Homey Dashboards | Megathread

Hi @provanguard

@provanguard

Is it true that dashboards are only accessible using the native phone / tablet apps?
When will you add the web interface support?

Couple of messages above this one you have a link that you can follow if you want to upvote a feature request for Dashboard on the Web App

[B3rt]

does someone made a video/demo how this works, how does it look like, how does it actually work?

Maybe a video with a demo so people can see what you can do or not can do?

[pendojoshua]

There’s a showcase topic. But I guess a dashboard is kind of self explanatory: it hold buttons / widgets / flows placed and organized to your liking. The widgets can extend the visualization or functionality for devices connected to your Homey.

Showcase your Dashboard

@HenriDO You need to force restart the app after adjusting the font size. Then the 3 columns will work. [IMG_0151.PNG]

@B3rt

so people can see what you can do or not can do

In addition to pendojoshua: it’s new, still in a very early development stage, things might change, and (probably) more things are yet to come, by Athom as well as by community (app) developers.

I’m under the impression you now would like to see a demo of a finished product.
For now, just press all the buttons and have fun

I’m trying to develop widgets, but I encounter troubles with several widgets. The first widget within the app works fine, but from then on all added widgets only render “widget not found” in the dashboard. I’ve started all over with a new app, and experience the same problem… I use only boilerplate code, and use command “homey app install” to test the widgets.

[pendojoshua]

Do you use multiple widgets in a single app? Do you use homey app widget create for each widget or did you try to manually clone the folder?

[Eilev]

Multiple widgets within an app, each created with the “homey app widget create” command The first one still works and can be developed with changes, but the second and third always renders “Widget Not Found” - even when I keep the created boilerplate index.html unchanged…

[pendojoshua]

I’ll try to recreate this later today and see what I get. I have no direct answer if it’s all done following the instructions of the docs. Sorry!

Homey Updates for Android are delayed:
I am sorry to inform you that we’re still having some trouble with getting our latest updates shipped on Android. Google is making things unnecessarily difficult. Please have patience, and know that we are working hard to get those updates shipped to Android.

The new updates will support:

• The possibility for more columns while using a small font-size
• Transparent App Widgets
• Text-resizing support for App Widgets (it will now size with the phone text-size settings.)

Been playing around with the dashboard, I’m actually missing the buttons on the devices screen that give fast access to Lights, Activity, Speakers, Energy and Climate.
I would love to be able to select these as (seperate) widgets!

Homey Dashboards — Megathread

Hi, is it possible to make a widget that displays a calender and can import data from iCal?

An Agenda app to link with Icall would be perfect!

With this howto, you can add a Google Calendar by generating an URL you can use in the “web” widget for displaying it:

click me for step by step instructions

(Source)

Now, from the generated URL, like this example:
<iframe src="https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?height=600&wkst=2&mode=AGENDA&title=Test&src=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&color=%23F4511E" style="border:solid 1px #777" width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

remove the iframe parts, so you end up with just this part:
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?height=600&wkst=2&mode=AGENDA&title=Test&src=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&color=%23F4511E

When you paste that URL into the “web” widget,

it can look like this:

[Friedhofsblond]

hello,
a stupid question.
Which Android version is required for the homey dashboard?
I can’t find the fields on my Android 6 tablet:

thanks for the answer

[RonnyW]

See 1st post. App version 9.0.0

[robertklep]

Android version, not app version. But it would make sense that dashboards are available on every Android version that’s able to run the Android app.
