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?

    It looks like it’s the default dashboard setting. I think I tuned that off ages ago when it was first created.

    I can see though, especially if you’re newer to it and less comfortable with yaml due to all the UI improvements, that it’s a bit of an imposition to figure out why it’s happening and how to turn it off.

    The fact that they keep adding stuff without making it easy to turn off is one of those little things that irk me about Home Assistant.

      I know what you mean. Trying to get automations working in HA annoys me, I’m way more comfortable in Node Red. I find HA a good way to get the devices into the system and display data, then NodeRed to actually do my automations. So much more you can do in there.
