Just submitted a new app to the app store to manage your light & socket devices.

Layout is simular to the [Battery Monitor](https://apps.athom.com/app/nl.hdg.battery) & [Temperature Monitor](https://apps.athom.com/app/nl.hdg.climate) apps.

Hey

I think the next you should is combine the new lights and temp app in one! Think that would be cool… Along with whatever else you playing with

Hello,

this app doesn’t works anymore on my side. Could somebody check that with his own homey please and let me know the result?  
Error: I go to the settings-page and then to the “lights & sockets” button and then only the “search…” text is displayed.

app-url: [https://apps.athom.com/app/nl.hdg.lights](https://apps.athom.com/app/nl.hdg.lights)  
installed app-version: 2.0.7  
homey version: 2.1.1

thank you

When searching for the app in the app store, it doesn’t show when typing “Lights and Sockets”

```auto
"tags": {
  "en": [
    "Lights and Sockets Monitor"
  ]
}

```

@viix @Itchy - the group app has stumbled across a bug which apparently will be fixed in the ‘next release’ - I imagine that @HarriedeGroot apps work in a similar way and also maybe having the same issue.

Maybe I’ve missed something, but is there any way to access & use this app without going through the whole Homey-app -\> … -\> Apps -\> Lights & Sockets Monitor -\> Configure?

I’d really like to have it as an app of it’s own, or display it on the first page in the Homey app or something similar with easy to use and access.

Same here, would love to access these genius apps from the main screen.

For now I use this alternative (faster) route: more \> settings \> lights & sockets monitor.
