This application extends the homepage dashboard with Homey Pro system information. It displays the current cpu, memory, storage and temperature information.

## The homepage app

 ![large](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/5/450f3bfce8df08f30ce8e6cb189615506ceaafed.jpeg)

Homepage is a modern, _fully static, fast_, secure _fully proxied_, highly customizable application dashboard with integrations for over 100 services and translations into multiple languages. Easily configured via YAML files or through docker label discovery.

[Here you can find the information you need to install and configure the homepage app](https://gethomepage.dev/)

## Homey-Service configuration

        ping: [homey-ip]
        widget:
            type: customapi
            url: http://[homey-ip]/api/app/org.cflat-inc.homepageExtender/getInfo
            mappings:
                - field: cpu
                  label: cpu
                  format: text
                - field: mem
                  label: mem
                  format: text
                - field: storage
                  label: storage
                  format: text

                  label: temp
                  format: text

Thank you !  
Do you think that in a higher version it would be possible to add support for data from our connected objects to Homey? I’m thinking of temperature sensors, door sensors, etc.

Nope, you only have space for four displayed values, it is made more to get the current state of the hardware.

But if you click on the widget, the Homey web app opens and you can create your own overview there using favorites.

Sorry, its not clear for me, you wrote “change service.yaml file to configure Homepage”. What should be done to see the dashboard using Homey Pro? Some things may be obvious to you, not necessarily to me…

It’s really all in the first post of this thread: [_“Here you can find the information you need to install and configure the homepage app”_](https://gethomepage.dev/)

i would say it’s really not clear how you do it. there’s 4 different types of installation, none of them explains how to set it up on the homey. I guess that it’s easy if you’re a programmer but for us normal people it’s totally impossible to understand how to get it running. can’t someone just write a step by step manual how to get it running?

It seems everyone that is having issues with this (Homey) app doesn’t understand what it’s all about.

This isn’t an app to create a nice dashboard for your Homey, this is a way to show Homey data on a dashboard created by a _completely separate-from-Homey app_ called “Homepage”.

If you have issues installing _that_ app, this isn’t the correct forum to ask your questions or to look for installation instructions. You can [look here](https://gethomepage.dev/latest/more/troubleshooting/) for more information on that.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for this app!  
However unfortunately, it does not seem to work for me. ☹  
I get the following result in my homepage:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/d/5d7045e328ccc0dee01f82a883e36ef82fd5a129.png)  
and when I try to test the API with curl, I get the following result:

> $ curl [http://192.168.178.29/api/app/org.cflat-inc.homepageExtender/getInfo](http://192.168.178.29/api/app/org.cflat-inc.homepageExtender/getInfo)  
> {“code”:500,“error”:“Timeout after 5000ms”,“error\_description”:“Timeout after 5000ms”}

I installed your app on a Homey (Early 2016) Version 12.0.1

Any clue why I am getting this timeout?  
Or how I can investigate further?

Thanks,

Carel
