Autodarts for Home Assistant

Autodarts logo

Your Autodarts board, live in Home Assistant: local, realtime and ready for automations.

Darts appear in Home Assistant a fraction of a second after they land, straight from the Board Manager in your network. Play and train with them, put a scoreboard next to the board, follow your statistics and let your home join in. No account, no cloud, no client ID.

Animation: a 301 match on the live card and the scoreboard side by side. Alex throws three triple 20s, the beds light up and the scoreboard counts down to 121; Sam scores 85; Alex checks out 121 with T20, outer bull and D18 for the game shot

What it does

  • Local and in realtime

    Found automatically with Board Manager 2; Board Manager 1 works too. Nothing leaves your network unless you use the board search, the cloud link or the online bridge, and board secrets are never stored.

    How it works

  • Games

    X01 from 101 to 1001 with the checkout route after every dart, Cricket, Cut-Throat Cricket, Tactics and Wild Mouse, and six party games for up to eight, alone or as a match of up to four with legs, sets, teams and handicaps.

    Games and rules

  • Training

    Training sessions that start with the first dart, eight training games from Around the Clock to the JDC Challenge, a daily goal, a training streak and personal bests.

    Training games

  • Scoreboard and cards

    A scoreboard for a tablet or TV, readable from the oche, with a new game screen, a caller and idle mode. Seven dashboard cards and an automatic dashboard, in English, German, Dutch, French and Spanish.

    Scoreboard at the board · Dashboard cards

  • Statistics with heatmaps

    3-dart average, first 9 average, checkout and doubles rate, a heatmap of every bed or of the real dart positions, and where each player scores the most per dart. Player profiles with badges, weekly trends, a leaderboard, a weekly report and a training calendar.

    Statistics and players

  • Automations and blueprints

    Board events for every dart, visit, takeout, bust, won leg and match. Twelve blueprints: light show, dart and practice callers, highlight photos, reports, alerts and routines.

    Automations

  • Tournaments and a bot

    Tournaments of three to eight players, as a round robin with a table or a knockout with a bracket, and a bot from level 20 to 120 to play X01 and Cricket against.

    Tournaments · The bot

  • Voice

    Say "Start 501 for Alex and Sam" to Assist, in English, German, Spanish, French or Dutch, and the game starts; then "Alex has 140" or "Triple 20" enters the darts, as at a dart machine. Any game also starts with one action of an automation.

Any board hardware that runs the Autodarts Board Manager works, because the integration talks to the Board Manager, not to the cameras. Rows reported by a player were tested by a player on their own board, not by the project.

Since September 2026, the Autodarts documentation describes the Board Manager as the browser interface of Autodarts 0.x that is not supported from version 2 on. The local interface on port 3180 that the integration uses still answers on Autodarts 2.0.2. If an update changes it, the integration shows a repair notice instead of failing silently (see troubleshooting). If your setup is not in the table, a compatibility report helps, even when everything works.

Languages

The integration speaks English, German, Dutch, French and Spanish: setup, options, entities and their states, actions, messages and repairs, the cards with their editors and the caller of the scoreboard. It follows the language of Home Assistant; a regional variant such as de-CH or es-419 counts as its language. Other languages see English.

  • Home Assistant names the entities in the language of the server (Settings → System → General); states and cards follow the language of your user profile.
  • The caller speaks the card's language with a voice of your browser or tablet for that language.
  • The documentation is in English and German, the blueprints in English because Home Assistant does not translate blueprints. The voice blueprints understand sentences in all five languages, and Assist answers in the language of Home Assistant.

Texts that are missing in a language, or older than their English original, are listed in that language's translation issue, which a bot keeps up to date. It explains how to fix them right on GitHub, without programming. To improve a translation or add a language, see translations in CONTRIBUTING.md.
