Advice needed

So I have my HA running on my Rasberry Pi just fine, however I have a few Rasberry Pi Zero 2 W so thought it would be nice to set them up to use HA in other areas of my house.

I know the Zero 2 isn’t for running a HA itself however I was thinking of using them for a ‘companion’ style setup so they act like the app does on my iphone.

I just wondered if there is a companion app for the pi? If not what do you all suggest in order to get my zero2’s acting like companion devices.

Thank you all in advance.

So you want screens running on the pis that you can control HA with, am I understanding it correctly? From what I can read here https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/accessories/display.html the Zeros don’t have connectors for a screen.

To access ha you would just use an image that has a browser and type ip address of ha into the top. Raspian with desktop.

I was thinking of using FullPageOS so it runs like a Kiosk, just wasn’t sure if there was any other options.

Yea, its not a display I was looking for, it was to use the pi zero as an extention display option. Thanks anyway
