"Locked-down" app for a kid?

Hi! There’s a kid who would love to toggle lamps and adjust colours from his iPhone. Is there any way of giving him access through some app, without any risk of him messing up our configuration?

I’ve only used the Android app, but it seems that even if I make him a dashboard, it would always be possible for him to e.g. change an automation or some other setting.

Only give access to what you want

I don’t think non-admins can modify automations or settings, but any entity in the system can be read/modified if you’re determined enough.

Are you already using the HA HomeKit Bridge? If not, expose a couple of entities that way. It will also immediately give voice control and fast access since it’s so tightly integrated with iOS.

Thank you, I’ll check out non-admin users and the homekit bridge!
