Become a sponsor to Andrej Friesen

Hi, I'm Andrej 👋

I build Dashboard Assistant —
a declarative, unbreakable Home Assistant kiosk OS built on NixOS. Flash it to a mini-PC, tablet or a Rasperry Pi, point it at your Home Assistant, and get a self-contained wall panel that integrates back into HA over MQTT: the display, brightness, zoom, dark mode, power, current page and device health all become entities you can automate.

No Linux knowledge needed. A bad update never bricks the panel - it keeps every
previous generation and rolls back automatically. And you update the whole OS from
inside Home Assistant.

I'm active in the Home Assistant community: I organize Home Assistant events
and bring along my 10-inch mini rack running Home Assistant to show off at meetups. Dashboard Assistant grew out of wanting a wall panel that Just Works, and I develop it in the open.
Sponsoring doesn't buy the code. It keeps hardware on my bench (Raspberry Pi 4/5, tablets, SBCs),
and buys the time to support more devices, run community events, and answer issues.

If this saved you a weekend of fighting with a kiosk, consider chipping in. 🙏

Where the money goes:

• 🧰 Hardware on the bench — Pi 4/5 + official touchscreen, tablets, SBCs to test on real devices
• 🧑‍🔧 Maintenance time — issues, the OTA update path, tracking a stable NixOS channel
• 🎤 Community — organizing and showing up at Home Assistant events
