CLUSTER DEVICES-HOME-SMART · 68 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2011-07-15
Smart home automation apps
The cluster comprises home automation and smart-home control applications, including dashboards, mobile companions, self-hosted servers, and integrations for various protocols. Dated entries are sparse and scattered across months from 2011 to 2026, with no sustained concentration or growth pattern. The traction leaders are annunciator-grid-card (26 stars), live_dashboard (18 stars), and Helm (9 stars).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
