> [@Tiwas](#): > > hevigeesneeuw Looks like a typo 😅 it’s hevigesneeuw Oh the icons with an equal name but with a trailing `n` are called at nighttime. But I don’t think translating it will work for 100%, while the weather descriptions in Norsk or English can differ from the literal translations. You’ll find out when there’s no icon: check the description @ my.homey.app and rename a matching weather icon. @Tiwas When you still need it, these are the descriptions used by Openweathermap and Homey: en: name: English description: 200: thunderstorm with light rain 201: thunderstorm with rain 202: thunderstorm with heavy rain 210: light thunderstorm 211: thunderstorm 212: heavy thunderstorm 221: ragged thunderstorm 230: thunderstorm with light drizzle 231: thunderstorm with drizzle 232: thunderstorm with heavy drizzle 300: light intensity drizzle 301: drizzle 302: heavy intensity drizzle 310: light intensity drizzle rain 311: drizzle rain 312: heavy intensity drizzle rain 313: shower rain and drizzle 314: heavy shower rain and drizzle 321: shower drizzle 500: light rain 501: moderate rain 502: heavy intensity rain 503: very heavy rain 504: extreme rain 511: freezing rain 520: light intensity shower rain 521: shower rain 522: heavy intensity shower rain 531: ragged shower rain 600: light snow 601: snow 602: heavy snow 611: sleet 612: shower sleet 615: light rain and snow 616: rain and snow 620: light shower snow 621: shower snow 622: heavy shower snow 701: mist 711: smoke 721: haze 731: sand,dust whirls 741: fog 751: sand 761: dust 762: volcanic ash 771: squalls 781: tornado 800: clear sky 801: few clouds 802: scattered clouds 803: broken clouds 804: overcast clouds nl: name: Dutch description: 200: onweersbui met lichte regen 201: onweersbui met regen 202: onweersbui met zware regenval 210: lichte onweersbui 211: onweersbui 212: zware onweersbui 221: onregelmatig onweersbui 230: onweersbui met lichte motregen 231: onweersbui met motregen 232: onweersbui met zware motregen 300: lichte motregen 301: motregen 302: zware motregen 310: lichte motregen/regen 311: motregen 312: zware motregen/regen 313: stortbuien en motregen 314: hevige stortbuien en motregen 321: zware motregen 500: lichte regen 501: matige regen 502: zware regenval 503: zeer zware regenval 504: extreme regen 511: koude buien 520: lichte stortregen 521: stortregen 522: zware stortregen 531: afwisselende stortbuien 600: lichte sneeuw 601: sneeuw 602: hevige sneeuw 611: ijzel 612: lichte ijzel 620: lichte sneeuw 621: natte sneeuw 622: hevige sneeuw 701: mist 711: mist 721: nevel 731: zand/stof werveling 741: mist 751: zandstorm 761: mist 762: vulkanische as 771: rukwinden 781: tornado 800: onbewolkt 801: licht bewolkt 802: half bewolkt 803: zwaar bewolkt 804: geheel bewolkt ---

For mye use, that’s expensive 🤣 But…if it’s one free dashboard you might get me hooked! I’ve logged in now, and would be happy to give it a god 🙂 ---

Another option: I use HomeKitty to publish devices to Homekit. Then I use the App HomeDash as Dashboard on an old i Pad mounted to the wall. I don‘t really use Homekit other than that there is plenty Dashboard software available for Dashboard ---

Thanks, but my home’s apple free, so that won’t work for me 🙂 ---

That dashboard looks great! Do you mind explaining step-by-step how you did this? ---

There are already several guides on how to do this on this forum, so I won’t make another one. Just search for ‘dashboard home assistant’. Still, I will provide a short description of my setup. My dashboard is made using Home Assistant that I have installed on a raspberry pi. Homey sends my devices to Home Assistant through MQTT, and from there I setup my dashboard cards on Home Assistants user interface (Lovelace). It’s actually pretty straight forward. A few elements on my dashboard are not Homey based and are added directly to Home Assistant. For instance the weather card. I have found that pretty much anything I can imagine putting on my dashboard, someone else has already done it, and there are instructions on home assistants forums or somewhere on the great big internet on how to accomplish it. How you set up your dashboard will most likely differ from how I set up mine, since we probably don’t have the same smart home devices and other equipment. Still. The design is simply home assistant with my chosen theme, so if you set it up this way, you will be able to get a dashboard that looks similar to mine. ---

I “moved” from Homey2019 to Homey2023 and want to get my dashboard working again. But I’m already failing because I don’t know how to generate a token at the moment. So far I was able to read the token by calling the URL: [https://homey.ink](https://homey.ink) / F12 key / selection: developer mode / console and then with the call: [http://Homey](http://Homey) local:5080/cordash/app/?theme=web&lang=de&token=Token start the dashboard. However, the token is currently no longer displayed in any browser. Here I am now and don’t know what to do next. Maybe someone can tell me how to get the dashboard running again or how to get a token for the dashboard. ---

All good and working. When you “brood over” something for too long. I simply forgot to log in to the site: [https://homey.ink/](https://homey.ink/) before calling up the console with F12. ---

I tried setting this up. Got everything connected, but HA wouldn’t automatically update. If I did a manual broadcast, everything would sync up just fine - just not if I let it do its job by itself. How and where did you install the different parts of the mqtt? ---

I stopped using home assistant for my dashboard because of this reason. Wouldn’t update through mqtt. I was not able to fix it. So I started using sharp tools instead. You can see my new dashboard in this post: > [@Sharptools Dashboard / Homey](https://community.homey.app/t/sharptools-dashboard-homey/54768/8): > > My dashboard created with Sharptools. Probably the best dashboard option for Homey today. Easy to learn, and lots of possibilities. ---

Someone in the MQTT Hub app topic, pointed me to these settings, and the problems are gone. It might help on a Pro 2023 as well!
