Hi Yann, may I ask how you added the cloud icon for the weather? Does it change automatically with the weather? Does anyone have a 3- or 5-day forecast yet? Buienradar works fine, but I’m still looking for a weather icon that displays the current weather. ---

How did you integrate Buienradar? ---

I created the workflow below according to the tips and tricks from Satoer. See [Dashboard Studio | The Ultimate Smart Home Interface](https://satoer.com/dashboardstudio/?docs=Tips+%26+Tricks) .

hello @Johan_Huisman I have created a bunch of advanced flows to sent data to DS… one of them is dedicated to weather (météo in French) - I put notes in English for you first step is my trigger - dashboard loaded + time loop every hour… second step - I catch the ‘météo’ string variable ( I supposed ‘weather’ in English) third step - with logic function, I test the string , and for each string I choose a dedicated icon that I put in the DS send card so far it is a work in progress, I didn’t spend time to track all possible words - I advance day by day… I didn’t even check if I can use IDs instead of word (better for translation) - just experimenting UI/UX stuff It’s update automatically with the timer trigger my next experimentation for a nice weather widget is 1 : add forecast 2 : change icon with photo background, animated will be a plus - I really expect to bring a nice touch of animation in most of the widget ![Capture d’écran 2026-02-25 à 11.14.12](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/d/0dcb857f5eb344bd55234a874ff53b8fe1cd6250.jpeg) ---

tell me about it 🙃 this is my flow for 1 homePod only… - I send 6 card events I have 4 speakers to manage 🥶 … for sure I can optimise my ‘code’ a bit but the main thing is I don’t know if I can’t dynamically generate a variable/tag name - maybe cause DS card accept tag changing hardcoded : ‘Dash.bur.Progression’ with : ‘Dash.[ROOM].Progression’ will be way better ![Capture d’écran 2026-02-25 à 12.42.42](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/d/3df1339cc5640965de352369f43525c94c3683a2.jpeg) ---

> [@Martijn\_C](#): > > The menu items (page buttons) are very buggy when used as a push button image only. Sometimes I need to click 10 times before a click is registered. When I change to switch pill it works much better, but I can’t use a gradient background for the dashboard since the pill needs a color. How do I best solve this? Are you sure there are no other widget elements overlaying the push button? So the click is not registering because you are actually clicking another overlaying widget? What operating system and browser are you using? Do you have the same experience using the demo dashboard (all widgets page =\> buttons? > [@Martijn\_C](#): > > It there a way to copy a page to a next page? All my spaces have the same lay-out and menu so copying each item valuable time. 🙂 There is no function like that, but there is an option to duplicate all selected objects. I think an option like “move selected object to page(s)[xx]” should be doable. > [@Martijn\_C](#): > > And I don’t see an option for current dim state for lights, correct?

Thanks for your answer. No, but I saw only the letters were clickable when I use a transparant background or no background. That’s why most clicks were missed. I also prefer the font of the label widget but that cannot be clickable, can it? Duplicate to page would be helpful. Ah, I have to use the value setting. Thanks! ---

One other thing: I use the dashboard on two floors. When something is changed on one floor, the dashboard isn’t refreshed on tje other floor, unless I hard refresh the page. How can I solve this? ---

Yes you can create variable tag names in a Homey flow. Like: Button[number tag]Activated. And then in DS use topics Button1Activated, Button2Activated etc. ---

This is also possible with the current version, but takes some technical creativity. You could extract the highest price from pbth and send this to a label. If you want the label at the exact position of the highest price, you should extract the hour of the highest price from the pbth data and use that value to calculate the X position of the label.
