Description
The HA TV Dashboard brings your Home Assistant instance, camera feeds, and notifications to the biggest screen in your home - and makes it genuinely fun to use.
Toggle lights, peek at your front door camera, check the weather, and run automations, all without leaving the sofa. This is Android/Google TV done the Home Assistant way - fast, beautiful and completely free.
โจ What can it do?
๐ฅ Picture-in-Picture Camera Popups A motion alert fires & your camera feed pops up right over whatever you're watching. HLS, RTSP and WebRTC all supported. Pick your corner, set the size, add a title, icon, or message - and set it to disappear after a few seconds. Your show barely misses a beat.
๐ Home Control Overlay A silky sidebar that shows over any app, giving you tap-fast control of your lights, switches, climate, scripts, and more. No need to switch apps. Just press a button & your home obeys.
๐ฎ Remote Key Actions Map single, double presses on your TV remote to trigger the Home Control overlay or any Home Assistant action. Your remote just got a serious upgrade.
๐ Rich TV Notifications Beautiful banners with title, message, icon and optional image - pushed from Home Assistant automations. Person detected at the door? You'll know instantly.
๐ Live Transit Status Want to know if your Tube line is running before you even leave the sofa? Done.
๐ค๏ธ Weather, Time & Calendar Overlay Surface the things that matter to you, right on your TV. Morning briefing? Sorted.
๐ก Remote-triggered Notifications Fire any notification - video, rich or info - directly from a Home Assistant automation. Requires persistent background connection, but once set up, the possibilities are endless.
๐จ Native TV-first UX Smooth animations, a clean layout, and a couch-friendly design built from the ground up for Android/Google TV.
๐ Private & Secure
Your data stays yours.
- Local-first: HA TV Dashboard connects directly to your Home Assistant instance - no cloud relay, no middleman. - No stored credentials: Log in using Home Assistant itself. Tokens refresh automatically and nothing sensitive is stored locally. - Remote access: HTTPS remote instances are supported. - Accessibility Service: HA TV Dashboard uses Android's AccessibilityService API solely to detect remote control key presses (single, double, and long-press events on the D-pad/remote). This is required because Android TV provides no alternative API for intercepting hardware key events from outside the foreground app. No screen content, personal data, or user actions beyond key events are ever accessed, transmitted, or stored. - Display over other apps: Used exclusively to render overlays (camera popups, Home Control sidebar, notification banners) on top of other apps. No content from other apps is read or captured.
โก Easy to Set Up
If you can set up Home Assistant, this is a walk in the park. Seriously.
Auto-discovers your Home Assistant instance, or enter your URL manually. Log in with your HA credentials — no long-lived access tokens required.
๐ธ 100% Free. Every Feature. Always.
No paywalls. No subscriptions. No "pro" tier. Everything you see here is completely free, forever.
๐ Requirements
- Running Home Assistant instance (local or HTTPS) - Android TV or Google TV device - Accessibility Service permission - used solely to detect remote control key presses (D-pad/hardware button events). No screen content or personal data is accessed via this permission. - Display over other apps permission — used solely to show overlays (camera popups, control sidebar, notification banners) on screen.

EDIT: last update fixed it, it now works perfectly on Shield. Like many users, on Shield TV, just goes to a blank page once the HA address is entered...

I can confirm. They have fixed the bugs being reported in other reviews. I was pleasantly surprised with how easy the setup is. Make sure to look up the wiki because the app doesn't guide you through it. One star off for the inability to hide my cameras from being seen. The app has a weird mix of being its own HA dashboard/interface but also just displaying HA's dashboard. It should pick one or let users toggle the app's sidebars by clicking a button.

Exactly what I needed. I was looking for a way to display my doorbell camera feed PIP in my Hi sense Google TV. I tried multiple avenues without success (Quick bars, Notifications for Android TV, TV Overlay, etc.). The closest I came to was using NfATV, but there was an 8-10 sec delay in showing the notification, which felt like far too long. This application works great and the companion blueprints made the task of displaying the camera feed and customizing it super easy. Thanks!

I can install it on Sharp tv (Android 11), bur it doesn't work (not enough space error). Can't install on Sony tv (Android 10).

Don't bother with this app. Doesn't even work on Google TV streamer, let alone other televisions.

Can not even properly login. Sometimes the login page shows after input of the HA url. Most of the just opens a white screen where only the cursor is shown.

It is functionally broken and does not allow you to connect to your local home assistant instance
