We just purchased the Homey Pro to consolidate control over our smart devices. We have Philips hue, LIFX, Ubiquiti cameras and plan to get some Ikea sensors. I just started trying to make dashboards but perhaps im a software version behind becuase the instructions seem to show a prominent Dashboard button/tab. But it seems to be 1) buried in menus in the app (not helpful at all) and 2) doesn’t exist on the web/home interface. Maybe I’m using this all wrong. But a handy dashboard for everything shouldn’t be 3 clicks deep in an app, and missing entirely from the web app, right ? (and also the online guide should match the user experience UX) ---

Welcome! 1. On tablets the Dashboard tab is visible in the bottom bar in the app. On phones, its under “More”. 2. Dashboards do not exist in the web app unfortunately. ---

To add to @BasMilius his post: - On a phone Dashboards are located under the More tab (thee dots); - The home page on a mobile device (phone/tablet) is also a dashboard (though specific for that device). ---

Thank you for the replies so quickly! Yes, we were able to navigate to the More menu, then Dashboards, then select the Dashboard. Then you can toggle lights or view cameras etc. This is 4 clicks/taps to do anything! (Add phone unlock and open app for a total of 6 interactions) We just bought a house, and this Homey which is not cheap, with the goal of having one convenient control center for everything. I’m just saying I sold the wife on an easy and efficient user experience, but it’s definitely not. All the reviews and videos and media certainly don’t show this detail. It is, however, possible to fix. ---

Nothing is simpler then a simple physical light switch! ---

You also have the option to add several Homey widgets directly on your phone’s/tablet’s home screen. E.g. a widget with buttons that start flows (e.g. a flow that switches on all lights in a room). If you have an iPhone/iPad you can also start flows/create home screen buttons to flows using the iOS’ Shortcuts app. Of course, in all cases you need to create those flows/moods once in Homey. I think the dashboard that is displayed on the home screen of the Homey app is the one that you can access with the least amount of taps (1 to open the Homey app). So you could place your most frequently used items there. ---

You can add dashboard buttons to the home screen as well. ![Screenshot_20260402_174452_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/a/bad0dbfc480348b4d2ee32a59f05cfa9de24bb16.jpeg) ---

So, the ability to access any given dashboard has to be added to every resident’s favorite or home page, correct ? ---

Yes, the dashboard buttons need to be added to each resident’s home page. ---

To add to the above: the home page is device specific, not user/account specific. So you can/need to customize the homepage of each phone/tablet. ---

With all the advertising how cool dashboards are this is not at all what I expected or hoped for. Thanks for the answers anyways folks. Much appreciated. ---

ore you can run the dashboard in kiosk mode then the app wil start on the dashboard page if you open the app. ---

I also find it annoying that the dashboards does not work in the web version. Here is a request thread for web based dashboards: > [@\[Request\] Web interface](https://community.homey.app/t/request-web-interface/117072): > > Although it has been mentioned by Emile that currently there will be no effort made for a Dashboard management on web I think it’s essential to have a complete experience on all devices. I always understood that Advanced Flows on a phone would be “too hard to do” from a user experience end-point. But forcing me to go to my.homey.app changed my way of thinking… Adding devices, changing the “devices page”, managing app and device settings and creating advanced flows is all so much easier on web …
