I was surprised that a guest user can see and use my Dashboards. This is great! I have encountered one issue, however.

A guest user sees a “+Favorite Moods” link instead of the Favorite Moods list in my widget. When the guest clicks on that text, the Favorite Moods selection screen appears, Moods can be selected, reordered, and removed. There is no save button. The Back button returns to the Dashboard without saving the selections.

Hi mate, how did you get an overview tile for the number of doors open?  
Can you explain?  
Much appreciated.

Hi Paulo,

Thanks. You can find it [here](https://community.homey.app/t/share-your-device-advanced-virtual-devices-from-device-capabilities/68676/88), as import-able device + flow.

@Harwin  
My app widget uses realtime events to push changed data from the app/devices to the widget. But after some time, these messaging is stopped.  
The Homey app stays active on the tablet (no energy saving), the screen goes off and is switched on via flow and Tasker app.  
How can I keep realtime events active? Is it needed to poll the app from time to time with api calls? Is this re-establishing the realtime (websocket?) connection?

I can see this situation also in Homey app on the phone (main screen). When re-opening the app, the app widgets are in an old state and it seems they are nut refreshed. It needs a hard close of Homey app. On next start, the main screen is rebuild and widget are loaded again.

Yes, but the svg must be placed in puplic folder.  
Else you have to read a capability svg with the Homey URL if that is what you want.  
But that’s something for Slack or Developer channel.

A bit of self-promotion here, but if you’re into gauges, you’ll definitely want to check out what I’m working on!

In the future, additional widgets will be added to display more data though other visualizations. The app currently offers a simple and advanced gauge. The first can be configured fully via widget settings only. The latter accepts configuration from flows. Both widgets update dynamically with an animation. Colors, ranges and the label are customizable, and cu…

Has anyone had any issue with the dashboard locking up? I run it on an iPad Pro 24 hours a day but at least once a day I need to close the App and re open it as it becomes unresponsive.

Got it, found out you’re using a smaller font-size in which it got cut off. This will be fixed next release 👌 Thank you for reporting!

Cool new features! I’ve seen that clicking on the new zone activity widget opens up the default zone activity window. Any way for developers to deep-link to these detailed views as well? I’ve launched [a zone activity widget](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-zone-activity/115838/14) 2 weeks ago and it would be awesome if I could implement sort of the same behavior.

What defines the colors of the energy widget?  
For me it seems that green is zero, and blue is anything above.  
In your example you have yellow, is that just for solar panels?

Would be nice to be able to set parameters for colors myself.  
F.I. red color if above a certain number.

Hi @Erikvl87, currently there is no way to deep-link to a part of the mobile app.

From a developer perspective it could be nice to have deep-linking. However by supporting deep-linking to certain views we limit the apps innovation and freedom because from then on we are required to keep the deep-linked views in order not to break any App Widgets.

I past your request forward 👍 , but like i said, I doubt if we should support it 🙂

</div>

Those colors are defined:

**P1 Meters:**

- Blue is energy usage (for example 500w)
- Green is energy export (for example -500w)

**Solar panels**

- Yellow is energy production (for example 500w)
- Blue is energy usage (for example -500w)

Unfortunately custom colors in energy charts is not something we are currently aiming for because it does not fit in the bigger picture 🙂

Ok, I see. But 0w usage, is shown as green on my devices. They don’t export anything. Is this by design?

**0w** with the **green color** is by design. 🍃

Ok, perfect. One request:  
Maybe a desimal or two? That way the blue color makes sense when a devices usage is 0,X Watts
