I have played around with the % values to try and harmonise those better. I have made `light_saturation` a special case and convert that to a percentage (homey just treats it as a unitless value between 0 and 1). As for the colour mode, I don’t think I can do anything in the widget to help with that. All the widget can do is change the values of the capabilities and if the device doesn’t act on them then I can’t force anything. I will take a look at the SmartThings app to see if I can do anything in there. I have added my Alexa device to Homey and played with the settings and everything works as well as it can. My Alexa devices don’t report back the play/pause state when changed on the actual box, so the toggle can’t stay in sync. That is reflected in the normal Homey device as well and the widget just follows that setting. My Alexa devices (Gen 1 and a Gen 2 display model) also don’t report Artist or Title, etc. ---

Thanks Adrian. Your efforts on these stated issues are appreciated. All considered, its a very nice widget. Thank you for another good community contribution. 👏 ---

Hi Nils, I’ve been fiddling with HTML tables and columns. It works well, but I can’t get rid of the large empty space above the table. Any hints / ideas? ![1000042265](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/0/2056d45d39ef871fbdfb044088d71af5ab658b7f.jpeg) HTML: ```auto

There’s a bug in the test version. Adrian said he’d have a look at the GitHub history to check the changes. But if you roll back to stable version, the gap disappear, correct? ---

I have figured out what is causing the big gap, now trying to thing of a way to keep everyone happy 🙂 As a quick fix, just remove all the prettfying (spaces and new lines) so everything is on one line. `

` The change I made was to allow new lines in the text so it could be formatted: ```auto Show this on line one. And this on line two. ``` I do that by replacing `cr-lf` codes with `
` so the status widget displays them. Unfortunately, your pretty HTML has those codes in it and they get converted. ---

Hello @dooniem Thanks, reverting to the stable version resulted in my data shown without the gap. Hello @Adrian_Rockall Thanks for your quick response. Oooowwwww, it didn’t occur to me yet to try that code without newlines and spaces in it. Like this, using one line, it works great in both test and stable versions: ![1000042284](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/9/e9799aee5e005b29c1a80bb09b8b65f1a4adaf11.jpeg) ![1000042286](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/a/ea10304e33942e04c7abd4621aab004af7821451.jpeg) > [@Adrian\_Rockall](#): > > trying to thing of a way to keep everyone happy 🙂 > The change I made was to allow new lines in the text so it could be formatted: I’m sure the majority of the users will use simple text with newline option. If HTML (table) code should be on one long line, no problem (for me). Thanks for your efforts, much appreciated! ---

You should check the [DataVista app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-datavista/121482) for this. It’s quite customisable ![1000042393](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/a/ca258563513ced7f2029ccc560c09274d42c04b4.jpeg) ![1000042395](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/8/e866cc886b35c637b186787c7de78ddad6a3aee7.jpeg) ![1000042388](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/e/eed41eb01cb8098ff7aeb60b493b8fa40ada23e0.jpeg) ---

I think the only way to do that is to introduce a new action card that is the same as the current one, except it would define the colours as numbers instead of colour pickers. But would users find that confusing? ---

I would take it gladly👍 Is it so that you cannot have same color picker that Homey uses in the web UI, it gives both? And if it is troublematic for some, why not just add another card that defines color as text (hex)🤔 ---

The colour picker doesn’t support tags, even though there’s a space to enter the ASCII hex value. ---

That is too bad, but if you just make another card where colours are defined in text. People could use the one they like more? The case where I would needed is in Homey Script I would like to be able to define the colors and somehow be able to pass them to to your widget🤔 ---

New test version with an ‘Enhanced Set Status’ Flow action card. The colour fields are text so they can take tags. I have also added a parser so you can specify a formula, including ternary operators to calculate the colour. For example ```auto Battery > 50 ? '#00FF00' : Battery > 30 ? '#FF00FF' : '#FF0000' ``` Here `Battery` is a tag that has my current house battery percentage charge. So, if the charge is greater than 50% the text is green, if it’s between 30% and 50% the text is purple and below 30% it’s red. ---

Hello Adrian, I discovered your app a couple of days ago, and playing with it since to get a feedback card for my roborock flows… very nice work btw 😉 one dumb question from a newbie … how do I have to write my formula if my variables returns text… like : $status = Mop ? ‘#00FF00’ : $status = Vac ? ‘#FF00FF’ : ‘#FF0000’ In tried things with no success…even with the help of chatGpt (==,=, ',“”…) I changed my text variable to a numeric one, it’s work off course, but for my own information I’m interested to know how text are working Regards [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-enhanced-device-widgets-live-1-1-29-test-1-1-30/117835.md?page=15) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-enhanced-device-widgets-live-1-1-29-test-1-1-30/117835.md?page=17)
