I hope I'm in the right place for this question, but I was wondering if anyone would know if coding a Smart Home Dashboard that I can use to control and monitor my smart home would be a realistic project. I am aware of things like Home Assistant but I dont think it is for me. I have a fairly solid knowledge when it comes to html and CSS coding, not so much for any other languages, but I'm willing to figure it out.

If you want to make a web interface for hardware then you need some sort of API for it. So say you have a smart switch - you need some way to control it from code - Python, PHP, or other, and then make a dynamic website that can execute actions over it.

 

The key question is which smart hardware do you have? Some vendors provide APIs while others do not.
