Companion app "settings" menu ONLY

[cedricdelecole]

Hi there,

I am looking for a way (I think this is not existing) to show, on the mobile device Companion app, the "Settings" menu ONLY.
I am explaining .... I have the companion app installed on the mobile device of my childs ... I want them to see ONLY the settings of the companion app, without all the other menu items (HACS, the dashboards, Studio code server, etc etc ...)
I know for the dashboards, you can limit the visibility to specific users, but remains all the menu options available which I do not want them to see.

I am only using the companion app for tracking purpose, nothing else.

Many thanks !

This options doesn't exist in the app, what you can do it to hide all sidebar items manually, but the user can still unhide if they want.

Open sidebar >> press and hold home assistant >> hide the items you want.

Another workaround is to use https://github.com/NemesisRE/kiosk-mode

Thanks a lot, I found this option of being able to hide the items separately in the app directly, that is fine with me.
P.S. I also have kiosk mode, but with that you can not show the "Settings" item ONLY on the left sidebar If I am correct, so not ok for me.

Many Thanks !

You can still access settings (if you mean companion app settings) by swiping up using 3 fingers

Mmm no ... it only presents the server, but not the other options, sensors, etc ...

Not even if you tap the gear icon?

[cedricdelecole]

No ... the gear icon is not 1lways appearing, and when appearing sometimes you click on it but nothing happens
