Homey dashboard crashes almost every day

Hi!

I have 3 android (samsung galaxy tab) that I use with Homey Dashboard to control the lighting in different rooms. The problem I have is that the dashboard seem to crash almost every day. Most of the times it have either frozen or by itself returned to normal Homey front tab, or sometimes the app itself has crashed. This is a big hazzle as I need to walk around in the house to ensure theese dashboards work all the time and it has a very low WAF(Wife acceptance factor) when its almost always down when my wife needs to use the screens.

Is there any way to make this more stable, or is there other dashboard that are more stable?

I did use HDashboards for a while too but that app could freeze many times a day and needed to be completely closed and restarted again before it worked.

What widgets do you have on the dashboard?
It might be them causing the crashes.

My dashboard have been running for many weeks now, no crashes.
I am using insights widget, Enhanced device widget and am showing an webpage.

What do you use to keep the screen on?

Hey!

This is something I am currently investigating. This seems to be an issue with certain dashboard widgets on iOS devices. Providing a list of widgets might be able to help us tracking down the culprit. We are currently running test to find and resolve this issue. Unfortunately, this takes a while before we get the results. If you want to actively help us solve this issue, try to remove certain widgets for a day, Lights, insights and the Energy widget seem to have some effect.

Check (all) of your network influencing stuff please, see if disabling it makes a difference. If so, whitelist Homey I"d say.

@Emile Same issues as me!

Are you using the zone widgets ? ( Lights ) ?

Hi!

Im using:
DataVista, Enhanced Device Widget, WidgetBoard and Widgey on the dashboards.
Also using showing an webpage, and the normal included widgets like lights, zone, sliders and flows

I cant remove lights from dashboard though, is the main point of it - controlling the lights in the house :stuck_out_tongue:

You can start by removing (or disabling) all 3rd party widgets you mention.
If the dash stops crashing, you can find the faulty widget(s) by adding/enabling them one by one.

It’s the zone widgets that cause crashes. Athom is looking at it
