Using a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 7" touchscreen display makes a perfect self-housed kiosk for HA. Unfortunately, HAOS has no support for this. I was able to get it working with Core, but Add-ons, etc is very limited. So I installed Supervised mode, adding over-complexity to what should be a simple install.
All that is needed is an Add-On that can install a container with a Chromium browser that self-boots to display the dashboard.
I have a couple of these. I just do the Raspberry Pi OS install and use the browser, run HA elsewhere.

The idea is to make HA run on a Raspberry PI w/touchscreen to mimic a Google Nest or Amazon Alexa. – all in one unit.
Hi. I installed the Glances add on and are able to show a dashboard using a docker cli.
But to show it, I need to connect a keyboard to the RPi, enter a command line and execute the docker command in interactive mode…
Not very practical, but works to at least have some info about the RPi “technical status” status.
It’s a pity that it’s not even possible to autorun a command on HAOS right after system startup.
