Look at this > [@Node Red: A widget based dashboard working with Homey trough MQTT](https://community.homey.app/t/node-red-a-widget-based-dashboard-working-with-homey-trough-mqtt/18798): > > I really wanted a dashboard in the wall to control everything I want.

I thought I could adjust my electric blinds, but sadly the slider didn’t work for … Or use the new web app [My Homey](https://my.homey.app/login) Both works great on an old iPad. ---
