Add a toggle in the edit overview dialog to show or hide the "Welcome, [user]" greeting header on the home overview page, following the same pattern as the existing summary enable/disable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The welcome message is a greeting header, not a summary card, so it now lives in a separate "Greeting" section above the "Summaries" section. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

I think it make sense to have this customization 👍 I let some review comment for a proper implementation.

Also, we should think about the naming of this parameter. Should it be hide_welcome_message or show_welcome_message?

Replace manual label/ha-switch markup with ha-form using a boolean selector for better accessibility and consistency with the rest of the codebase. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

I'd propose a different approach. Since this is an onboarding/tip UI pattern, there could be more of them in the future in other places of HA. Showing a toggle to toggle it in every space that it can be shown I think it's a bit much.
My proposal would be to add a setting to the User preferences -> Reset onboarding tips that would show all tips that have been dismissed.

piitaya · 2026-04-08T12:05:42Z

In that case, it's not a tip, it's the "welcome user" message at the top. It's not related to onboarding it's only a display preference.

Whaaaat sorry 🤦 mistaken this for the blue bar on the home dashboard 😄
As I can recall, @laupalombi @mbb365 talked about removing this at some point 🤔

Guys, this config screen is now a visual mess. The original look was better than what got merged. I have included some cleanup in #51506

I suggested to use ha-form for this PR because it's the component we use for settings in general. The current issue is that Summaries is not using the same font-size and font-weight as the other form element.

We has 3 PRs for home page settings : welcome message, custom summaries and hide suggested entities.
I suggest to keep the settings as simple as possible for now and we can look to improve look and feel when all of this is merged. It's hard to iterate in 3 PRs at the same time.
