Getting started

  • Getting started

    What you need for Thuisbord, and the order in which you set everything up.

  • Pairing a screen

    Pair a tablet on the wall, your TV or a laptop with the pairing code, and use the screen with a remote control.

Meter and power price

  • Connecting the meter with Homey

    Connect your smart meter through Homey Pro: the connection key, the Thuisbord app for Homey, your consent and the Flow.

  • Connecting the meter with Home Assistant

    How Home Assistant sends the meter readings to Thuisbord: the connection key in secrets.yaml, the Thuisbord package and an automation made from the blueprint.

  • What Thuisbord receives

    Which meter values Homey or Home Assistant sends, how your consent works, and how to renew the key or disconnect the meter.

  • Contract and tariff

    Choose your kind of electricity contract and enter its prices, so Thuisbord shows what power really costs you.

Family

  • Family members

    Add the people at home with a name and a colour, so tasks appear per person on the screen.

    Add tasks on your phone, make them repeat, and tick them off on the screen with five seconds to undo.

  • The shopping list

    Add shopping with an amount and a note, avoid doubles, tick items off and add items you bought before again.

The screen

  • Reading the screen

    What Home, Prices, Family and evening mode show, and what the colours mean.
