Hi, Flow tokens are a very strong part of homey. They are essentially just all values devices, apps and yes/no, text/number variables you make yourself. If you have any questions about them, just let us know šŸ™‚ ---

Now the Homey Dashboard is released in beta, is anyone making the move from HDashboards? ---

Well, ofcourse people will as everybody has different needs. In my opinion, controlling dashboards by flow, rtsp streams, assigning every tile an unique action (by flow) and having a fully customizable grid, are huge proā€™s of hdash. Also, having colored tiles depending on the status, being able to show big amount of variable texts, being able to have multiple Homeyā€™s, the gauge meter and a full user management system can also be big proā€™s for some people A big pro for homey Dashboards is the possibility to for app developers to make widgets. Hopefully they ll all be in the we style. ---

So far I have not seen cancellations. Also we strike back with major releases and new functions. ---

The last three weeks I switched a lot between dashboards. They both have itā€™s pros and cons. But in the end I never had the official Homey Dashboard running longer on my wall than a full day. The official dashboard definitely looks better, and you canā€™t really mess up (I have seen a lot of really terrible looking HDash dashboards from other users). But in the end itā€™s all about features and functionality. The reason for me to keep using HDashboards: - The flexibele grid - Different dashboards (layouts) for different devices - Information density, begin able to add so much more on a single screen - The use of custom images (to start a flow) - The abiliy to start a flow from ANY item on the dashboard - The ability to open other dashboards from ANY item on the dashboard - Much more flexibility and usability to show ā€˜variableā€™ information - The multi card with toggles - The gauge card - Being able to set a custom wallpaper and use opacity on the cards - And a ā€˜stupidā€™ one, but I so much like the fact that I can directly scroll the Homey timeline from the dashboard The official dahsboard isnā€™t bad by any means. And I would happily use if there wasnā€™t the HDashboards alternative. I am looking forward to the development of both solutions šŸ™‚ ---

Thanks for sharing your experiences, that helps a lot. Personally I think both systems serve other type of users. Where indeed Homey dashboards itā€™s hard to mess up it lacks a lot of features, but for the mainstream user thatā€™s gonna be fine. I rather see HDashboardsa bit as also developing your own custom controll home app. ---

Might be that that is just a limitation of our webviewer on iOS. as Hdashboards is a native mobile app our UI is nativly rendered. It might be that transparont doesnā€™t work when loading in a bloc kof HTML. But i should check if that is indeed the case. ---
