Hello everyone,
I'm doing an automation controller, which has Auto/Manual mode. In the dashboard, I have multiple switches to control my devives. But in Auto mode, I will not use those switches.
For an elegant solution, is there any way that I can make the switches not visible in Auto Mode?

Not really.
But you could/can **disable** them. So pressing them won't make anything happen.
If you are adventurous you can look at `CSS` stuff in a `template` node and you could make the place where the button/s are be invisible/blank. But it would still take up screen space.
