> [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > Do you mean the developer should add a meter\_power capability at least? Yes, there must be a measure\_power capability in the device to be shown as energy usage. That’ the same behaviour also for energy overview in device list. If the app uses a custom capability or subcapability, the developer should add at least a “hidden” standard capability for energy. ---

Hi, When I create multiple columns, the default column is always the first column. This means that if I have 3 columns, I need to swipe 2x to the right to see the last one. I would welcome the option to choose a default column. This way I can choose (in a 3 column dashboard), column 2 as the default, so I only need to swipe once to see the last column. Now I am aware that in case of the need to see all columns, this does not solve anything, however, I typically am only interested in one or two of the 3 at any given time. As an example, I have the same setup on my android homescreen: it has a default page (page 2), and swipe left to page 1 = show “current data” page (e.g. packages, energy, weather, …), swipe right (to page 3) shows other stuff, like Contacts, Calendar, Mail. Similarly, I would foresee a use case on my Homey Dashboard to have: - column 1: Today’s energy usage - column 2: Current energy usage (AND DEFAULT PAGE) - column 3: This month and this year’s usage Thanks for considering ---

Wouldn’t it be nice if you create a climate card for e.g. your airco, that you can start/stop it by tapping the card? Now you need to open the details, second tab or create a device card next to it. Or add a toggle inside the card. ---

You can do this, using “Fully Kiosk single app” and the homey app, “Dashboard controller”. This gives the added bonus of bering able to lock the tablet to show the Homey Dashboard and the option to open apps on the tablet from tiles on Dashboards. See this for more info: > [@\[Request\] Opening apps from tiles](https://community.homey.app/t/request-opening-apps-from-tiles/117963): > > It can be very convinient to open an app from a tile in Dashboards. For instance, you might want to browse your music with the Spotify app or add something to you shopping list app. The way I do it now is by using Full Kiosk browser ([https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fullykiosk.singleapp](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fullykiosk.singleapp)) and “Dashboard Controller” ([Dashboard Controller App til Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/da-dk/app/nl.xseth.dashboardctrl/Dashboard-Controller/)). This app has a flow card that opens up an app. After 20 seconds of inactivity, I then close the app again in a flow, wh… ---

It would be nice (for a tablet) if there was an option to directly load a certain dashboards if you start the Homey app. So the dashboard is shown immediately after startup. ---

Hi @Harwin , Thanks for the update. Awesome! One of the webframes I want to auto refresh gives a white screen after refresh. It is this simple url: “[https://www.meteobelgium.net/webcam\_other/gand/photo.jpg”](https://www.meteobelgium.net/webcam_other/gand/photo.jpg%E2%80%9D) Any ideas? Do you know when the auto refresh Will be available for cameras? Thanks! ---

No I’m not running any custom widgets. It looks like none of the Apps I use don’t have any widgets available yet. When it stalls the whole App is unresponsive so I don’t think there is a way to send the log. Thinking about this further there have been very frequent updates to the Beta software. I believe that once a new update is available on test flight the App on the device running the dashboard locks up. Is this expected behaviour? ---

Hi Harwin, happy to see these new feature 😍 Great job as always! Just 2 suggestions: 1. The Zone control Widget is not aligned with the column layout depending on the zoom of the font/screen: 2. It would be awesome to choose the meter’s parameter to display. I have a shelly 3EM and on one of the three meters there is the overall energy in use.
