DashPad Kiosk

A full-screen dashboard for your smart home that wakes when you walk up and rests when the room is empty. Presence detection that runs entirely on your iPad.

Turn your iPad into a smart home dashboard. Open DashPad and walk away. It shows your dashboard full screen, wakes when you walk up, and rests when the room is empty. Put it on the wall, a stand, or a shelf.

Built with Home Assistant in mind, it works with any website. Point it at any URL and it fills the screen: no address bar, no buttons, nothing to escape into.

PRESENCE, DONE PRIVATELY

The front camera notices when someone is in the room. Every few seconds it wakes for a moment, checks a single frame on the device, then turns off. That frame is analyzed in memory and discarded at once. No video, no recording, nothing is ever saved or sent. When the room is dark, it skips the camera entirely. Prefer no camera? Switch to a fixed schedule, or keep the dashboard always on.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party SDKs. The app makes no network requests of its own, and your settings stay on the device. The full source is public, so every privacy claim can be verified.

SET IT AND FORGET IT

Full-screen kiosk browser that auto-reloads if the connection drops. Idle screen of your choice: a clock, a black screen, or any page as a screensaver. Separate brightness for active and idle. Optional PIN and one-tap Guided Access lock. Save favorite dashboards and switch with a swipe.
