is not only data between SmartDash and Homey, also needs to go through Spotify trough the internet. But: what now? I can set polling to 5 sec ---

try to set 30sec or less. Polling homey fast is not a problem. If work i can study a workaround ---

Now I see what was mentioned yesterday: when start playing music when the image was empty, the Homey image is visible in 5 seconds, but the Speaker image is not visible within this period of time. Skipping to the next song, the image in Speaker widget is visible as fast the Homey image. Why not use the same logic in Speaker widget as has been done in Homey image (refresh frequency)? Another question: can I manage the layer order in de Speaker widget. Image in background and artist/title/buttons/volume slider in front? Now my image goes partly over the text. I think it has to do with the CSS commands order, but I can not figure out. ---

When a songs end and next song is playing, refreshing is very fast. It feels faster than with choosing next song in the widget itself 🤔 ---

Could you give some more background info? ---

Now when you interact with a widget and change a device capability, only the device is reloaded from homey. Previous all devices are polled ---

Now the Speaker image refresh is very fast. After the regular refresh (frequency) there is a small image refresh blink (minor issue). Are you doing the same for lights: send the on/off command to Homey, and an immediate get of the same device. After x seconds the regular refresh of all devices happens. Just interested. ---

> [@Amersfoort](#): > > Are you doing the same for lights: send the on/off command to Homey, and an immediate get of the same device. After x seconds the regular refresh of all devices happens. Just interested. The optimization is for all the widgets, only virtual button reload all (should, i need check the code) 👍 ---

You think a dropdown-list would be possible? Like: [https://docs.arduino.cc/arduino-cloud/cloud-interface/dashboard-widgets/#value-dropdown](https://docs.arduino.cc/arduino-cloud/cloud-interface/dashboard-widgets/#value-dropdown) My use-case is to use it for Spotify-app. For instance to choose an artist from the list. then it would be possible in Homey to start playing Spotify for the artist which was selected in the list. ---
