I've been fighting with how awful my dashboards are on various wall mount tablets I've tested. I finally picked up an Android 14 PoE tablet, and no matter what I did the user experience was garbage.
I didn't build this and I think it's mostly vibe coded, but holy shit:
https://github.com/GabrielGoldsteinAnidea/HA-Websocket-Stripper
Dashboard load times for my regular non-tablet view that has around 130 entities on it when using Fully Kiosk
- Native - 32s
- Stripped - 9s
It deploys as an app/Add-On and exposes HA on a new port that limits what entity updates are send to the device. My HA instance has ~22k entities, but I only need around 200 for my dashboards - Other option was to setup a remote HA instance and feed my tablet dashboard off that, but that would require manually specifying entities to forward over and this does it automatically by scraping your dashboards.
Totally night and day improvement.
