Was more a question about why not set the variable from the Dashboard to the number of the panel?

In that case if my panel 2 gets activated from within SmartDash I can automatically set it back in Homey to panel 2 by means of a flow.

wait.  
i polling homey variable. if they is 1,2,3,4,5,6 i switch to panel. I need to reset the variable because if i manual change the panel with toolbar button, SmartDash polling the variable and find the value \> 0 and re-active the panel. How do I understand if the value found in variable is the previous or a new ?

My simple answer would be: check if it changed from within Homey and only then change the panel 🙂 But you are the developer 🙂 If not possible no worries 🙂 It is me being very lazy anyway. Probably I will stop staring at panel 2 anyway after some time 😁 😁

It could have been done but Homey don’t sent the update timestamp for the variable… 😅

```auto
{
    "id": "5ce4122e-14a7-4716-ba10-c93477e110a5",
    "name": "Panel test",
    "type": "number",
    "value": 0
}

```

The type of variable should be modified in text and adding a json with the expire time for panel change.  
It wouldn’t be bad either

Small problem; I added a virtual button with a variable (on my test device). Tried to clean up my test environment. And so wanted to remove this widget. But I removed the variable from Homey first. Now it does not open the settings for the widget. When I want to use the widget is says that variable does not exist (which is good of course).

But would like to be able to change or remove the widget.

Good first step being able to change the system fontsize.  
Next step: make the setup forms responsive for a better usage of the screen space. Smaller (phone) and larger (tablet landscape) screens can use the same screens, using 1 or 2 columns.

Remarkable: lowering the system font size also shows a smaller font for the end-user button bar. Does the button bar need a CSS option too?

Example on my Samsung tablet still with 25 pt font with not that efficient usage of screen space:
