v1.1.0 - User-Configurable Dashboard Filtering

What's Changed

🎉 New Feature: User-Configurable Dashboard Ignore List

Instead of hardcoded assumptions about which panels to monitor, you now have complete control!

How It Works:

1. The integration discovers ALL dashboards and panels on your system
2. Each item is labeled with its type: (Lovelace), (Add-on), (Panel), (Settings), (Admin Tool)
3. In the configuration UI, select which ones you want to ignore from monitoring
4. Everything else will be monitored for guest access

Example:

If you have 19 total items but only want to monitor your actual dashboards, simply select these to ignore:

• ✅ ESPHome Builder (Add-on)
• ✅ File editor (Add-on)
• ✅ Studio Code Server (Add-on)
• ✅ Configuration (Settings)
• ✅ Developer Tools (Admin Tool)
• ✅ HACS (Add-on)
• ✅ etc.

Technical Changes

• Added: CONF_IGNORED_DASHBOARDS configuration option
• Removed: Hardcoded panel filtering logic
• Changed: All panels are now discovered (no filtering by component name)
• Added: Panel type labels in configuration UI
• Improved: User has full control over what gets monitored

Migration Notes

⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: After updating to v1.1.0, you may see more dashboards detected than before (including add-ons and admin panels).

Action Required:

1. Go to Settings → Devices & Services → Guest Dashboard Guard → Configure
2. Select "Dashboards/Panels to Ignore"
3. Choose which items you don't want monitored (e.g., add-ons, admin tools)
4. Save

The integration will now only monitor items you haven't ignored.

Installation

Update via HACS or download manually from this release.

v1.0.8 - Filter Add-on Panels

What's Changed

Dashboard Filtering Improvements

• Fixed: Excludes add-on panels (ESPHome Builder, File editor, Studio Code Server, etc.) from dashboard monitoring
• Fixed: Removes duplicate dashboard entries
• Added: Whitelist system for dashboard components (lovelace, energy, todo, frontend, calendar)
• Improved: Better debug logging shows why panels are being included or skipped

Technical Changes

• Added component_name filtering to distinguish dashboards from admin tools
• Implemented deduplication logic based on url_path
• Skip panels with ha_addon_* component names
• Enhanced logging for troubleshooting panel detection

Why This Update?

Version 1.0.7 was detecting too many items as "dashboards", including:

• Add-on management panels
• Configuration tools
• File editors
• Other admin interfaces

This update ensures only actual user-facing dashboards are monitored.

Installation

Update via HACS or download manually from this release.

Expected Dashboard Count

After updating to v1.0.8, you should see approximately 9-13 dashboards (not 17-19), including:

• Your custom Lovelace dashboards
• Built-in topic dashboards (Energy, Home, Lights, Climate, Security)
• Overview/default dashboard
• Calendar dashboard

Admin tools and add-ons will no longer be counted.

v1.0.7 - Complete Dashboard Detection

What's Changed

Dashboard Detection Improvements

• Fixed: Now detects ALL dashboard types including built-in frontend panels
• Added: Support for Energy, Todo, Home, Lights, Climate, Security dashboards
• Fixed: Uses proper LOVELACE_DATA and DATA_PANELS constants for accurate enumeration
• Improved: Better debug logging to troubleshoot dashboard detection issues

Technical Changes

• Switch to using homeassistant.components.lovelace.const.LOVELACE_DATA
• Added homeassistant.components.frontend.DATA_PANELS for frontend panel detection
• Skip admin-only panels from guest access violation checks
• Enhanced compatibility with Home Assistant 2025-2026 versions

Installation

Update via HACS or download manually from this release.

Upgrade Notes

After updating to v1.0.7, you should see all your dashboards being monitored, including:

• User-created dashboards (storage/YAML mode)
• Built-in topic dashboards (Energy, Home, Lights, Climate, Security, etc.)
• Frontend panels that act as dashboards

Check the integration logs for "Detected X dashboard(s)" to confirm all dashboards are found.
