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?


On a new install specifically when you select the option to auto-generate a dashboard during setup.
To hide sidebar items in a browser you can click on the top left “Home Assistant” button or click on your username at the bottom left and select “Change the order and hide items from the sidebar” in User Settings.
