Quick Access to Home Assistant with Home Assistant Chrome Extension
Home Assistant is an unofficial Chrome extension that provides users with a quick shortcut to access their Home Assistant dashboard from anywhere. This free extension is developed by bbbbbokk and falls under the category of Browsers with a subcategory of Add-ons & Tools.
The setup process is simple and straightforward. Users need to create a new view in their Lovelace dashboard and add the desired cards they want to see in the extension. They have the option to activate the "panel mode" for a better look if they only have one card. Additionally, users can choose a specific theme to match their browser color scheme and completely hide the view if they don't want it to appear in their existing dashboard.
Once the setup is complete, users can install and pin the Home Assistant extension in Chrome to ensure it is always visible. By right-clicking the extension icon and selecting "Configure," users can set the URL of their view, adjust the width and height for optimal display, and choose to crop the upper part of the view to hide the page header.
With Home Assistant Chrome Extension, users can conveniently access their Home Assistant dashboard without navigating through multiple tabs or windows, making it a valuable tool for Home Assistant users.
