## TouchHub setup
Run these steps in order to display the NestQuest panel on a TouchHub
wall device. The panel is an HA Lovelace dashboard, so the kiosk browser
is simply a Home Assistant client.
1. **Create a dedicated kiosk user.** In *Settings → People → Users*, add
a new user for the wall device. Make it **non-admin**, and ensure it is
not in the NestQuest admin allowlist. The allowlist blocks the NestQuest
**admin** operations — `uncomplete_quest`, `create_quest_definition`,
`update_quest_definition`, `set_quest_definition_active`,
`set_presence_pattern`, `create_presence_override`,
`delete_presence_override`, `export_history_csv`, and `manage_child`
(plus `regenerate` flows) — it does not make the account view-only. The
kiosk user *can* call `nestquest.complete_quest`, the one open NestQuest
service, to complete quests from the panel, and as a non-admin Home
Assistant user it may also reach other permitted Home Assistant entities
and services.
2. **Build a dashboard with only the NestQuest panel cards.** Create a
Lovelace dashboard whose **URL slug is `nestquest`** (Settings →
Dashboards → Edit → URL slug). A functional panel needs **two** views
in that dashboard, each with its own card config from
`design/ENTITIES-AND-SERVICES.md` §4. Give the views these exact URL
paths (the path segment after the dashboard slug):
- **View 1 path `board`** (URL `/nestquest/board`) — party board
(`type: custom:nestquest-party-board-card`): the household quest
board. Set `weather_entity` (optional; the dock falls back to
date/time), `quest_log_path: /nestquest/log` (the view the crest tap
navigates to), and `child_order: [slug1, slug2, slug3]` listing each
child's slug in display order.
- **View 2 path `log`** (URL `/nestquest/log`) — quest log
(`type: custom:nestquest-quest-log-card`): the per-child quest screen
the party board hops to. Set `board_path: /nestquest/board` (the
party-board view to return to), `weather_entity`,
`idle_return_seconds` (must be shorter than TouchHub Auto-Return),
`confirm_timeout_seconds`, and `complete_screen_seconds`. The quest
log reads the selected child's slug from the view's URL path, so the
board → log hop is a plain Lovelace navigation.
Each view's layout MUST be set to **Panel** (Edit Dashboard → pencil on the
view → View type: Panel). Home Assistant's default Masonry layout constrains
the 1080px-tall NestQuest card to a narrow column; Panel (single-card)
layout is what renders the card full-screen at 1920×1080.
The dashboard contains only the NestQuest panel card for each view —
no other cards, no admin controls.
The `quest_log_path` and `board_path` values must match the dashboard
slug and view paths above: `/<slug>/<view>`. If you chose `nestquest`
as the dashboard slug with view paths `board` and `log`, the card
configs are already correct. If you pick different names, substitute
your actual paths in **both** card configs — e.g. a dashboard slug
`chores` with view paths `main` and `history` needs
`quest_log_path: /chores/history` and `board_path: /chores/main`.
Navigation between the two views fails (the crest tap or back button
lands on a 404) if the card config paths do not match the dashboard
slug and view paths exactly.
See `design/ENTITIES-AND-SERVICES.md` §4 for the full card YAML.
3. **Point TouchHub at it.** In the TouchHub launcher, add the **Home
Assistant Lovelace** app to the dock and paste the dashboard URL from
step 2 — the party-board view URL, e.g. `/nestquest/board` (TouchHub
loads that URL directly as the kiosk landing page). Set TouchHub
**Auto-Return** to a value GREATER than the quest log's
`idle_return_seconds` (default 40s) — recommend **60s or higher**. If
Auto-Return is at or below 40s, TouchHub returns to its launcher before
the quest log's idle return can navigate back to the party board.
4. **Log the kiosk session in.** Sign in on the device as the dedicated
kiosk user from step 1, and leave that session logged in.
TouchHub loads the dashboard URL directly. The NestQuest cards are normal
Lovelace cards, not an iframe, so no Home Assistant framing setting is
needed.
## Developer Setup and Testing
This project uses [`uv`](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) for fast Python package and dependency management.
