Can I put Home Assistant on the XENEON EDGE?

Yes. Home Assistance is an iCUE widget that shows your Home Assistant on the Edge, and EdgeOS Premium has a Home Assistant widget that fills the Edge with no iCUE needed.

Is there a Home Assistant desktop widget for Windows?

Yes. EdgeOS Premium's Home Assistant widget sits on your Windows desktop, behind your apps or over every window, on any monitor.

Can I show Home Assistant on a second monitor?

Yes. Switch the monitor on in EdgeOS under Settings → Screens and put the Home Assistant widget on it, or open your Home Assistant dashboard in a full-screen browser there.

Home Assistance does, since it's an iCUE widget. EdgeOS's Home Assistant widget doesn't: it runs on your monitors, and on the Edge in Desktop Mode.

Are these made by the Open Home Foundation?

No. They're made by QAEM, an independent developer, and aren't affiliated with or endorsed by the Open Home Foundation. Home Assistant is a trademark of its owner.

Home Assistant

Two ways, both on Windows: Home Assistance, an iCUE widget for the XENEON EDGE, and the Home Assistant widget in EdgeOS Premium, which also works on any monitor. Both show your lights, climate, blinds, media, scenes, locks, sensors and cameras live, with their controls a tap away.

Built into EdgeOS

EdgeOS is a free Windows app with its own widgets, on your monitors and the XENEON EDGE. Some of them need Premium, a one-time upgrade; there's nothing else to buy.

EdgeOS

EdgeOS Premium

The Home Assistant widget: your entities live, with their own controls, history graphs and camera stills, on any monitor or the XENEON EDGE, with no iCUE needed. One sign-in covers every Home Assistant widget on every screen.

Free app · Premium $19.99 once

Coming soon

Home Assistance

iCUE widget

Home Assistant in iCUE on the XENEON EDGE: six layouts (Tiles, Control, Room, Sensors, Scenes and Camera), sensors with their last 24 hours as a graph and camera stills every 10 seconds. It finds Home Assistant on your network and connects through Qaem Hub.

$9.99

Which one to use

Home Assistance, if you live in iCUE

It sits on an iCUE screen page beside your other iCUE widgets. It needs a XENEON EDGE, iCUE 5.45 or newer and Qaem Hub, and it's a one-time purchase on the Elgato Marketplace.

EdgeOS, for a second monitor or the whole Edge

The Home Assistant widget runs on any monitor, on the desktop or over every window, and on the Edge in Desktop Mode, without iCUE, next to EdgeOS's other widgets.

What to expect

Locks and alarms are guarded

Home Assistance unlocks and disarms only where you allow it, always with a second tap. In EdgeOS you choose which entities the widget is allowed to open.

Your sign-in stays on your PC

Home Assistance keeps it encrypted on your PC, and you approve it with your own Home Assistant login. EdgeOS keeps an alarm code, if your alarm needs one, in its settings on your PC.

From your PC

Both connect from your PC to your Home Assistant, on your network or wherever your PC can reach it.

Several jobs, several copies

Add the widget more than once: one for a room's lights, one for sensors, one for a camera.

Other ways to get Home Assistant on a screen

A browser in full screen

Free, and it shows your own Home Assistant dashboard exactly as you built it, one page at a time. On the Edge, it needs the Edge used as a Windows screen.

Community desktop apps

Free, open-source projects such as HA Desktop Widget and Home Assistant Dock for Windows put a small panel of entities on the desktop.

A Raspberry Pi kiosk

Projects such as TouchKio turn a Raspberry Pi with a touch display into a wall panel. That's Linux on its own device, not your PC.

Setup guides

Set up Home Assistance

Install Qaem Hub and its Home Assistant module, import Home Assistance in iCUE, then connect your Home Assistant with your own login or a long-lived token.
