When you hover over the page panel the tiny icons appear. I need reading glasses.

Yes. I installed @flowfuse/node-red-dashboard through the manage palette.

Is it possible to connect to a node red dashboard without loging in
It's the subnet that changes with Android hotspot, so static IP isn't fesable. I'm wondering if there is something I can do with cookies, which I don't really know much about. I have created an app for my phone that scans the network to get the new Pi address and then uses an embedded browser to connect to the node red dashboard. That woks fine but Kip loses its locally stored settings every time the ip address changes. If I can solve that them I think I can live with it. I'm not concerned about disabling security since the Pi is connected to my Android hotspot network which is private and password protected. I don't imagine the Pi will ever connect to, say, a marina wifi and if it does then nosey people will be able to see the level of my water tank, but I don't mind. It's not a national secret.

Is it possible to connect to a node red dashboard without loging in
The problem I have is that I want data from the Pi on my phone (such as AIS in Navionics) and to be able to reach the internet on my phone at the same time. The only way of doing this is to have the phone as the wifi network, otherwise I would happily set the pi up as the hotspot. Getting AIS via UDP works, especially as I broadcast it from a python script that detects the subnet change and is able to cope but now I am expanding into using node red the whole hotspot/subnet change becomes infuriating again. I have the node red issue solved but Kip and cookies falls down every time the ip changes. (Or signalk and login if authentication is enabled). Coupled with my phone choosing a non legal UK channel for 5Ghz hotspot it's enough to make me switch to Apple. (not really though)

Oh wait... how do I turn off security? That would work would it? I don't care about that.

Yes. But unfortunately KIP doesn't do mouse down/up events on Android. It's very specific, my issue.

Is it possible to connect to a node red dashboard without loging in
Yes. But then I would simply set the Pi up as the router if that worked. I think I am stumped and will have to log in each time. The Ip address usually stays for 24 hours at least.

Ah. yes. See my response! It is a total PITA that Google won't allow you to fix the subnet.

Is it possible to connect to a node red dashboard without loging in
I'm not sure I follow. My phone serves out an access point on a particular subnet, which changes, but the phone itself doesn't know/recognise the hostname of any device it creates an access point for so I can't connect the phone to anything other than by IP address. So if i want to connect my phone to a URL on the pi after having served out a new Ip address to the Pi I don't know how I can do it other than through the new IP address, hence having to log in again.

Is it possible to connect to a node red dashboard without loging in
The problem is the phone is my only source for internet, so in order to connect to signalk and be able to do other internet things on the phone I have to connect the Pi to it, otherwise I would have the Pi as the access point. I don't think IPhones do this.

So are you saying that if the ip address of the pi changes then the credentials are lost and there is nothing I can do about it?

Setting up Kip for different devices
The word backup is helpful. "Backup configuration to server" rather than "save" might have helped me, but you can't cater for everybody. I think my brain was put in sideways when I was built.

Setting up Kip for different devices
I have had a very quick re read of the help page and although it was a while ago I think I was confused simply by the word "default". It took me a while to realise that the word default meant the only page you can see, if that's the way to put it. In my head a default is something that is a starting point. I probably am not explaining myself very well but I think I didn't understand that when you log in as a user you can only ever see the "default" page for that user and saved configurations have to be copied over to the default. I don't know if I can think of a better way of putting it though right now. When I get some time I'll see if I can understand why it took me a while to get my head round it.

I'm glad you said that. Sometimes I conclude that I am simply stupid. Maybe that's still true!
