I used SweetHome3D + Gimp to recreate my whole home!

Lots of measuring and downloading textures and models, but I finally have a digital ‘clone’ of my home!

The lights all react to changes in color and brightness, and are clickable. I made the buttons transparent so it looks cleaner.

Thermostat is in the center, if clicked it opens the thermostat options. The background glow of the temperature turns blue when cooling and red when heating (black when idle)

My 3D Printer can be turned on by clicking on it too, plus it shows the current progress if it is running.

I’d love to see other people’s floorplans for ideas, comment with a pic if you have one set up!

      Wtf, does it do some primitive form of ray tracing to figure out how the lights bounce around the floor plan? That’s sick!

      Here I am using Apple home like a loser

        SweetHome3D does that part.
        You export an image for every light, where its the only light on. Everything is black except where the light shines. Make those black parts transparent in Gimp or PS.

        now when you layer them you have each light’s beams all intersecting and mixing.
        There is a background image where all lights are off that they all stack on top of

        Its far simpler than you might imagine.

          Simple but genius!

          Do you set the opacity of a given light layer to the brightness of the real light?

            yep! the minimum opacity is set to 40% though, otherwise they look off when dim see my code in another comment reply

          This is very similar to how I did my ghetto manual version of this on a picture elements card. Except I did it in 2D, which I actually find to be cleaner and easier for me to interpret at a glance.

          But I really like the reactivity of your lights in color and brightness. Does sweethome allow you to make plans in 2D?

            my original plan was to make it really bare-bones and minimal LOL

            i just kept going and going and ended up with near photo-realism. I couldn’t help myself. I even put in my 3d printed wall art by exporting it from fusion as a obj LOL

              I think that’s a pretty common theme for home assistant projects. I’ve been known to take things way too far on several occasions.

                it’s a never ending rabbit hole. my goal now is to never touch a light switch.
                already have my office and bathroom turn on via PIR sensors (using ESPHome), gonna buy a ton since they are so cheap

            Does sweethome allow you to make plans in 2D?

            I think what you’re after isn’t technically 2D vs 3D but ‘Perspective View’ vs ‘Orthographic View’ (but tl;dr: no).

            Perspective view emulates your vision, but orthographic is what you would use for engineering / architecture drawings. Looking top down like this, for instance, in perspective view you can see both the top of the wall and the bottom of the wall (what’s shown), but in orthographic view those would appear as a single line like in architecture drawings.

            All that being said, I don’t think Sweet Home 3D can do orthographic views, though don’t have it in front of me to check.

    Yours is so much nicer than mine!! I got this one made for our little studio apartment, but we never really used it so I didn’t bother polishing it up. The temp on the fridge is the apartment temp, and the lights are visible buttons, but I love your invisible buttons and will follow how you did it if I end up doing it again!

      looks clean though! I originally planned on doing something more minimal but went overboard

      you could use that empty space in the corner for stats like indoor temp and weather!

    I was just about to start on something like this! Is this the floorplan card? Any tips or links to help with the config?

    Good job. Although those non-90⁰ walls are killing me.

    Is there a reason why it’s like that and you couldn’t expand the bathroom to make part of the hall and room entrances into usable space and straighten the wall angles?

      Yeah it makes NO sense. I found out how many empty triangles of space there are in this house while doing this project.

      Those closets are actually rectangles in real life.

      The bathroom door should absolutely be further out, the space is wasted currently
