Kiosk mode locks the Homey app to a single dashboard, so others can control devices without changing your setup. Use it on wall-mounted tablets or shared devices.
Kiosk mode requires a Homey account password. If you signed up using Google or Apple, you may not have one yet. Learn how to set a password.
1. Navigate to Dashboards
To enter kiosk mode, open the Homey app. On tablets, tap Dashboards in the tab bar. On phones, go to More (…) → Dashboards.
Press and hold the dashboard you want to use, then tap Start Kiosk Mode.
2. Authenticate when prompted
When prompted, confirm you want to start kiosk mode. You’ll then be asked to verify your identity using your Homey account password.
Once activated, your device will switch to full-screen mode, hiding the system UI and limiting the app to a single dashboard.
Kiosk mode does not stop someone from leaving the app. To lock the device to the Homey app, use Guided Access on iOS or App pinning on Android.
Exiting kiosk mode
To exit kiosk mode, tap the close button (×) in the upper-right corner, then authenticate using your Homey account password.
