I love Home assistant, but there’s one major thing IMO that’s missing and prevents me from really using it: user accounts. You can make accounts but they’re mostly pointless as they all have access to everything and you can’t restrict things.
A proper permissions system would be a big improvement for Home Assistant. It would be great to be able to set access rules per user and entity.
Unfortunately it’s a commonly request thing but it hasn’t gained much traction with the devs.
I have a feeling it’s because most are single, living alone, in a basement programming. This is a joke as it’s the only way I can rationalize it because if they had kids they would understand you don’t want your kids turning on your bedroom lights in the middle of the night.
I mostly use user accounts on locked devices that can only show the HA app with views specifically designed as such, which in turn limits the devices/entities viable to them.
Do you use Android devices? If so, what app do you use to lock the device to only HA?
It native in android, see this article.
Can’t you do that with admin users vs regular users? Pretty sure you can restrict dashboards by admin vs non-admin
Damn that climate entity dialog is sexy AF.
Yeah, the new tile designs have been mostly great so far.
There still isn’t quite the flexibility of Mushroom cards but it’s much improved the out of the box dashboard experience.
They hired the mushroom guy why hasn’t he just had mushroom added as default or include more features?
My Watchtower usually pulls images every Saturday morning, before I get up, so I can do controlled updates. I’m going to pull this one now and have a play.
I’m looking forward to trying template entity helpers.
Having to do them in YAML is frustrating to say the least…
I can finally add my Schlage lock!
