Navet connects to your smart-home providers and brings their supported devices and features into one dashboard.
Available providers
- Home Assistant is the reference adapter and supports the custom panel, add-on, and standalone deployment routes.
- Homey uses the standalone cloud OAuth flow. A Home Assistant add-on can also connect Homey as an additional provider when its Homey client options are configured.
- openHAB uses the base-URL and credential flow. It can also be connected as an additional provider from Settings in a running multi-provider installation.
Follow the roadmap for planned providers.

No means the feature is unavailable through that provider in Navet. The platform may support
it in its own interface.
History and activity
Open the user menu → History and activity, choose an entity, select a date/time range, and choose State history or Activity. Times use the display’s time zone, shown in the form. State history preserves numeric readings and nonnumeric states; a retained state supplied at the range boundary is labelled State at the start of the range. Activity includes recorded cause details, such as an automation, service, or user action, when the source supplies them. Numeric energy statistics remain in Energy.
Each request targets the entity’s owning source. Home Assistant supplies state history and recorded activity; Homey supplies history for supported Insights entities. Unsupported sources show an unavailable message. Activity follows Home Assistant’s filters and can omit frequently changing numeric sensors. An empty result can mean there were no records, the entity is excluded, or the source no longer retains that period. Navet cannot reconstruct deleted records.
Queries cover up to 31 days. Navet reads recent records first, widens sparse requests, and stops once the newest 1,000 records and the limit indicator are known. Sources such as Homey that return a retained period are read once for the selected range. Results offer Show more for additional rows within that limit. Choose a shorter range for more detail. Home Assistant uses the existing authenticated transport in standalone, Ingress and custom panel.
Home Assistant
Navet maps Home Assistant rooms and realtime entities for lights, switches, sensors, climate, media players, cameras, energy, calendars, weather, notifications, updates, Assist pipelines, and supported task or automation surfaces. Home Assistant also provides the advanced dashboard and administration services marked Yes in the matrix above.
Calendar cards can create events in selected writable Home Assistant calendars. Read-only calendars continue to show events. Timed events use the display’s time zone, shown in the form; all-day events use calendar dates with a last included day. A failed create keeps the form details for retry. The owning adapter uses the existing authenticated transport in standalone, Ingress and custom panel.
Supported household helpers include toggles, buttons, numeric values, dropdown options, text,
and dates or times. Controls follow the entity’s available options and limits.
Native datetime values display and save in UTC, with the zone shown on the control.
Date/time helpers use Home Assistant’s local time.
Room names and entity assignments refresh after external Home Assistant registry edits and after reconnection. A failed metadata refresh retains the last loaded rooms and entities. These features work in standalone, Ingress, and custom panel installations.
Climate dialogs offer thermostat presets, climate fan modes, vertical and horizontal swing, and target humidity when the owning device advertises them. These controls use the climate device’s options and limits.
Open Household → Lists to view a connected source’s shopping or to-do items. Supported lists allow adding, completing or reopening, editing, and removing items. Description and due-date fields appear only when that list supports them.
Homey
Navet maps Homey rooms, lights, switches, fans, sensors, locks, covers, thermostats, speakers, people, and notifications. Locks show their current state and support lock/unlock through writable capabilities. Cover cards show available position readings and offer writable percentage or movement controls; stop depends on the device’s capabilities, and tilt is unavailable. Thermostats support target temperature and available operating modes; speaker controls follow writable playback, volume, mute, and track capabilities. Runnable Flows, Advanced Flows, and Moods are available as shared scene cards. People appear in presence cards, and matching Insights logs provide entity history for the last 31 days. Availability depends on Homey’s version and granted permissions. See the capability matrix above for supported features.
openHAB
Navet maps openHAB rooms and realtime items for lights, switches, fans, climate setpoints, speaker playback and volume, locks, covers, security sensors, batteries, and utility measurements. It does not register history, energy-statistics, alarm-panel, media-browser, camera, calendar, weather, notification, Assist, task, or provider-administration services.
Planned providers
Hubitat and SmartThings have catalog metadata only. They are not available as runtime providers yet.
Multiple Providers
Navet can store more than one implemented provider session in runtimes that expose provider management. In Settings → System you can connect or disconnect providers. Shared features use the entities you select and route commands to each entity’s owning provider. Canonical, provider-scoped IDs keep entities from different platforms distinct when their native IDs match.
