This isn't a Home Assistant dashboard baked into your wall — it's a real light switch with a 4-inch Android screen bolted on, and you build the kiosk view yourself with Browser Mod and a restricted user. Do that, though, and you get a genuinely local relay switch plus a proper little control panel for one room, no cloud, no subscription. Just don't expect it to happily run a busy dashboard full of camera feeds — the quad-core chip isn't built for that.

ControlTypeWhat it does
Relay switchSwitchThe onboard 5A/240V relay, controlling whatever light or appliance circuit is wired to it
Display media playerMedia player (firmware 2.2+)Volume/mute control for the panel's built-in speaker
Dashboard kiosk viewDevice-side browser setting, not an HA entityPoint the panel at your HA instance URL to full-screen your existing dashboard — configured on the device, not created by the integration

The shelly integration adds the relay as a local switch entity over RPC (HTTP/WebSocket) — no cloud round trip. To use it as a dashboard rather than just a switch, you separately create a restricted-permissions HA user, install Browser Mod (register it with the panel's browser first), then Kiosk Mode for that user — doing that in the wrong order breaks popup registration on the panel. A useful automation: use the panel's onboard proximity sensor (exposed as a regular sensor entity) to auto-wake the display and switch its dashboard to a 'someone's home' view when presence is detected nearby.
