tri-weekly schedules, ID-based card colours and edit-time overrides, optional motivation, Home and room summaries, shared history, backups, and the Home Assistant projection boundary. Use the task-oriented guides to set up and complete chores or manage and recover the workspace.
