Kiosk Auto Reload is a HACS dashboard resource for Home Assistant that improves running Lovelace dashboards on dedicated displays: it can reload the browser when dashboard configuration changes, hide chrome for a simple kiosk look, and expose hooks for automations.

Highlights

  • Auto-reload — Dashboards opened with a auto_reload query parameter listen for HA config-change events and reload after a short delay (or immediately with auto_reload=immediate).
  • Kiosk chrome — Optional auto_hide_nav to hide sidebar and header for simple kiosk layouts.
  • Manual reload — Fire a browser_reload_requested event with a matching browser_id to reload a specific dashboard instance; optional visibility toggles via component_visibility_change_requested.
  • Distribution — Install via HACS (Dashboard repository) or manual resource install from releases.
