Code here :)

I used to use Has Agent, now I have LNXlink, which had quick buttons for lock, log out, ctrl-F4 and alt-F4, and power controls. I also have media player functions for watching stuff and controlling from the couch. I tried to share yaml but I think it bypassed a comment limit

But sorry, did you mean the whole controls/sensors section?

Sorry, that would help wouldn’t it aha
In templatesensors.yaml:

  - switch:
      unique_id: pc_admin_controls
      name: Admin Controls
      icon: mdi:shield-crown-outline
      turn_on: []
      turn_off: []

I made it a while ago. I believe it could also be made in helpers UI now, in Settings > Devices and Services > Helpers > Create Helper > Toggle, and setting a name and icon, and saving. It’ll be input_boolean.switch_name and is functionally the same, as my conditional cards do the actions

For me I’ve experimented with restricted cards. For example, I have essentially a collapsed menu of controls for my PC, accessible only when a switch is toggled on, and the card with the switch is only visible to me.

    - type: conditional
      conditions:
        - condition: user
          users:
            - 9ecc550a1dc14e0a98071750a1673abc
      card:
        type: entities
        entities:
          - entity: switch.pc_admin_controls
            toggle: true
    - type: conditional
      conditions:
        - entity: switch.pc_admin_controls
          state_not: "off"
      card:
        type: grid
        columns: 4

(Ignore that I haven’t fixed the yellow warning entities yet lol)

Ty ty. I was thinking more of having dashboards restricted for other users, like child users, by the admin rather than the child. That’s a good idea, I see a few awesome all-in-one dashboards online

To conclude my other comment: I’ve decided to backup and downgrade to v2025.8.3 by entering the console and using:

core stop
login
rm /mnt/data/supervisor/homeassistant/home-assistant_v2.db
core update --version 2025.8.3

Having to delete the database meant losing sensor history but so many broken UI elements have been restored, and the dashboards and automation menus are back to being less cluttered.

I’m on 2025.12 and am considering rolling back to remove some features, mainly the added pointless dashboards. And I might be weird but I preferred when the automation page didn’t spoonfeed you and give a popup with every tap. And my gauge cards are broken. Basically I agree, don’t upgrade -_-

I think the restricted user dashboard thing was always screwed though, as some were specialised and didn’t have support for user visibility. “Here’s a wonderful home control system where we take away your control every few months”

You can follow uploaders, but since the mass removal of 85% of their videos I doubt the website has ever gotten better. I had a few favourites noted down but none of them exist now.

This, obviously laws are regional - fwiw in mine it’s only illegal to distribute, or as I understand it, the original person ripping the media is the one doing the act of pirating. What we do - download it - is not piracy. I don’t know what some folks’ law enforcement tells them but taking what’s already taken isn’t piracy.

They would likely bitch about many of us though, as we have been redistributing, in the form of seeding and/or sharing with family and friends.

Well, these aren’t real in my country. We have Individual, Student, Duo and Family

Ashton fucking Kutcher, huh. Wild timeline.

it can still function by connecting to nearby open networks, or perhaps even someone just walking by with a phone that it can piggyback off of.

I was worried some corporation would create a product that does this. The best option then would be to trash it.

Best thing to do is vote with your wallet - don’t buy Amazon e-commerce if you don’t support them. It’s worth noting that the vast majority of their value comes from AWS, but there’s little we can do about that.

It can’t phone home if it isn’t powered, that’s for sure.

You can always set up a PiHole or AdGuard Home instance and route traffic from the doorbell to keep an eye on it, and block any domains it tries to access that you don’t need. Or disable its WAN access entirely. Custom DNS settings in the router would be ideal, just set it to the IP of the instance, but as I’ve discovered some ISPs like to remove that setting as part of their enshittification.

Incroyable!

Pretty much every time I played Oblivion I’d spend a week in the tutorial cave, levelling Agility by using a turbo controller and rubber band, jumping in a corner where the ceiling height is just high enough so you can spam about 5 jumps per second. Later on you can do what you said near a goblin to max Sneak, but I think it’s quicker by that guy you need to kill for the Dark Brotherhood as he’s ill and perpetually sleeping
