Hi Ben,

The Here app by @Menno_van_Hout is quite new! And Tasker is most probably as stable as Macrodroid.
It would be awesome if we could pass selected phone sensors on to Homey, like lat,lon data.

Did you know Menno launched a community store the other day?

Thx Sunbeech! Yeah, Brian DM-ed me about it yesterday.

I think that many essential widgets now deserve their own thread/topic. Especaially since Dashboard is no longer beta. It’s really hard to read through this whole thread.

BTW, really amazing work. Dashboards were the most missed feature for me and I couldn’t believe it took Athom so long to tackle it.

Would it be possible to create shortcuts (or possibly via a flow) to the different dashboards? Then you can create a main dashboard on which you can click through to the other dashboards. Now you have to go via the dropdown menu?

As far as i understood, that’s definitly on the roadmap. And it sounds like we have not to wait for years.

Any news on this?

This is probably not a real Homey Dashboards related question but more a dashboard solution in general thing.

I’m using Fully Kiosk App to run Homey Dashboards. What I’d like is to have my wall mounted tablet to switch on when I’m in front of it and switch off again when I’m not (after 30sec or so). The Fully app should be able to do this, but I found that on my Pixel tablet it struggles. Probably due to Android restrictions and the way I’ve set-up the tablet (multiple users at which point Android starts enforcing a logon method).

As a feature request it would be super nice if the Homey app could do this on its own without needing Fully, but I completely understand you guys probably have different priorities.

So I was wondering whether other Homey Dashboards users are seeing similar results or whether there might be something I can do to actually get this working. What I’m seeing right now is that the tablet won’t turn off any more after its been woken up.

Did you try using “Dashboard Controller” to turn it on/off?

Yes i also noticed that dashboards are not in your backups :frowning:

I did, but have yet to find the optimal solution it seems. Are you using it as well? Could you share you setup / flow(s)?

Is there a widget which show you all the temperatures of the sensors?

Like this

Now in the climate widget you can only select a thermostat but i would like to also show this kind of overviews

Since the Sonos integration does not work very well, I want to operate my Sonos using the “web framework”. is it possible to make this pop up at “almost” screen size?

I notice that by using widgets from the communtity that they not always updating the new value. Need to close down the homey app on the dashboard en open it again to update them.

I already reported this issue via Slack.
It happens if the app looses connection to Homey (e.g. display off, powersave).
Will be fixed in one of the next updates I think. Then app widget should be reloaded in that case.

Yes, add the ‘zone’ widget, scroll down to ‘controls’ and select ‘climate’

This will only show 1 button climate right? I want to show this directly as a widget so you can select temperature sensors which you want to show

Yes. Perhaps just try it, so you can see the result yourself :blush:.

Note that it uses the same selection as in the climate tile that you set on the Devices tab.

I just see 1 button with climate not a list of devices / rooms with the temperature. Only when you click on it

Update. I see i have to select the rooms first. Them climate! :innocent: thanks

Ah, you want to see the selected temp sensors directly in a list in the widget. That is indeed not possible via the standard climate tile/widget.

An alternative could be if you create a virtual device that includes your selection of temp sensors and then use the Enhanced Device Widget to show those in on your dashboard:
