I have Dashboard running on a dedicated Android tablet in Kiosk mode. It has no advanced widgets, only Homey’s own. I don’t interact with it.
Problem is that it dies at least every other day, most often every day. It’s easy to restart with a couple of clicks, but still annoying. It seems it’s crashing more and more frequently. There are no errors or messages to indicate why the Dashboard crashed.
Is Dashboard this bad and unstable for everyone? The tablet is a cheap Lenovo, pretty new, and was not used for anything before I started Homey dashboard on it. Thoughts or suggestions? Kiosk mode didn’t help, instead of returning to the home screen it now returns to the Homey screen where I have to select which dashboard to start.
No issues here personally.
There might be an 3rd party widget that’s acting up, do you have the issue with all your dashboards or just particular ones?
I have the same issue on an Android tablet with HDashboard. For months the dashboard was show 24 hours aday with no problem. Since (Ithink ) 3 weeks it stops every day several times and sometimes it stay up for days. HDashboard also had a kiosk mode. I think it is something in Android. (This dashboard is the only app that is running on this tablet, it is on the wall and it is not used for anything else)
Maybe it’s due to some ‘clever’ new energy savings options.
I’d make sure to have the app excluded from Sleep, Deep sleep and such.
Another thing what might help:
In app overview mode, tap the app icon above it’s miniature screen, and select “Always open” or the like:
I will try this. Just today, Homey Dashboard has crashed several times. It’s next to useless if this continues. Sometimes though, it manages to stay up for three days, but that’s max. In any case, it’s far from working as intended in its current state, and one would think such frequent crashes would be fixable.
