Try kiosk-mode which you can install via HACS or manually.

[Updated to link to newer fork per @d_sellers1 suggestion.]

Hi guys as you can see, kiosk mode is not being developed anymore.
Have a look at: GitHub - thomasloven/hass-browser_mod: 🔹 A Home Assistant integration to turn your browser into a controllable entity and media player

EDIT: browser_mod has more interesting features, I would advise to just dig into it!

@mattf: can you please mark the answer that solved this for you as the solution?
That way this topic has more value for fellow HA-users who search for the same thing + no time/energy is wasted by others trying to help you.

set it per user

kiosk_mode:
admin_settings:
hide_header: false
hide_sidebar: false
non_admin_settings:
hide_header: true
hide_sidebar: true
ignore_entity_settings: false

Using a browser everything is fine. But Search and Assistant still are visible in the companion app. Is it possible to hide these in companion app also?

13

There is a newer fork of kiosk-mode available that is frequently updated and has more features by @NemesisRE.
kiosk-mode

@gantim This fork can hide the Search and Assist buttons.

The previous version was able to hide these elements already in the browser, but not in the companion app. Are you sure that this capability was added?

But I am not trying to give my children this access anymore, at least for the moment. It is not helpful if they always need to configure their lighting using the mobile, they currently are not allowed to use it during sleep time. Which is when such configuration could be more helpful than at other times.

Link updated per your request.

Did this get answered i hid mine but want to make changes to dashboard now and cant,as editor is hidden

A bit late for a response, but letting this here in case that somebody comes asking the same. You just need to read the Important Info in the repository:

  • If you need to disable Kiosk-Mode temporarily add ?disable_km to the end of your URL.

where does someone do this? still new to HA

@gatsntatsdad To do this you need to install HACS first and from there you can install the kiosk-mode integration
