Home dashboard: enable/disable entities suggestion by pcan08 · Pull Request #51407 · home-assistant/frontend

pcan08 · 2026-04-04T08:38:46Z

Proposed change

Add the capability to enable/disable suggested/predicted entities that are next to the favorites entities. Inspired by #51392 like #51401

The goal is to not show these entities if the user does not want to see them without taking control of the dashboard, so that if the dashboard have update the user can have them.

I have reviewed two other open pull requests in this repository.

Add a toggle in the edit overview dialog to show or hide the "Welcome, [user]" greeting header on the home overview page, following the same pattern as the existing summary enable/disable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The welcome message is a greeting header, not a summary card, so it now lives in a separate "Greeting" section above the "Summaries" section. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Same comment as #51401 for the implementation, we should use ha-form component.
I added a needs UX because we want this feature but we should implement it the proper way. I know that @mbb365 already worked on a similar feature.

I propose to continue on this PR when #51401 is finished.

Add a toggle in the Overview edit dialog to show or hide the usage-predicted entities that fill remaining slots alongside favorites. When disabled, the usage prediction fetch is skipped entirely. The favorites entities helper text is updated to no longer reference suggestions, which now have their own dedicated toggle and description. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Replace the raw <p class="section-description"> with ha-input-helper-text for the suggested entities toggle description, using the proper HA component for helper text styling instead of custom CSS. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Aligns with the hidden_summaries naming convention used elsewhere. Logic is inverted accordingly: undefined means shown (default), true means hidden. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

How it looks with current state of #51401

pcan08 · 2026-04-09T09:24:31Z

Now that #51401 is merged, I merged dev into this PR, but I have some concerns: shall we keep welcome message switch between favorites picker and suggested entities switch ? maybe move welcome message switch above favorites picker is more appropriate

piitaya · 2026-04-09T09:59:02Z

I discussed that form with UX team yesterday.
Favorite entities and suggested must be grouped.

I guess we can group them using a expandable section (similar to background) :

Also, we discussed the option names : It's more "Include" than "Show" for the suggested entities, right? WDYT?

Drop unused schema parameter from computeLabel/computeHelper callbacks and shorten the label from "Show suggested entities" to "Suggested entities" since the boolean checkbox already conveys the enabled/disabled intent.

pcan08 · 2026-04-09T10:30:19Z

I'll give a try to expandable section, I am agree that we should group them.
For the wording, I can replace "show" by "include", but we could also remove it to be consistent with welcome message as I just did. what is your opinion about this ?

piitaya · 2026-04-09T11:49:32Z

Label: Suggested entities
Description : Include additional entities...

That may work.

Wrap ha-entities-picker and the suggested entities boolean in an outlined ha-expansion-panel with a star-outline icon. Move the welcome message toggle above the panel. Use "Favorite entities" as the panel header and remove the redundant picker label. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

pcan08 · 2026-04-09T12:44:50Z

Note that I use ha-expansion-panel instead of ha-form with expandable (this is how it is implemented for section background settings) as it is more simple and avoid refactor around entities picker which is not a ha-form.

Also note that there is no space between switch label and entities picker, this is due the helper text which is on 2 lines in ha-form. I guess this is a ha-form issue.

I think we should also group switches for summary cards in another PR.

Move inner padding from --expansion-panel-content-padding to a wrapper div, matching the ha-form-expandable pattern, so no content is visible when the panel is collapsed.
