How to create my own tiles

Apps
1

There are ways to import apps, tiles, flows and AVD’s that others has created.

But how can I create my own tile to show and behave exactly how I want?

The dashboard of Homey has 3 different layouts which let’s you toggle between how much information to show in each tile you have.

How about to start with a fresh one and bind in the values you need?
This can be only to show a stack of information, like a small dashboaord where you bind in the values you already have from a flow or a device.

This is a Shelly 1 device that shows me 6 different lines of information in 1 tile.

Looking like this on the dashboard:

Looking like this when I click on it:

How can I create this from scratch and is it possible to make these tiles larger?

I don’t know if I understand your needs right, but with the app Device Capabilities you are able to create your own devices/tiles like your samples from scratch.

What’s not possible is to make these tiles larger, because it’s implemented in Homey I guess.

Thank you!

I haven’t testet to make my own tile with that app, just imported from others.
When I do that, by some reason the tile is not changing as it should.

But I could try to do it myself with that app.
Is there a tutorial to how that app works and how to do it yourself?
