This morning I found this out as well. Not very useful for my dinner week planning.

Is this a bug or as designed? @Harwin

We, or at least I alone, have been using the Homey for a few months now. My family doesn’t want to use it because they find it too nerdy. To be honest, I think so too. After a while, you do get used to it, but now I’m the only one doing everything here.

I was happy with the dashboards as they seemed like a solution, so I could display them on our presentation screen. But after a first look at the examples, they weren’t interested. The appearance doesn’t appeal to teenagers here. They find it too complicated.

Will there be a widely usable app for the general public? so that we can use it on the presentation screen next to the kitchen bar as our family app?

Don’t know what they do within the app or if your automations need (a lot) of manual interactions.  
You might use the Space Homey app, which transform an image of your rooms or floorlevels (or any graphical representation) to an intuitive way of controling your devices.

The bug is still in the notepad  
But i am using the notepad from the app widgey and it works great. If you make more notepads change the title, than it will save it properly:

You get the embedded ical url from google calendar (online), and use it in a Homey Dashboard Web frame. Works like a charm.

Indeed, I have an old tablet laying around. The homey app can be opened, but the dashhoards don’t always load properly. A web page just for showing the dashboard (no editing) might work better than having to run the app.

Yesterday, I updated the iOS/iPadOS Homey app to version 9.1.0 build 1692. Previously I was on build 1680. Since the update Dashboards and its navigation have become very sluggish.

Symptoms:

- Some dashboards freeze after a few seconds (though not always);

- After tapping the dashboard controls, like the list with dashboards in the header or the close (X) or edit (pen) icons, noting happens or it takes several seconds for the app to respond;

- When a dashboard is displaying and the iPad locks; after unlocking the active dashboard freezes. In build 1680 the dashboard would just refresh and continue to work after unlocking.

- My iPad gets noticeably warmer during the above mentioned symptoms.

I have to force close the app and reopen it get it to work again.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issues?

@Harwin: is this perhaps a known issue?

Hey,

We are aware of people noticing a performance decrease in version later than 1680. It is something I am currently investigating. This unfortunately seems to be an app wide issue in the experimental builds. We haven’t made any changes to dashboards itself, therefore it is probably unrelated to it.

Thanks for letting us know!

Has anyone experienced a change in the Kiosk mode? Previously, I got the device’s PIN screen to enter Kiosk mode, but now there is a built-in ‘Enter password’ screen showing up.  
What password? The PIN code doesn’t work anymore.

Hi @SWarnberg

I don’t know why they changed this. I had to use my Homey Password

I think because unlocking with the device PIN would mean the user could also quit kiosk mode because the PIN is known. This way unlocking the dashboard is separated from exiting kiosk mode.

Performance seems to be normal again in version 9.2.0 build 1698 😀.

Anyone experiencing these issues? My dashboard is running for several hours, but suddenly I get this error message: Failed to subscribe to homey manager apps. Also the dashboard appears empty.

I am running my dashboard on Lenovo Tab P11 Gen 2 11.5" 128GB 4GB.
