Hello everyone

My goal is to display the dashboard only when movement has taken place in front of the tablet. Otherwise the screen should be dimmed to black or switched off.

How did you solve this?

I have been using the Community Dashboard for years

> [Homeydash.com](http://Homeydash.com) A project started from a hacky friday with @weejewel did go viral and look where we are today! Athom created the original Homey.ink and made it open source so others could modify it to their needs, and that’s what “we” did. @DaneedeKruyff made a wicked version so far and i provided a domain name and hosting for the online version. This online version also contains multiple languages like Danish, Swedish and many more. Even Spanish is available online! Also more devices/capabiliti…

There you have the option of simply darkening the dashboard by defining a motion sensor as a brightness device (without locking the iPad):

Would this also be something for the Homey Dashboard?  
It would only be necessary to define a motion sensor as a brightness device, perhaps define the dim level when no movement is detected and simply darken the entire dashboard until the entire dashboard is black. And set it back to 100% dim level as soon as motion is detected.  
That would be great!
