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!

This is why I quit driving: I won’t want a quarter of my house wasted to store a car.
Other than that, nice floor plan!
thanks! honestly I don’t even have a use for the storage space, my closet is like 20% full and my attic is empty.
In Texas having your car covered is critical too

May I ask why that is? Is it to shield it from the sun or hail?
Mostly sun, but the hail is brutal too (but not often)
Everyone’s car here has the most sun faded paint filled with cracks and chips. Cars younger than mine look 50 years old
Seriously, I’m tempted to repost this on the FuckCars community…
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 ofIts 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
I sort of forgot garages existed and just. Thought you had a car sneaking into your house?
Whats that dark empty room between the garage and master bath?
We don’t talk about that room… 🤫
But for real it’s a walk in closet. I have my servers in there, along with clothes and storage. I plan to put stats on the dashboard in that spot
this is awesome!! though 75 degress is so hot to me lol, I keep my thermostat on 65 and it still is too much sometimes
its set to cool at 78 actually 😆
74 and I start getting chilly, I think Texas has changed my perception of hot and cold
thats a good point I’m in new york coming off a bitter winter so 65 is cozy to me

Just amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Just to give me an idea of realism… how long did this take to do? All day? Week? Month? Year?
I have played around with SweetHome3D and Gimp, but this looks like it’ll be a step higher…
Thanks! took me a little under a week of tweaking here and there.
I learned that you should really just want until you’re SURE you’re done with the 3d model before making images and getting into the HomeAssistant part. Saves you from doing the same repetitive stuff over and over when you want to make a change.
its really not that hard, I bet you’d get the hang of it fast. Just start with the SweetHome3D part, once you are happy with it move on to the Gimp part.
dont settle for the built in resources that arent exactly what your furniture looks like. this site has practically everything: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/
Ok, thanks for the insight.
I haven’t used SweetHome3D for ages and didn’t know it could use Sketchup models, so thanks for that too!
I was just about to start on something like this! Is this the floorplan card? Any tips or links to help with the config?

Thanks!
Look at that car shit, OMG. Fuck you, car. Fuck cars so much.
