## Description

HomeBoard is a compact ESPHome-powered board featuring a **2×8 NeoPixel array** paired with a **16-button matrix**. It’s designed as a versatile input and feedback module for Home Assistant monitoring, alert systems, and custom control panels. The LEDs aren’t for room lighting, but they’re perfect for **status indicators, alerts, and visual feedback**.  

I wanted a small, reliable board that could act as both a **control surface and a feedback display** in my own smart home. Off-the-shelf button boards lacked integrated visual cues, and LED strips were overkill for simple alerts. By combining both into one ESPHome-ready module, I could prototype and deploy quickly without extra wiring or glue logic.  

### Why is it awesome?
- **Seamless ESPHome integration:** no custom firmware needed, just drop it into your YAML.  
- **Flexible use cases:** from smart home dashboards to notification panels, appliance control, or even DIY MIDI‑style controllers.  
- **Feedback built‑in:** every button press can be paired with a visual response, making interactions intuitive.
- **Maker‑friendly** — open design, documented pinout, and straightforward ESPHome configuration.
