Some time ago the sizes in the android homey app were just a bit smaller fitting 4 or 5 icon columns on my screen. now I only get three, which takes way more space and reduces the overall visibility.
Is there a way to set the size of icons in the homey app so I can fit more on the screen? would be great if that is user selectable. While we are at is, it I would also like to fit more text in a tile (as some names of tiles are a bit longer). any way to do that?
Yeap,
but whatever the change in size font/display the app now only displays 3 tiles/row.
This drives mme nut since I have to scroll and scroll in order to access my devices.
I really hope Athom will make the number of tiles/row configurable
As Bouke already answered you on Slack, it depends on the device screen resolution. Not the physical resolution of the display, but the resolution available/useable for apps.
I think a variable size would cause other issues like wrong icon size, wrong text size, overlapping text etc. Not easy to handle if you have a lot of resolution and text size variants.
Nope.
As I showed to Harwin Borger on slack, I have more than the minimum required screen resolution for the app (ie 560 while the min is 512) and it does no longer work though I enjoyed having 4 tiles until the last update without any problem.
Those tiles are really huge and should be shrunk by half imho
By the end of the week we ship an update to the Beta version of the Mobile App which might influence the amount of device tiles you will see.
We build in a new mechanism which let the device tiles scale based on the set font-size of the mobile. This works both ways: if you have a smaller font, than you see more devices tiles, if you have a larger font you will see less device tiles.
I am curious if this update makes your situation any better. Please let me know!
Not a nice addition! Normally, I have the text on my iPad set to a large size. Now I’m forced to reduce it because I find the tiles in the Homey Dashboard too large. The size of the tiles should be adjustable individually in the Homey settings.
