Kiosk Mode in Home Assistant - How To - The Right Way!

  • Kiosk mode in Home Assistant is useful if you want to run Home Assistant on a tablet on the wall. It is also useful if you only want to give certain people in the house access to one dashboard and you want to hide the top and side menus. In this tutorial, I will show you how to set up kiosk mode in Home Assistant and how you can quickly switch between kiosk mode and normal mode yourself by means of shielded buttons on your dashboard. Let’s get started right away!
    Note:
    I use Mushroom cards and the Navigate tap action to navigate between different tabs. If you use kiosk: true, the tabs are not shown anymore. If you'd like your tablet to still show the tabs in a dashboard, then you can use hide_header: false and hide_sidebar: true instead of kiosk: true.

      2. how to implement such a scenario: restart android-> user enters phone PIN -> after logging into the phone should start HA kiosk and no more
      3. once we have the Kiosk mode fired up, how can we control the screen blanking? I mean, in HA we have some entities indicating the presence of the user in the house - and only then I want to display the screen, if the user is not at home - blank the screen.

    Thanks for the pointers on how to set user access with Kiosk Mode, though you did miss configuring the dashboard resources, also a full HA restart is required to install the front end integrations.
