 ##### Example dashboards
 
+Grafana allows you to build functional dashboards with relative ease. They maintain an excellent library [here](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/).

 ### Home Automation
-#### Hassio
+
+#### HAOS
+
+Home Assistant Operating System is one of the easiest way to get a very flexible home automation system up and running.
+Installing it on Proxmox is fairly simple:
+
+ * Download the latest version of of their KVM/Proxmox image from [here](https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/alternative) to one of your PVE nodes or Gluster filesystems
+ * Unarchive the file
+ * Create a new VM in the Proxmox GUI (top right)
+ * Enter a name (e.g., homeassistant)
+ * Under the OS tab, select "Do not use any media"
+ * Under the System tab, select q35 as Machine, change the BIOS to OVMF (UEFI), and then select the storage (e.g., gluster)
+ * On the following screens adjust the default values as you see fit
+   * Don't know what to select? 2 cores of CPU and 2 GB of memory can be a good starting point
+ * Ensure that the VM is initialized but stopped
+ * Login to one of your PVE nodes and import the Proxmox image:
+```bash
+qm importdisk <vm_id_of_new_vm> </path/to/downloaded/image> <target_storage> --format qcow2
+```
+ * Here is an example: `qm importdisk 301 /root/haos_ova-7.1.qcow2 gluster_ssd0 --format qcow2`
+ * Go back to your Proxmox GUI, delete the originally created disk from the VM (detach and remove)
+ * Double click your newly added Unused disk, adjust its size to at least 32 GB 
+ * Go to Options and make sure that the new disk is the first in the boot order
