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!

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!
