Hi all,

New user to Homey here, so please excuse me if this is a silly question, BUT…

I have some motorized blinds that I linked using a community app for Tuya cloud devices. They are recognized as blinds in Homey, and if I press and hold on the device a second window pops up with a slider to set the desired position (from 1 to 100%).

I am trying to set up an old tablet to be a “control panel” for our home as my roommates hate using Alexa to trigger everything, but whenever I add one of the blinds to a dashboard, I can only get it to appear as a button and I (like on the devices tab) have to press and hold to get the slider to pop up.

Is there a way to embed that slider within a widget on the dashboard? Or, ideally, create one slider that controls a group of blinds (I just downloaded the “group” app, but am having a similar problem getting a slider to show up).

Thanks in advance!

I think this should be possible with the following app:

> **[Enhanced Device Widget](https://homey.app/de-de/app/ady.enhanced_device_widget/Enhanced-Device-Widget/)**
>
> Fügen Sie Gerätewidgets mit mehreren Funktionen hinzu
