HA Component Kit (Hakit) is a set of React-based npm packages (@hakit/core and @hakit/components) for building highly customizable Home Assistant dashboards. It wraps the official Home Assistant WebSocket API for authentication, state, and actions, and provides ready-made UI components with real-time reactive updates.

Use cases

• build a custom Home Assistant dashboard with React
• create a nicer wall tablet view for my smart home
• communicate with Home Assistant via WebSocket from a React app
• use prebuilt smart home cards in my own UI
• build a fully bespoke smart home control centre
• show real-time Home Assistant entity states in a custom interface

When to choose

• you want full control over your Home Assistant dashboard layout using React
• you need real-time state updates from Home Assistant without extra glue code
• you want a mix of prebuilt components and custom React components
• you're building a dedicated smart home control panel or wall display

When to avoid

• you just want a simple dashboard without writing code
• you're not using React or don't want a JavaScript build pipeline
• you need a ready-made dashboard that works out of the box with no development
• your project doesn't involve Home Assistant
