I use the Homey app on multiple devices: iPhone, iPad, MacBook.. I have to recreate and update my homescreen every time I make a change. Then I had to restore my Homey from backup and had to recreate my homescreens again. Can you make a feature to transfer home screens to other devices? I don’t want to use dashboards because they are not as easy to get to, plus you lose the tabs on the bottom to switch to devices or settings tab.

You are not using ‘Favorite’ devices for your home screen? They normaly apear on all your screens.

Hi there, thanks for your comment. Yes, I am using Favorite devices, but there are so many other widgets you can use to create a great Home Screen (flows, speakers, sensors, etc).. it shouldn’t just be limited to one set of devices. I even have a widget of devices that are just lights.

You can also create a Dashboard, and add the Dashboard buttons to the home screens. You only need to click that button to enter the dashboard, and dashboards do get synced across users and multiple devices

Ah yes I know about dashboards.. I don’t like that I have to close the dashboards in order to flip to Devices or Energy tabs.
