Might need some finetuning.

1. I think local access is a highly needed and appreciated improvement, but why is Homey the only app / site which shows these horrible white “floodlight” screens during loading? My tablet is on dark mode 24/7.  
Is it possible to use a black background by default?

2. New tablet, new Pro 2026 (LAN connected), poor performance…  
I also think the animated background is too much load for Homey. Let us choose a simple black background please?

3. Every time I return to the browser app on a tablet, I need to login again. Even when it’s a few seconds. Very safe, but ridicoulous and unworkable imho.

It makes me use the cloud web app again 🫣

Please add an auto-logout setting, to give us a choice for, like, 1h, 4h, 8h or 24h
