great, I’m guessing use case would be something like a wall-mounted or otherwise room-specific tablet.

does this use a service call in HA?

I wonder if it could be used to show different tabs on the same device given different scenarios (the default homepage I want to see when checking in from work is different from when I’m sitting in the living room)

This uses localStorage.defaultPage that is used to navigate to when hitting / in a new session.
Keep in mind that localStorage is cleared at logout so setting a homepage and logging out will delete that setting.

I may be missing something.

I set it up like the example and picked /mobile, but the same UI shows up. How do I configure a different homepage in Lovelace?

I want to set it up for my wife to have a simplified UI page.

Is this set as “module” or “js” for the config UI’s resource section?

I think, nowadays, it’s better to use Compact Custom Header (CCH)

Hi, sorry for necroposting but I noticed that this component is now archived and no longer in HACS.

But I found this error in my log:

Logger: hacs
Source: custom_components/hacs/http.py:76
First occurred: 24 maggio 2020, 21:16:04 (7 occurrences)
Last logged: 24 maggio 2020, 23:41:30

Tried to serve up ‘/config/www/community/home-setter/home-setter.js’ but it does not exist

Can someone please help me to fix it?

we need this back now that CH is gone, I haven’t found another way to set default pages for users when in yaml mode… anyone know?
