Easy question with difficult answer?

As a newby with Homey, I was trying to find:

- A virtual device on which I can display a text and/or a number
- Place it on a dashboard
- Edit the value/text when needed

I have been looking for it for days. I expected it to be a stand something in Homey, but it is not?

I want to use it to put times and temperatures in it to make a week schedule for heating.

I tried Advanced device capabilities. But it is complicated and then have a large tile with only one value. Takes up u lot of room if I want 4 to 6 switch points per day and have several wee schedules like fore season - mid season - high season, and then 4 heating appliances to switch on or off.

If I could only do something like

Time Temperature dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4

08:00 20 X X X

12:00 21 X X

18:00 22 X X

22:30 17 X X X X

Can you help me, or steer me in the right direction?

Does it have to be a virtual device with displayed values, or is just a display in the dashboard sufficient?

If just a display in the dashboard is sufficient, you may check this Widget App:

> **[Widget Forge | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.pascalnohl.widgetforge/Widget-Forge/)**
>
> Flow- and tag-driven independent widgets

The various heating schedules themselves can be set up using Flows or other Homey apps.

Info:  
I haven’t tried the Widget Forge app myself yet, so my suggestion might not be appropriate.
