How to make sidebar categories permanently disappear

Hi,

I’m wondering if I can make the categories Energy, Map, Media and such permanently disappear from the sidebar.

Now if I hide them from the profile settings, they just reappear when I log in the next day.

It seems the setting is stored in some cookie that gets cleared?

Is there a way to get rid of them permanently?

Finger hold/mouse hold on Home Assistant in the left upper corner and x the unwanted entries.

That is what I did. But they reappear when I close browser and login again.

Instead of using default_config in your configuration.yaml, list the integrations you need and drop energy:, map:, media:

Here’s mine as an example:


automation: !include automations.yaml
config:
counter:
dhcp:
discovery:
frontend:
  themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes
#group: !include groups.yaml
#history:
image:
input_boolean:
input_button:
input_datetime:
input_number:
input_select:
input_text:
logbook:
#map:
media_source:
#mobile_app:
my:
person:
scene: !include scenes.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
ssdp: # Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP)
stream:
sun:
system_health:
tag:
timer:
usb:
#webhook:
zone:
zeroconf:

If you have your browser history set to delete on close that will happen. The customisations are stored per browser. Which is annoying. It really needs a system setting.

Thanks all! I’ll try fiddling with the config.

I agree it is annoying, I did expect it is a system setting.

Maybe someone needs it to be a cookie setting for different browsers / tablets / whatnot. But I would think most expect it to be a user specific setting that is system wide.

When disabling cloud, the netatmo integration started giving an error. It seems to be dependent on cloud, although the description for cloud led me to believe it is only for Home Assistant Cloud. So be careful when disabling these.

I use Custom Sidebar V2 to hide for all users.
