[Tablet App - Devices-2] Homey Dashboards is finally here! :tada: Our team has truly outdone itself and shipped this grand new addition to the Homey app for iOS & Android. With many built-in widgets, an innovative column-based design that works great on both tablets and phones, a Widgets SDK for the Homey Developer Community and the same goodness for your homescreen — I’m super proud of Homey Dashboards. Creating your first Dashboard Phone On phones, navigate to More (...) → Dashboards to create your first dashboards. Alternatively, you can edit your homescreen by scrolling down and tapping ‘Customize’. This is a special homescreen dashboards that’s only accessible to you, and is saved on your phone. Tablet On tablets, navigate to Dashboards to create your first dashboards. Alternatively, you can edit your homescreen by scrolling down and tapping ‘Customize’. This is a special homescreen dashboards that’s only accessible to you, and is saved on your tablet. Pricing Homey Dashboards is included with Homey Pro (Early 2023) and Homey Cloud (Free and Premium). For Homey Pro (2016 — 2019) customers, Homey Dashboards will be available for a one-time fee of €25, similar to Advanced Flow. During the public beta, Homey Dashboards can be tested for free (as long as there’s room in iOS TestFlight). App Widgets This is for the Homey Community Developers, and it’s where the fun really starts. We’ve designed a Widgets SDK, that’s part of the Homey Apps SDK. Essentially, your Homey app can embed one or more widgets that users can choose from. Every widget is a small HTML/CSS/JS website with their own Web API. Ready to get started to create your first widget? Start by reading the documentation » To show what’s possible, here’s a widget for HUUM that I made last Friday, in just a few hours. Creating widgets is really that simple & powerful. [ScreenRecording_09-28-2024 14-55-49_1] Hall of Fame View all live apps with widgets » Frequently Asked Questions Does Homey Dashboards work locally? Homey Dashboards is part of the Homey app for iOS/Android, which works locally. So yes, if your device is part of the same Wi-Fi network as Homey Pro, Homey Dashboards does not need internet itself. But it doesn’t only work locally. You can view your dashboards from anywhere, and from any device! Why do I have to pay for Homey Dashboards as Homey Pro (2016—2019) owner? We believe that the previous generation Homey Pro is still powerful, and we just don’t like e-waste. However, we also need to put extra effort in supporting an older operating system, and that costs money. The easy way was to only publish Homey Dashboards on the current generation devices, but we feel we and the industry can do better than that, so we try to set an example. Will Homey Dashboards be coming to the Homey Web App? At this time we’d rather spend our time on building new features, than doing the same work again for web. Homey Dashboards is more performant on mobile devices, and we did expect some people to grab an old tablet from a drawer and expect it to work. If we made Homey Dashboards for web first, it simply wouldn’t have been as performant as it is now. Bugs & Problems If you encounter any issue, please let us know here in the thread!

@Nico_Tissink thank you for reporting, I made a fix for it :+1: Will be shipped after the weekend. cc @Rogier_Verheugen

ok thanks Peter, if it’s from HA I undestand. I was hoping it was from Homey…

The search bar is depended on the “tags” and I believe also the description that the app specifies, if the developer doesn’t specify that it has “widget” as option/text, then it won’t show. The filter (probably) looks at the “widget” piece of code is there in an app, like the widget previewer on the app’s page itself.

I was surprised that a guest user can see and use my Dashboards. This is great! I have encountered one issue, however. A guest user sees a “+Favorite Moods” link instead of the Favorite Moods list in my widget. When the guest clicks on that text, the Favorite Moods selection screen appears, Moods can be selected, reordered, and removed. There is no save button. The Back button returns to the Dashboard without saving the selections.

Hi mate, how did you get an overview tile for the number of doors open? Can you explain? Much appreciated.

@Harwin My app widget uses realtime events to push changed data from the app/devices to the widget. But after some time, these messaging is stopped. The Homey app stays active on the tablet (no energy saving), the screen goes off and is switched on via flow and Tasker app. How can I keep realtime events active? Is it needed to poll the app from time to time with api calls? Is this re-establishing the realtime (websocket?) connection? I can see this situation also in Homey app on the phone (main screen). When re-opening the app, the app widgets are in an old state and it seems they are nut refreshed. It needs a hard close of Homey app. On next start, the main screen is rebuild and widget are loaded again.

I put de widget kalender on mij dashboard but i get de massage no widget found what is the problem hou can i solved this.

any devs succeeded to show svgs in the widget? mine shows as a broken image and cant fix it on any way
