It seems that the 2025.12 release may have solved setting a default dashboard for all users while allowing users to override their own dashboard. This is great, but seems to have one major flaw. What if you now want a specific dashboard based on the device you’re on? That option is now gone. I like to have my overview dashboard when I’m on my PC, but leverage my mobile dashboard on my companion app; same user account!
If I set the default dashboard to Overview (or use Auto), and then try to change the dashboard on my mobile device to use the mobile dashboard, it also changes it when viewing from my PC. Very annoying!!
We need a way to set a default dashboard based on a specific device (as override option in the user’s profile) as well as an administrative option to set a default dashboard for each user (e.g. tablet users).
I am convinced this is a bug. The developers are not stupid enough to remove this feature we all use for dedicated HA dashboard devices. Obviously it would be absurd to have a separate user for every single device that needs its own dashboard. I am the only person who uses home assistant, thus, there should only be one user.
The default dashboard for this device option used to be there. Probably lost by oversight and will be fixed
Well what ever the case, I can tell you that it’s becoming beyond frustrating!!
This option used to say ‘Pick a default dashboard for this device’. Removing this seems to defeat the purpose of creating multiple dashboards!
