Welcome, Eric

You can do this with this Dashboards Controller app flow card:

Maybe you’ll need to wake it up first:

The ‘button’ trigger can be replaced with a motion sensor trigger card f.i.

The D.Controller app has to be connected with Fully browser first.

Where did you find app.homey?

When you go to Fully’s “settings > universal launcher”, you can select apps you like to have in there.
It’ll show the internal app names you need to use to start those apps, like app.homey

AFAIK you don’t need to actually add apps to the universal launcher, to be able to start apps on the tablet with Dashboard Controller.

Do you have a tutorial for a newbie?

For Fully? Here’s a howto:

That starts Homey. How do you get the dashboard ?

AFAIK you can’t start Homey app with a dashboard view yet. You’d request this @ Athom

The Homey app usually starts with the start page a.k.a. home-screen

The title of this thread (Auto startup dashboard…) had me confused :innocent:

Ah, I didn’t read to well either :grimacing:
So the status is:

  1. Auto start Homey app @ tablet: :white_check_mark:
  2. Auto start Homey app with dashboard view → send feature request to Athom.
    Or vote for dashboard web access here:
    [Request] Web interface

Is there a way to do it whit an Ipad (pro)?
Dashboard controller is only for android

Thanks again @Peter_Kawa. Your post certainly helped me setting up Dashboard on a Android tablet. It was a couple of hours finding how things work but we’re almost there.

As @Henk_Renting already mentioned: The app has started, but not yet in the specific Dashboard I configured. Thats up to Homey. I hope they read this forum also, because this is a thing more people ask.

I also hope they include an Dashboard user, dedicated for displaying only dashboards. At this moment it is possible to exit the dashboard, and disable Heimdall Surveillance without any authentication.

YW!

Officially not

Noticed that the home screen is configurable like a dashboard (iOs). Are there differences in functionallity to dashboard tab? Works for me so far.
And it start with it.
