Hi, please check the code above. There is a line with “device.makeCapabilityInstance”. This registeres an event handler. When the capability in Homey devices is changed, the Dashboard will execute the code inside the { } brackets.  
There you can change your div-element.

Here is another example where I change the color of the displayed temperature when the thermostate temperature is changed:

> Hello again, thanks Danee, it’s working now. I’ve also seen that I had to give the value elements the id (value+device+capability) to get an auto updated value using your renderValues() method. I just insert the thermostate code here, so can take some parts if you need it. There is a small extention for the coloring of values. The value itself is changed by renderValues(), the color is changed inside the additional makeCapabilityInstance codes - inserted here to pevent changing the code on m…

I think that is what you wanted to do. Good luck 🙂

I use HomeyDash on an old Ipad3 mounted on the wall. I use it on the internal battery. No wires needed. After some minutes not using the screen of the Ipad go to standby and the screen is off. That’s fine. After pushing the on switch the HomeyDash app is directly visible but without actual data. Some lights are switched on with a sensor but in Homeydash the lamp is off for example. After closing HomeyDash an restarting it the problem is solved. btw I don’t use the PI version.

What is a good solution for this problem? For example a (hidden) refresh button.

You must re-add the token. I think it expires or so.

First of all; thanks for developing the dashboard and the manual to install it on a RPi.

It runs on a Pi3 with the iPad theme.  
I’ve copied the code for the inside temperature section and converted it for a solar heater.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/2/e2f98c2679585b8cae9c1180c2b7bf37ecb44bdb.jpeg)

Just because I’m literally in front of the screen, I just want to have a quick look to check the solar temperature on the roof. That’s why it’s in the top left corner, permanently visible.

First of all thanks for the dashboard. I’ve installed it on my rpi. It looks like this:

good evening everyone  
I followed the tutorial to the letter to install homeydash on a raspberry. BUT on the end of the installation I have this error:  
ERROR: Cannot copy to clipboard: Command failed xsel --clipboard --input xsel: can’t open display: (null)  
: inappropriate ioctl for device

Do you know what I could have missed?  
thank you in advance

Am i right that the editable version of the dashboard here, isnt available on the nest hub (as the hub uses the online version?) Is it possible to run it locally somewhere and send it to the nest hub?

When it’s too hard for u to run a server and fix some css files urself then i would suggest to use the online version. It comes with some restrictions ofc but it’s easy to use.

I have the online version, but I really miss the option to see temperatures, percentages, colors and stuff like that on the tiles. I ll try my best. Thanks so far! If i succeed, I ll make a small donation 👍

Just hit and hold the tile and you can get any info on it that is supported (temperature, power, humidity…)
