What's new in Kiosk Satellite 2026.8.85
New: The log says who changed a setting
- When a setting is changed by something other than the device itself, the log line now names the caller:
set screensaver.enabled = false via esphomesays the write came from the kiosk's ESPHome entity in Home Assistant, and likewisevia mqtt,via remote adminandvia import. A setting that keeps flipping, say the Screensaver switch going off during every voice interaction, can now be traced to the automation behind it rather than guessed from the lines around it. Writes made on the device's own settings pages are logged as before, with no suffix. - An entity command arriving over ESPHome is logged as such too (
command screensaver = false), the way MQTT commands always were, so the command and the setting it changed sit next to each other in the log.
New: Visit link on the ESPHome device page
- The kiosk's ESPHome device page in Home Assistant carries a Visit link to the remote admin page while remote management is on with a password set, the way it does for an ESPHome node with its web server on. The kiosk reports the remote admin port as the device's web server port, which Home Assistant turns into the link on the address it reaches the kiosk at. Switching remote management on or off, or changing its port, reconnects so the link follows; a password change on its own does not.
Improvements
- The drawer menu's entries are set a point smaller, their icons a step smaller with them, and a faint rule runs between them, so the list scans as rows rather than as one block of text. The rule sits over every entry but the first of its group; the full divider before Log out stays as it was.
