View Profiles
View Profiles let you save a complete visualization state, including:
- Camera angle
- Active heatmap layers
- Dashboard overlays
- Floors shown
- Visual style settings
View Profiles are the primary way to create reusable views for daily use and for embedding in Home Assistant.
Creating a View Profile
Open the View Profiles tab in the left sidebar (Designer Mode), then click + Add.
A View Profile includes five configuration sections:
Profile
Set the view name.
General
Controls what appears in the view:
- Active Heatmap Layer
- Overlay Dashboard
- Display unit (metric / imperial)
- Color theme
Camera & Navigation
Captures:
- Current camera angle
- Location position
- Pan/zoom/orbit state
This uses the exact view from the central 3D stage when saved.

Using Your View Profile
After saving, your view becomes available in two places:
- On the Zircon3D main page, under the View Profiles section of your project
- As a URL that can be embedded into your Home Assistant dashboard for personal use
You can also display a saved View Profile inside a dashboard by adding a View Profile tile. See Displaying a Building View.
View Profiles are the recommended way to create polished, consistent, and reusable monitoring views - ideal for daily checking, quick access, and Home Assistant dashboard integration.
