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: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/d/dddaa75691f957f836f681925bcf53e32552001c.png) Looking like this when I click on it: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/7/77929f87bbe685eeb87c107165fe62c0535e6106.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/d/2da65e0f0bd43fdac3e94c1cf4f0eebff277302e.png) 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? ---
