Opening a specific HA URL? about virtual-keys HOT 5 OPEN

Appreciate your comment.

In fact you can easily do that, I described that in the README file

To make this work, I need to make some additional steps (after installing Virtual Keys):

• create a new user in Home Assistant eg. "guest"
• create a new group eg. "guests" and add the user "guest" to it, and also the devices you want to give access to, eg "cover.front_gate", instructions here
• create a new View (tab) in the default Lovelace UI and add the entities you want to give access to, eg. "cover.front_gate", set the visibility to only show to user "guest".

install kiosk-mode and configure it set "kiosk" mode for user "guest"

This is how it looks in my case where I have setup a View (tab) with only those 2 entities for my guest user:

No special url but for this user the kiosk mode is on.

Thanks for the reply.

I think the solution you mentioned only works if I don't have the automatic Lovelace dashboard and can control the visibility of individual View (tabs). The thing is I want to keep the default auto updating lovelace, but in that scenario - after logging in, even from the guest account, HA sends the user to the default lovelace.

I though if I could direct them to /lovelace-guest/0 or any other page, instead of the default /lovelace/0 - that'd let me have more control.

Hence the suggestion :)

If the guest has access to /lovelace/0, even if you redirect them to /lovelace-guest/0, they can still manually navigate to /lovelace/0.

If you need some special redirect, you can fork this repo and change it. Here is where the redirect url is determined.
