Change label front end from 'Home assistant' to 'Office Assistant'

Good morning everyone. I make a request that may seem strange. It’s to possible change these parts of the front end from ‘Home assistant’ to ‘Office Assistant’?

That’s possible with browser_mod.

What do you need it for?

# The Browser Mod Configuration Panel

## This browser

The most important concept for Browser Mod is the _Browser_. A _Browser_ is identified by a unique `BrowserID` stored in the browsers [LocalStorage](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Storage_API).

Browser Mod will initially assigning a random `BrowserID` to each _Browser_ that connects, but you can change this if you want.

LocalStorage works basically like cookies in that the information is stored locally on your device. Unlike a cookie, though, the information is bound to a URL. Therefore you may get different `BrowserID`s in the same browser if you e.g. access Home Assistant through different URLs inside and outside of your LAN, or through Home Assistant Cloud.

### Register

Registering a _Browser_ as a device will create a Home Assistant Device associated with that browser. The device has the following entities:

- A `media_player` entitiy which will play sound and video through the browser.
- A `light` entity will turn the screen on or off and controll the brightness if you are using [Fully Kiosk Browser](https://www.fully-kiosk.com/) (FKB). If you are not using FKB the function will be simulated by covering the screen with a black (or semitransparent) box.
- A motion `binary_sensor` which reacts to mouse and/or keyboard activity in the Browser. In FKB this can also react to motion in front of the devices camera.
- A number of `sensor` and `binary_sensor` entities providing different bits of information about the Browser which you may or may not find useful.

Registering a browser also enables it to act as a target for Browser Mod _services_.

Thank you for your answer
I am using HA in the office where I work. ‘HOME’ was intended by my boss as an unprofessional platform. So I change the name and we are all happier.

Ah, I see! I would have had another suggestion, if you were looking for a method to differentiate two installations, eg. by favicon.

But if that’s all you need…

Are you sure that browser-mod can change THAT particular label, not a page’s title?

paddy0174 · July 31, 2024, 10:17pm

Pretty much, yes.

This changes the “Home Assistant” text that is displayed at the top of the sidebar.

Ok, not using browser-mod and that is why asking.
Another way (probably much lighter)is using card-mod-theme.

paddy0174 · July 31, 2024, 10:32pm

I unfortunately can’t show a screenshot, because for some unknown reason my browser_mod configuration panel is gone bad - it doesn’t react at all!

I’ll try to repair this, and than post a screenshot!

Here you go @Ildar_Gabdullin

I am convinced now))))

The change of label was a success of approval. Will you change the login label?
