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"
Regarding the dashboards: I don't remember how to do it with the web view, but on mobile you can tap and hold the "Home Assistant" header in the sidebar and you can hide all dashboards you don't want.
I created a single custom dashboard and set it as the only visible one. It doesn't get touched by any update so far, even 2016.1
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
