Hi, I have actions, sensors and batt on my solaredge app. Now I like to make sensors the default tab and not actions so you cannot make a mistake when you open the device and do some action. Thanks Edwin ---

It’s not currently possible as it is hard coded into the phone app as far as I know. ---

thanks but some devices do that , I see it on all my zwave ,zigbee smart socket plugs. so homey decided to do that also because I guess you don’t want to shut off by mistake. ---

I looked into it and also noticed some of my apps skip the buttons tab to show the status values. I have tried to figure out why but have no idea, so I asked Athom. Their reply was it is not possible. ---

Ah, a further update from Athom, the quick action tab is skipped when the device is opened. So if a button is defined as the Quick Action (the one that operates when the tile is taped) it is bypassed when the tile is opened. ---

yep, only works on boolean actions, maybe we can do a feature request.
