Community Highlights: 4th edition
For the 4th edition, I thought it fitted to devote the community highlights to 3D!
That is actually a lie, the 3rd edition would have been much more fitting, but was hijacked by Paulus ;) At least it’s my 3rd community highlight writeup, so that counts, right?
Ready for some highly inspiring and mind-blowing 3D creations?
3D home navigation and control, using Unity
Are you sure you ready? Because Harrie de Groot created a fully navigatable 3D model of his home using Unity, accessible from within Home Assistant.
You really need to watch the video below now…
Well done, Harrie! That looks slick!
More details on his creation can be found on the Home Assistant Community Forum.
3D printed interactive floorplan
If you have been around a bit, you might have come across a screenshot of
someone with an interactive floorplan in Home Assistant. Ryan Connolly
Talking about taking things into another dimension…

Getting started with your own 3D floorplan
Ok, so the above two, rather impressive, listings might be a bit out of reach
for the most of us. Still, with some help, you could still achieve some pretty
nice looking 3D floorplans. Aaron Godfrey
In his first blog post
He followed up with two blog posting on how to achieve this:
- Tips for creating a Floorplan in Sweet Home 3D
- Creating an Interactive 3D Floorplan in Home Assistant
Bonus tip: HomeByMe
I’ve personally got recommended a tool for creating a 3D floorplan with a tool
that is generally lesser-known, but actually pretty awesome! HomeByMe
This is a result of a 3D floorplan created with HomeByMe
It works fully in the browser and I enjoyed the experience using that.
So credits where credits due: Thanks for recommending me this sweet little
gem Andrea Donno
