I know the existence of Homeydash and the e-ink solution, but is there a control panel for homey like the google nest hub?

But as you know already about that, perhaps some more information, what are you trying to achieve which can not be achieved using the standard google nest hub’s control panel?

Thanks for the information. But will this still be supported after August 2019 when Google stops the Nest-API?

From what I understand this has basically nothing to do with the Nest API. It’s actually a webpage that’s connected to homey. Then you go into the webpage through the Nest Hub (via Chromecast API).

So yeah it should definitely work even after august.

If Google decides to stop supporting casting a webpage then it’ll stop work. But it’s impossible to know.

@Rocodamelshekima made a post how to do this:

> [@Homeydash.com, a Homey dashboard](https://community.homey.app/t/homeydash-com-a-homey-dashboard/13509/193):
>
> [Homeydash.com](http://Homeydash.com) on a Nest Hub. Add the Nest Hub to ur Homey as a Chromecast device and call it whatever u like. After that make a virtual device ( i used [the virtual device app from Arjan](https://apps.athom.com/app/com.arjankranenburg.virtual) and added a light with just the on/off capability) and call it “Dashboard” . Then we make a flow with casting a website to ur newly added Nest Hub: [chrome\_2019-06-12\_17-46-32] [chrome\_2019-06-12\_17-46-10] Then we can say “Turn on the dashboard” and voila!

Homeydash is one thing, a good dashboard to control ur house with. Set it up locally and u have all your automation within ur local network.

U can still use Google home/assistant if thats a demand of yours. Just link ur athom account (internet need ofc). As assistant just use what ever compatible device (Google hub, a tablet etc).

None above has to do with cancelation of Nest API. Thats for google devices to interact direct with homey.  
But thats all good, its all junk devices anyhow;)

Hi. I‘d like to show the dashboard on Google Nest Hub too, as you have on your picture. I made a virtual device and a flow to cast the [homeydash.com](http://homeydash.com) on Google. It doesn‘t work. Is there a trick, which I miss? Thank you.
