What's New in Kiosk Satellite 2026.9.28
This release lets you remove kiosk menu entries you never use, keeps grouped Sonos rooms at the balance you set and evens out the horizontal Now Playing layout.
New Feature: Kiosk menu entries you can leave out
- Show in the Kiosk Menu toggles: Two new Show in the kiosk menu toggles, both on by default, decide whether the HA Kiosk Mode and Start Screensaver entries appear in the kiosk menu. The first sits under Home Assistant > User Interface, after Hide the sidebar, and the second under Screensaver, after Pixel shift. Turning one off drops its entry from both the full menu and the quick actions menu, so a small screen keeps the entries it actually uses above the fold.
Fixed
- Sonos group volume keeps the rooms' current balance: Moving the Now Playing slider for a grouped Sonos room scaled the rooms by the balance they had at the last group write, not the one they have now, so a room adjusted on its own in the Sonos app snapped back to the old ratio on the next kiosk move. The kiosk now takes a fresh snapshot of the rooms before every group write, the way the Sonos app does when its group slider is picked up.
- Horizontal Now Playing sits evenly on the screen: The artwork and track controls were pushed down by extra space reserved above them, even when the speaker pill was hidden. Centered content now has equal top and bottom spacing, with extra room for the speaker pill or close button only while they are visible. Queue and lyrics controls remain near the bottom of the right half.
