Plan House Control with Hue and Home Assistant

Interactive render · Three.js

Try a lamp in a small sample room

Rotate the room and toggle the simulated lamp. The scene is an original sample layout, not the creator's apartment or a connection to your home.

Interactive render — not a photo or hardware proof. Original illustrative room, not a measured CAD model. All controls are simulated; no devices connected.

Explore the shape and a sample interaction in 3D.

Loads only when requested. No external assets or device connections.

Creator demos & walkthroughs

Short demos are not complete how-tos. Videos stay with their creators through the original platform's player; no clip is copied to Hackshop.

Creator demo: the apartment in a Mac menu bar

Short screen demo of the 3D app. The maker reports controlling real devices; the video does not independently show a physical Hue lamp responding or an end-to-end setup.

The original X post contains the creator's clip. Loading it connects to X, which can receive your IP address and page information. No player, script, or thumbnail is loaded before you choose it.

Still missing: No end-to-end House Control + Hue/Home Assistant setup walkthrough, or independently verified lamp-to-screen recording, was found in the checked primary sources.

House Control now has an inspectable implementation behind its apartment-style 3D interface. The scene is not proof that a particular lamp or air conditioner works. Treat it as an interface connected through explicitly chosen integrations, not a universal device exploit.

Start without connecting a home

Review the pinned version. Follow its build or release verification instructions on a suitable Mac or iPhone. Do not disable platform security checks merely because a guide contains a shortcut.
Explore the demo plan. Leave real accounts disconnected. Unlinked devices are simulated. Use this mode to decide how rooms, scenes and controls should look.
Choose one low-risk lamp. The Hue route uses a local bridge; Home Assistant uses your server's API. Smart Life uses Tuya's cloud and differs between app editions. Keep these routes distinct.
Pair deliberately. Use the project's connection guide and keep credentials private. Never paste a real home token or private link into a public issue or tutorial.
Verify both directions. Toggle the lamp, inspect the real light and check state after changing it through its normal control. A moving render alone proves only the UI changed. Keep exact models and test results in your own notes.

Compatibility is per route

The source says Apple Home devices are controlled on iPhone; on Mac that route is linking/simulated, not equivalent local control. Supported platforms do not establish support for every appliance model. Leave climate control out of the first experiment and retain the normal physical controls.

Optional agent access

Keep AI Access off for initial setup. Its private link carries access for whoever has it. If later enabled, start read-only, restrict permissions, select a short expiry and stop the link when finished. The AI provider may see room names, device state and the floor plan; a tunnel is not a promise that nobody else handles the traffic. This guide neither opens a tunnel nor controls your devices.

Walkthrough status

No Hackshop hardware-control video or finished-build photo is available. A demo-plan screen recording can illustrate navigation only. A physical walkthrough must visibly show the linked lamp and its state changing; request permission before reusing maker footage.
