hi there, I have a very old Android tablet (android 5) collecting dust and I’d like to use it as a Homey dashboard (mainly to check the dynamic electricty prices and some other very light stuff. Installing the homey app isn’t possible since it requires Android 7+. But using the Homey web-app seems not to be possible either, since it doesn’t have the ‘dashboards’ feature available. Is there any one who has an idea on how to make this work? ---

Two options that spring to mind, and by no means are your only options. Someone may have another option for you Search the apps store for ‘dashboards’ Theres a few that would help you out in creating something of your own from scratch for example, ‘Dashboard Studio’ effectively makes your homey instance a web server that you can browse in a web browser that displays your dashboard Alternatively, push your metrics out to an influxdb instance and then use another tool called Grafana to create a web based dashboard both options perhaps need a bit of tinkering, but definitely possible ---

Maybe my webapp could work for you, read more here: (However, you cannot use the apps that can be run inside the Homey app, but you can still get a long way with my built-in features, and it runs in the webbrowser) > [@\[WEBAPP\]\[Pro\] StartPanelApp – Combined start page and a Homey dashboard directly in the browser](https://community.homey.app/t/webapp-pro-startpanelapp-combined-start-page-and-a-homey-dashboard-directly-in-the-browser/152268): > > I created a start page for my browser where I could collect the links and widgets I use daily. After a while I thought it would also be useful to integrate support for Homey Pro, and the project gradually grew into a combined start page and Homey dashboard that runs directly in the browser. It can be used directly from GitHub (or hosted locally on your own server). Maybe others might find it useful as well. Features: Works directly in your web browser, making it easy… ---

hi @Andi, hats off for your app, it really looks clean and nice. Definitely one of the better dashboards, in simplicity to configure it and look at it visually. However, a few questions: - I have added the page on my tablet’s Chrome browser to home screen (to mimic it as an ‘app’). Normally when I do this, I can then click on it and it opens without the address bar. But in this case, it keeps showing the address bar. Is there something in the page source code (manifest file e.g.) to make the address bar disappear so it really looks like a native web app? - quite a few device tiles don’t seem to work. E.g. I have a nuki door lock. When clicking the tile it doesn’t do anything, also longpressing doesn’t trigger it. Unlike lights, that have a toggle/switch which works. Clicking the same Nuki device tile in the Homey lets me control the lock. ![Scherm­afbeelding 2026-06-09 om 09.06.43](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/a/fa14503f9063cb3d145ea7913b9ab348df52daab.png) - one of the main reasons for needing such a dashboard is to see my energy app, the dynamic prices. The ‘SlimLaden’ app ([https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-slimladen-voor-thuisbatterij-marstek-sessy-homewizard-indevolt-victron-alphaess-en-nexus-zonneplan/](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-slimladen-voor-thuisbatterij-marstek-sessy-homewizard-indevolt-victron-alphaess-en-nexus-zonneplan/)) has a widget showing the charging strategy and the dynamic electricty prices throughout the day. Is there a way to show these widgets in your dashboard too? ![8430](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/f/1f039e696ebe1dea721989a41434434bc73989fa.png) ---

Nuki is implemented in the next version: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/4/d4f4e444bb2f775f2441727034ccbebababebe62.png) For the other request it would be great if you could open an issue as this looks difficult to implement: [Issues · andiwirz/com.walldisplay.dashboard](https://github.com/andiwirz/com.walldisplay.dashboard/issues) ---

Nice app, is it possible to display the Dashboard on the Homey Pro Home Page? ---

Unfortunately this is not possible. The Homey Pro Home Page supports small app widgets, but there is no way to embed a full web page or iframe into it. The Wall Display Dashboard is a standalone web app served by your Homey. The best alternatives: - Open the dashboard URL directly in any browser on your display or tablet - On Android or iOS, add it to your home screen via “Add to Home Screen” — it then opens as a full-screen app without the browser address bar (PWA mode) ---

Looks quite interesting. Could you please explain in more detail how this works, @smarthomesven when I want to display some widget on my Homey homescreen on @Andi 's Shelly Wall Display Dashboard? I’ve installed your app, but now what? Is there some documentation to read or walkthrough that I can follow? ---

I don’t know if it works with all webpages. Not all webpages show correctly, and note that loading of the Web Proxy widget is always slower than the regular Webframe (because the regular Webframe sends requests directly from your mobile device, while Web Proxy sends them through your Homey). Web Proxy is a dashboard widget that works very similar to the regular Webframe widget, but it intercepts each request right before it gets sent, and sends it via your Homey instead. This means that you can remotely view the web page (because Homey is accessible remotely via Athom cloud) without opening ports or using a VPN. I have not tried the wall display app yet, I’ll have to check if it works ---

That would be _very_ welcome, if you could make a Homey widget visible in the Shelly dashboard. (FYI: reason for asking for me is to display the chart with dynamic energy prices on Shelly’s dashboard app) ---

You can’t display regular dashboard widgets inside the Shelly dashboard though, it’s only to show the Shelly dashboard in the regular Homey dashboards ---

Ah, I see. But what I would like is vice versa. Showing a Homey widget in the Shelly dashboard. My android tablet isn’t capable of running the Homey app, and neither the Homey dashboard. So I’m relying on Shelly dashboard and it would be awesome to somehow be able to get the energy prices widget / chart visible on it. Any idea, @smarthomesven ? ---
