FAQs
Do I need the HACS Kiosk Mode integration?
No. The app works without it. HACS Kiosk Mode is optional and recommended for a better kiosk experience, since it hides headers and can reduce accidental navigation. You can enable “Append ?kiosk (HACS Kiosk Mode)” in the app settings if you have the integration installed.
Can I use Nabu Casa or only a local URL to connect?
Both are supported. You can use a local Home Assistant URL (e.g. http://192.168.1.90:8123) or a Nabu Casa remote address (e.g. https://xxxx.ui.nabu.casa). During setup, choose “Nabu Casa” or “Home Assistant URL” and enter your connection details.
What’s the difference between the free and Pro version?
The free version includes a single dashboard, gradient idle screen, basic link policy (Current Dashboard only), and core features like re-authentication and PIN protection. Pro adds multiple dashboards with a tab bar, fade to black, custom background and logo, periodic refresh, link policies (Connection, All, None), dashboard zoom (10–200%), import/export via QR, HA Events for automations, and App Intents for Shortcuts. See the full comparison in the app’s Pro Features section.
