I never asked for “Lights” or “Security” and many other boards in my sidebar. Even worse, they seem to be getting more. Home Assistant used to feel clean to me, now I get Facebook vibes and a touch of devs way overstepping.
I read the only absurd solution is per device hiding of useless unremoveable dashboards and yet find users for years now asking to remove crap-dashs for good.
I have only one user (admin) and webinterface and would never ever like to see this ugliness again. I think it is overbearing, intrusive and invasive as Home Assistant doesnt give choice anymore to the user.
How can i fully remove the dashboards Lights, Security, Climate and Energy?
i think the problem with the these generated dashboards is not just unglyness but also a problem of administration. Lets say you build the craziest automations for your lights but every normal user can simply activate the lights-dashboard and turn any light on and off without any automation triggering. I have an agreement with my wife, that she does not do this, but as an admin, the pure posibilty is absolut horror 🙈

Entities with the „visible“ attribute set to „off“ do not appear in any of the automatically populated dashboards.but do they still show up in mine own dashboards?
@AndLeoErd
Sure as you did add them manually.
Long-press (or long-click) on the “Home Assistant” title at the top of the sidebar. That brings up a dialog box in which you can hide the items you don’t want to see. (It’s available in user settings, too, but this is a shortcut.)
While we’re at it, can we please for the love of God disable the “Overview” board? Or at least stop resetting it as the default every other day? I swear I have to reset my default dashboard every day or two, because Home Assistant is determined to use the (fucking useless, and ugly as sin) Overview board instead.
I resorted to hiding everything on the default Overview board, so now it just displays the “it looks like you don’t have any devices configured” page instead. But I only did that because the auto-generated board has every single sensor from every single device. That’s not an overview, that’s a detailed view. My custom overview board only shows the high level stuff, presented in a neat and orderly way, so I can get a quick overview of my systems at a glance. You know, like an overview is supposed to do. But Home Assistant refuses to keep that custom board set as the default, and constantly reverts back to the automatic one instead.
Hell, I opened my Home Assistant app while typing this comment out, and discovered that the default dashboard had been reset again.
There is a lot of stuff in my sidebar that I don’t know how to get rid of.
Example from the forum: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/remove-energy-dashboard/910707/3
Yes, you can hide them. Nobody yet has an answer how to fully remove this ever growing bloat.
One of the answers in that thread mentions how to remove them by using a different configuration.yaml file, instead of the default_config. But you would have to manually add the other integrations that you do use so they show up, and any future ones as well, but that seems to remove them, not hide them.
You could definitely compile your own version of Home Assistant stripping those configurations from the codebase. Enjoy!
Why would you guys want to delete those configurations??? How would you expect to reinstall them in the case of wanting them back???
Would you like to uninstall ZHA too? Why not the entire WebUI? Yeah!! Let’s get rid of all the bloat!!
I never use the letter Q, so I demand it being stripped out of all keyboards!! BLOAT!!
Do you guys even think twice about the things you like getting angry about??
This is so weird. I have no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t have a single auto-generated dashboard in my sidebar. Can anyone enlighten me?
Edit: I followed the link in the suggested fix and it appears they were already hidden. I see the extra ones you were talking about. Curious why they showed up automatically for you but were hidden for me.
good for you. :-)
