Creating a Custom Illustrated Home Assistant Dashboard
Problem
The author hired an illustrator to design a custom illustration for their Home Assistant dashboard, yet the community raised concerns about AI eroding artistic value and the lack of personalized, human‑crafted UI options.
Pain points
- AI-generated art devalues hand‑crafted illustration
- Limited options for personalized, human‑crafted UI design
- Insufficient demand for professional human artists in UI customization
Questions to verify
- Would you be willing to pay for such custom illustrations?

- Have you ever lost interest in traditional illustration because of AI art?

AI kinda ruined this style for me. The first thing I did when I saw it was start searching for AI incongruities which is sad.

The illustrator did beautiful work, it's amazing how much different your program became from the original dashboard to one simple home gui.
