Energy house

Your home as a house, with its energy and your readings pointed out on it.

Official, in the community Tiledash’s own, as @tiledash/energy-house. It’s in every account’s widget picker, nothing to install, and gets better by itself. About the community

A picture of a house with your home’s power pointed out on it: solar on the roof, the grid’s box at the edge of the garden, what the house uses, the home battery and the car in the garage. Its parts follow your energy meters, like the Energy flow, and on Tiledash’s pictures the solar panels, the car and the battery only show when your home has them.

The tile shows one of your houses, made under Settings › Houses: start a side from one of Tiledash’s five houses (detached, terraced, semi-detached, a bungalow or a flat with a balcony), or make a picture of your own home in Tiledash, in your own ChatGPT or Gemini with the prompt Tiledash writes, or upload one. The house holds what its spots show, so every tile showing it shows the same: the energy parts at their spots, and readings of your own at any place, like the boiler’s temperature upstairs, the heat pump’s flow or the temperature outside in the garden. On a wide tile the values sit beside the house, on a tall one above and below it. The price now and today’s totals show as on the Energy flow.

The energy guide tells how, under Your own house.

House

house

Which of your houses the tile shows: those of the tile’s Homey, with a link to Settings › Houses where you make and change them. For a house with several sides (the front, the garden side), which sides show (all of them at first, down to one), how to move between them (swipe, dots or tabs) and whether they turn by themselves, for a wall panel nobody touches. On the house switches off the parts and values this tile leaves out; what you add to the house later shows up by itself.

Taps

The tile

Tap, hold and double tap

What tapping, holding and tapping the tile twice do. Each can open a dashboard (as a page, a popup, a side panel or full screen), start a flow, set a mood, change a Logic variable or send a web request. Until you choose, a tap does nothing, holding it does nothing and a double tap does nothing.
