All about Homey.ink on a tablet or desktop. To run it locally ([source from github](https://github.com/athombv/homey.ink)): ``` npm i -g serve git clone https://github.com/athombv/homey.ink.git cd homey.ink serve -p 5000 app ``` U can also download [the files from github](https://github.com/athombv/homey.ink) and run it on ur own server. [How to get the token](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-ink-an-e-ink-homey-dashboard/12367/8). Credits goes to @robertklep! After u retrieved the token u fill in the adress like this: For running local u choose: [http://localhost:5000/?token=](http://localhost:5000/?token=)&theme=web When running from a server u choose: http:IPADRESS/app/index.html?token=&theme=web U can also run Homey.ink online at [https://app.homey.ink/?token=&theme=web](https://app.homey.ink/?token=%3CTOKEN%3E&theme=web) With this last link u CANNOT adjust any of the CSS files, it’s the online version. When adding favorite devices or flows in ur mobile app they appear on Homey.ink. For now only boolean devices are accepted. So no temperature devices f.e. Just on/off devices! To make different dashboards on different Ipad’s just add a new user to ur Homey. Retrieve a new token with this user and select favorite devices. ---

To hide the adress bar on an Ipad add the following lines to the head section of the index (if they are not already there): ``` ``` After that, load the page on ur Ipad.

This is so cool. Some more work and it will be a very nice dashboard (here it only shows 3 of my favorite devices, all of them are “virtual”, the other favorite devices are not shown) ---

So delete the shortcut u made earlier and put it on the homescreen again. Black bar on top is gone! ![after](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/e/e9c3325c96a1821dc6444a9a40f3c1625e17e636.jpeg) There is a bug in the latest IOS that prevents this from working so first check the IOS version!! ---

And another tip: U can change the order of ur favorite devices on ur mobile app and then the order will change on Homey.ink also! Same goes for the flows ofc. ---

No offense @Rocodamelshekima but your weather icons (while very cool) hurt my eyes. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/b/bf3c8bdd322eb8963aeb1885079b90342a7c0f3c.png) They are 26 svg so you should be able to change their colours. > **[StrykerSKS/SmartThings](https://github.com/StrykerSKS/SmartThings/tree/master/smartapp-icons/ecobee/orig)** > > My SmartThings Folder.

Picked after a quick google not perfect but anything has got to be better then his current one 😛 Out of curiosity, are you able to put the (for example) the sunrise/set on the right side under the HomeyInk icon? I am very keen to have a play with HomeyInk but am too busy for another week or two ☹ 😭 ---

I agree, the ones @Rocodamelshekima choose really S@ck B@lls 🤣 Yes, you can put it anywhere you like, not dynamically but by changing a css style. I’m also adding an info panel so you can click on the weather to get more weather details and on the text to get an overview of notifications. I also want to add an indicator that will only show when there’s a device with a battery warning, clicking on it will shows full info on the device with the battery warning. ---
