Homey Dashboards | Megathread

please let me set on my own how many columns I want and then adjust font according to space and not vice versa - this makes no sense sorry :wink:

I just want to be able to have a dashboard for a device I want and say I want 2 columns even if there is space for 3… and just have big pictures or whatever in those

I think this should be fairly possible

@Harwin could I get an answer here? this is pretty important base functionality I think
also the referenced post I did not see any reaction from you guys?

further an additional idea I had to bounce in here:
would it be possible to have something like an overlay popup widget - example:
when someone rings the door - popup overlay with a snapshot of my (ring) camera and a button (custom button I have to open my Nuki lock)

OK,
there has to be a limit somewhere.
But so far there have only been problems with other apps below Android 5.
Many users have older tablets for Home-Dashboards that are no longer used for Office.
:wink:

I would not want to use a device that is EOL and no longer vuln managed and patched for my home (security) system dashboard EVER… :wink:

And to be able to add more of own items, e.g. for outdoor climate.

How certain are you that Homey itself is free of vulnerabilities, given that it’s (literally) just a black box?

There are other bad gateways in smart home technology: Shelly, HUE, WiFi, etc.
homey doesn’t need a fingerprint scanner or double verification - Android 6 is definitely sufficient
:wink: :raising_hand_man:t3:

We can’t be certain that’s for sure but that same principle also apply to open source software. I know dev tends to prefer open source but it does not make it safer.
Many critical vulnerabilities in Bash, OpenSSL, Log4j / Log4Shell, and more recently OpenSSH were discovered over the years. Some of these vulnerabilities were present for 10 years :upside_down_face: :man_facepalming:
The best we can all do IMO is making sure we use up-to-date software, use least privilege and implement segmentation wherever possible but even in that case zero day exists on the black market.
For large corporation story can be a bit different but then some company like Microsoft give some of these big corporation extremly restricted access to source code as well in some instances. Private review in a room under supervision for ex.

I’ve never understood why anyone wants to make their home security integrated into everything else.

I personally use Texecom for my home alarm and PIRs. I couldn’t ever imagine wanting to control it using Homey or any other SH controller.

The problem appears for widgets created after the first ā€œhomey app installā€. Have tried and uninstalled the app and installed again, but the widgets created after the first install will not render.

If i change the app ID and name to something new, all widgets works.

Would be great to get a similar widget to the stockticker widget bottom left, but for any sensor device instead - for the rest it looks amazing! Looking forward to.

OK, it’s not necessarily sustainable to keep buying new devices.
I’m going to flash a good, almost new Samsung Galaxy Tab S.
(it’s not easy to get a cheap 10" white tab)
But now back to my question.
From which Android version is the homey dashboard supported?
Thanks and regards :wink: :raising_hand_man:t3:

Android 7

Hmm, doesn’t work. :thinking:
Tablet is now Android 11 - still no dashboard.
(not really fun…)
I will install a different (older) ROM.
Phone and new tablet Android 10 - dashboard ok.
I’ll give up and wait.
See you later

Are you sure that you’re installing the test version and not a regular release?

You should use this app:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.homey

ok, didn’t know I was a tester :face_with_hand_over_mouth: :man_facepalming:t3:

And that’s why we start by reading (at least) the first post, haha :wink:

But glad it was that easy of a fix!

I am already old and have no time for it :rofl: :older_man:t3:

I want. I want everything to be controlled in Homey except Disarm

I’m afraid you have to describe your problem a bit more clear. I don’t understand what testflight has to do with emails and "inwisselcodes’?
