Welcome, Eric You can do this with this Dashboards Controller app flow card: > ![1000038565](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/3/032230eebe4695d45ed9584d3b52ecd35413a02a.jpeg) Maybe you’ll need to wake it up first: > ![1000038567](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/6/e6228026402f79ea5a4c712a545538f08245ce29.jpeg) 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.

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 > ![1000000112](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/3/c3ff20393d4ced0d319ad039a45ecb96939ffa2d.jpeg) 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. ---

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 ---

Ah, I didn’t read to well either 😬 So the status is: 1. Auto start Homey app @ tablet: ✅ 2. Auto start Homey app with dashboard view → send feature request to Athom. Or vote for dashboard web access here: [[Request] Web interface](https://community.homey.app/t/request-web-interface/117072) ---

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. ---

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. Best regards Jan
