Hi guys…
Anyone here using wall mounted iPad with home assistant companion app.
Is there a way to show dashboard without menu and header?
I checked out Kiosk mode on HACS but that is just for web browser if I understand it right. I would be stuck with browsers search bar etc…
What is the best solution today? I did go thru app menu on the iPad but I don’t see any option for kiosk mode.
Your best bet for a wall-mounted iPad is Kiosker Pro. I’ve tried all kiosk apps, including the HA companion app, and Kiosker Pro is by far the most versatile and reliable. You can show/hide any component for a real full-screen experience.
This looks good but I really hate a subscription model on this. One time fee like fully Kiosk would be much better.
There is gotta be cheaper way to do it… I don’t mind a little bit of work to get it done different way.
I can enable guided mode on iPad so it really comes down to disabling menu, side bar and header for companion app if that is possible.
Sure you can. In app settings - you can get there at start when you see gear icon at bottom right for a short time, or in HA settings - phone app settings. Then open general settings and enable full screen there. This will hide top line with battery etc. In HA set side menu to autohide.
Then you can additionally hide all kinds of stuff with kiosk addon from hacs.
Pavel,
I figured it out after all. For some reason changes from Kiosk mode would not show up in companion app so I thought it was for web browser only.
It’s all good now. Sometimes newbies need a little hint. Thank you!
