It has 54 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated November 9, 2026. Casora is a room-by-room dashboard integration for Home Assistant that comes with its own visual editor, Casora Studio. It reads the device registry, places each device in its room and builds separate layouts for desktop, wall tablet and phone. Studio is used in the sidebar to change rooms, tiles, badges and popups with a live preview, and dashboards can be exported and imported. It adds sensors, binary sensors and update entities, plus actions for timers, a smart light toggle and a thermostat control popup. Optional AI features, which need an AI task in Home Assistant, cover weekly energy, heating and ventilation reviews, camera and plant assessments, a recipe of the week and checks of update release notes. It works locally, is set up in the UI, and builds on the UI eXtension and button-card cards from the Marketplace. Automatic summary of the README and code of SH1FT-W/casora.
