If you want to change variables in Dashboard a numpad is coming up and i get a , and that doesnt works since it needs a .  
I have added it as an issue but i dont know if anyone have seen it

Android with Samsung numeric keyboard shows both `,` and `.`

You can try to install alternate keyboards?

Hint: copy a dot from somewhere, so you can paste it into the variable value field

_But I agree on: it shouldn’t matter what we use here, Homey should be able to simply translate an entered `,` into `.` automatically._

With the latest update I’ve noticed that it takes an unusually long time to load the Dashboard. There even is a load indicator on my iPad Pro 2018 (so not particularly a slow device). I’ve got the iPad wall mounted with just the Homey App in Dashboard running. I wake it up with a Hue motion sensor that’s sending a push notification.

Is there any way to speed up the load time? Or do you plan to improve load speeds? In older versions, it was running quite fine.

The android app is not in beta. You have to update it via the google play store.

Based on the [change log](https://homey.app/en-nl/wiki/homey-mobile-app-changelog/), there should also be a version 9.0.4 that includes kiosk mode. It does not mention that it is only for iOS. Is this version not available on Android?

Waited for the dashboard tiles to put on the homescreen. With 9.0.4 this is possible. Awesome 🤩

Hi,  
the Homey podcast mentioned that you can now create a shortcut in your dashboard to another dashboard. But I still can’t figure out how to add a shortcut to my Dashboard to go to another Dashboard.

Homey Firmware version: 12.3.1.

App version: 9.0.3.1652

Does anyone have an idea where I can find it? They said it was no longer in beta, so I assumed it was now in the app.

You should add them as a widget.

Don’t know from which app version. Mine is running on 9.1.0.1665

I now suddenly see an update to the app appear in the Play Store. Checked an hour ago and there was no update, just checked again and there was an update.

Updated and now I see the shortcut.  
Thanks for the quick response!!

Maybe app uninstall and then install helps.

Let me start by saying that I find dashboards a very valuable addition. The kiosk mode is also great. This way I can set up Homey on my wife and children’s devices without them being overwhelmed by all the possibilities.

But, one big drawback is that the lock/release of the kiosk mode is linked to the device’s unlock options. This means that anyone who can unlock the device (iPhone/iPad code/face id/touch id) can also unlock the kiosk mode. That’s exactly what I don’t want because then my children can still access everything, since they can unlock their own devices.

Is there a way I can also use a ‘single’ code that is separate from the device lock? For example, a number code or something similar. Or are there other possibilities that I have not yet discovered?
