WTH Make it possible to show the current hostname above the side panel

Month of "What the heck?!"

I manage several HA instances, both local and remote.

It would be very helpful if the prominent ‘Home Assistant’ field above the side panel would display something else, e.g. the hostname.

I am already aware that I am looking at a Home Assistant dashboard, but not which instance.
Currently I have to check the URL in the address bar to find out.

This would be nice, setting my own name and it show in the title / sidebar. Maybe even a color for the favicon

Until it is possible without custom integrations, this can do what you want and much more:

Thanks for the link.

I am not unhappy with the current side panel’s possibilities, so I’ll wait a bit and hope for an easier solution before I dig into the (flexible) HACS solution.

I’ve been using GitHub - thomasloven/hass-favicon: 🔹 Change the favicon of your Home Assistant instance via HACS to modify the favicon and the sidebar name.
