## What is HA Dash?

Control your smart home from a native iOS app. HA Dash renders your Home Assistant Lovelace dashboards natively — no embedded web views, no lag, just fast native UI.

Designed for wall-mounted iPads and on-the-go phones alike, HA Dash connects directly to your Home Assistant server over your local network.

Features:
- Native rendering of Lovelace sections-layout dashboards
- Real-time entity updates via WebSocket
- Kiosk mode for wall-mounted displays (hides navigation, prevents sleep)
- Automatic server discovery via Bonjour/mDNS
- Long-lived access token or OAuth authentication
- Supports iPhone and iPad
- Climate controls with thermostat dial
- Sensor graphs and entity history
- Camera feeds, media players, vacuums, and more
- Open source

All communication is directly between your device and your Home Assistant server. No data passes through third-party servers. No analytics, no tracking, no ads.

Requires a Home Assistant server accessible from your device. Includes a built-in Demo Mode to explore the app without a server.
