Setting Up a Default Dashboard in Home Assistant

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience in setting up a default dashboard in Home Assistant. I recently created a second dashboard for my daughter and faced some challenges in making it her default view. Here’s how I tackled it.Initially, I created the dashboard but didn’t want it to appear in my sidebar. However, my daughter couldn’t access it without it being visible. After some research, I discovered that while there isn’t a direct ‘default dashboard’ setting, there’s a workaround using the ‘dashboards’ configuration in the configuration.yaml file.I added the following snippet to my configuration:yamldashboards: default_view: my_daughter_dashboardThis sets the specified dashboard as the default view upon login. To ensure my daughter only sees her dashboard, I configured user permissions to restrict her access to other dashboards.I also made sure to remove the dashboard from my sidebar by adjusting the dashboards settings under the ‘Configuration’ menu. This way, I maintain my preferred view while providing her with a seamless experience.This solution was a bit tricky to find, but it worked perfectly. It’s great to see how flexible Home Assistant is in customizing user experiences. I hope this helps someone else looking to set up a dedicated dashboard for a family member or specific use case! :tada:
