Testimonials "I have zero need for a physical dial in my home... Why do I want this so bad then?" - r/homeassistant "This looks awesome. At the moment, I show the Watts that I am producing/using. Left is -2000W, right is +2000W." - Ed de Tollenaer, Smart Home Junkie, NL (review unit) "I wasn't sure what to expect, but when I lifted it out the box I knew it was worth it. It's heavier and more substantial than I expected. The packaging was very high-end and the unit itself has really nice proportions. The LED effects look beautiful filling the empty corner of my desk. Comms from Analogue Desk Co. have been excellent throughout." - Joel, UK "A perfectly wonderful luminating informational kinetic sculpture" - r/IndustrialDesign Under the Hood Use the supplied, standalone software, or easily connect IDX to Home Assistant to show things like room temperature and energy usage as a glanceable needle movement.
