@Harwin

Hi.  
It would be great with support for water-heaters (heaters in general) in the thermostat-widget. (Or a separate widget, but this seems unnecessary)  
I have a smart heater from Høiax that is supported by Homey. But even though it has all the capabilities to be controlled as a thermostat (target\_temperature, measure\_temperature) it has the device class: heater, and is therefore not supported by the widget.

@Torbjorn_Melbye that is a great suggestions, you are correct that we should add support for the `heater` as well. We have a feature freeze at the moment, but will add the `heater` class soon 👍 Also we will make it available in climate controls.

Thank you for contributing! 💪

@Luca_Lorenzi thank you for the suggestions!

1. That’s doesn’t look good at all, we will provide a fix for that 👍
2. Could you provider a screenshot of the develop tools of this product so that we see quickly what capabilities are used?

Thank you for contributing! 💪

@Arjank95 , @Peter_de_Vos , @Peter_Kawa ,

Thank you for reporting this crashes. If I am correct you use the new Energy Usage widget? We are investigating the crashes on Android for this Widget as we speak 👍

Here it is Harwin  
The widget takes the measure\_power, it would be great to choose between that and the measure\_power.total

Thank you!

This morning the app updated to 9.0.0.1623 and I found out I can no longer open a graph by clicking somewhere on the graph, I have to specifically click on the title, a bit annoying and I fail to see why this was changed.

I did also notice I can now click on the graph in the correct spot to get the details of that time, so no longer the offset to the left, very happy with that, thanks for fixing!

Hi Harwin,

The things that would be great:

- Music widget / speaker widget select group of speakers. Now i only have one pair of sonos speakers what i can control. En the rest of the living room speakers not. In sonos itself this is a group but can not be selected in the widget. What also would be great is that when you click the widget it opens sonos or Spotify to search for music etc.  

- Its very nice to see all the devices on screen. But is it possible that when you click them its an action instead of holding them en dan have to click again and go back. For example the gate.  

- And the last one. Refreshing the camera’s or live view. I see this reqeust more in this topic.

Thank you very much. I love this functionality. Keep up the good work.

Hi Guys,

About the energy usage. Now it shows the last minute. Would be nice if you can select more options, like already possible when you click the widget (i would like “per day” also:

 ![IMG_0035](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/a/0a2c45155f007708a2a59df0724aa7bb513764c8.jpeg)

I have 2 converters for solarpowers. Would be nice if you can combine devices, so you can create groups.

Beter goed gejat dan slecht bedacht. Using homewizard for a long time, for fully integration of displaying my energy usage, i really looking forward to see a overall graph:

No, not to my knowledge. Maybe you can flash a newer OS, that’s what once I did with a 2011 Android tablet.  
Con: it’s slow, so best suitable as “info dashboard”

This tablet seems suitable, albeit (very) expensive in my eyes, but that’s very personal of course:

I just bought a new [Samsung Tab A9+](https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/2005716/samsung-galaxy-tab-a9+-wifi-4gb-ram-64gb-opslag-grijs/specificaties/) (€150  
11" 1920x1200 Android15) Very nice tablet!

This is already possible when you use the Insights widget instead of the Energy widget, Bastiaan.  
It only lacks the value dependent colors

You can create groups of devices already with [advanced virtual devices](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-advanced-virtual-device-device-capabilities-app-with-unique-text-status-indicator/68198) (example [here](https://community.homey.app/t/share-your-device-advanced-virtual-devices-from-device-capabilities/68676/39)) and/or the \< group \> app

Thanks for your help Peter. Last question about your tablet, which wall mount do you use? This wall mount also charge the tablet wireless?

No problem, Mark  
Oh, nothing special here, just a bookshelf stand with a 90° USB-C connector (@ short side)

I don’t think it supports wireless charging. It’s not mentioned anywhere, and it doesn’t respond when putting it on a wireless charger 😜

Here’s two nice 3D wall mount printables for the A9+:

Just as a response to this…  
I found this product on AliExpress:

[https://a.aliexpress.com/\_EGy1Bni](https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGy1Bni)

Looks great for dashboard usage.  
Unfortunately, my Tablets USB port is not centered om the bottom, so I can’t use it myself. But this will fit most tablets.

I’ve noticed that community widgets take a longer time to load than native homey widgets.  
Whenever I open a dashboard, the native widgets are loaded almost instantly, while the community widgets take several seconds.
