Hi. I now use my ipad and homey dashboard for most things in my home. I have plex and sonos apps but i feel like they are lacking - Is it possible to have my plex library show on my dashboard and select a film to watch right off the dashboard. Have that in a flow so tjst when a title is selected, its casts to tv and dims lights etc? Same with sonos. It can only play pre set “favourites” or playlists. Is there a way to get apple music in so i can search my music more freely and play anything? Thanks ---

As far as I know, Homey does not offer media browsing functionality. Nor does any of the Sonos apps for Homey. Would be a welcome addition though 😊. Maybe this is something you might want to relay to Athom via [Support | Homey](https://homey.app/support/) as I assume the basic functionality for this to work must be included in their Software Development Kit. ---

Ill give it a go. Ive submitted some tickets recently to homey that have gone unanswered. Issues with Matter. Can a web browser/web app be used on a dashboard? I guess then its how to get the media to play. Ill suggest it. The sonos app really should have media browsing, would make the dashbaord far better. Im surprised there is no apple music functionality too. ---

> [@Welshsmarthome](#): > > Can a web browser/web app be used on a dashboard? Not sure whether you can use a complete web app, but the standard web frame widget allows you to show a web page: ![IMG_2471](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/9/a9c0df00f766b403f6b752c4ed86d7eb72b8366b.jpeg) The widget’s size is of course relatively small and there are no browsing controls available. So I doubt whether it is very useful for this purpose. ---

Ah ok, thanks for your suggestion. Ive sent a ticket into homey. Hopefully one day 😁
