These are the capabilities of my Sonos speakers: ![sonos](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/c/0cc4caca031a5f0ba268bf882ff2fd4e4567ad92.jpeg) ---

And again: another (hopefully small) wish: would it be possible to set a standard way to connect to Homey (local vs cloud). So this standard way will be used when starting SmartDash? Maybe a setting with choices: Local / Cloud / Choose at start ---

Is there a line Image in the part above the capabilities (just curious) ---

Nice suggestion, but if you set local, you canā€™t access to cloud if you donā€™t change the options. Same thing with cloud. If you donā€™t insert the cloud\_id, the app connect automatically to Homey (In a only local device cloud\_id is not necessary!). ---

But is that not how it works already? You have to restart the app to choose the connection? ---

You have to go in settings, change the options in cloud, save and restart. Every time you need change the connection type. I thought of two use cases: 1. SmartDash in a local only device, like NsPanelPro or a wall tablet. You donā€™t need to set the cloud\_id, and the app log-in automatically 2. SmartDash in a smartphone, you need cloud\_id for access system when you are away from home. When the smartphone is at home, it doesnā€™t matter how it connects ---

This is the only parameter containing the word ā€œimageā€. This number starting with 4b14 refers to the image which is used by HomeyImage widget. ![sonos2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/5/05f2afd3420594d18eb39f7e0d50093c2a445dc3.jpeg) There is a parameter ā€œCustom Iconā€ which contains value No on my device. ---

speaker\_duration and speaker\_position are related? ---

speaker\_duration = total length of the track/song in seconds speaker\_position = current playing position of the track/song in seconds. The refresh rate of Position seems to be low; only on pause and after (each?) 3 minutes. ---

Good looking widgets! Questions: - is this one widget and the lay-out differs depending on its dimensions ? - will the available buttons in widget (for example suffle play) depend on capabilities of the device? - how do you manage the playing progress with a low refresh rate of the Position parameter? - could you make the sliders for curtains/shades/screens as good looking? ---

Yes Yes If the refresh position is only every 3 min the position is updated every 3 min, no solution for it! Yes ---

I see the same. My height of the widget is 2, than it is less visible. With a height 3 or more you can see it better. ---
