I’ve tried searching for this, but could not find anything related. Would be great if we can add tiles that would jump directly to another dashboard.

Like a widget that when pressed switches to another dashboard? So you can basically build your own navigation within your dashboards?

yes IMHO this is clearly a must have. The only way (that I can think of) to have a context based UI.  
You obviously do not need the same controls depending on what you are trying to do.  
But maybe the Homey team has a different approach to optimizing the user experience, if so could their share it with us?

For me having multiple dashboards works well for the person who has created them, but can be very confusing for most users.

Thanks

Space enough in the topbar. This is what i made in my node red dashboard

A nice way to implement this and also add a lot of other flexibility and integration options could be for the Homey mobile app to implement a URL schema like homey:dashboard?name=my\_dashoard. This is possible on iOS and I think also Android and it would then make it trivial to implement links that jump to a particular dashboard - and those links could be implemented literally anywhere you can put a clickable URL, so in notifications in any app, in notes or calendar events, emails, web pages and of course homey dashboards.

Since they use react native under the hood this should be fairly easy to implement and I have asked for this forever (as I would also like something like `homey://devices/<id>` etc) and even here [Homey Dashboards — Public Beta Megathread - #203 by staeff](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-dashboards-public-beta-megathread/116963/203) but it was always ignored

It’s confirmed on the latest episode of the Homey podcast that they’re working on a way to switch between dashboards!

Yes I saw that and am very happy about it. Even better if we can create deep links to dashboards from any app on the device. There’s already a press and hold context menu for dashboards in the list on the dashboards tab. Just needs an extra option “copy link” using a custom url scheme.

It would be pretty nice if we could have a widget that “navigate” to an other Dashboard…

Like on my main dashboard there would be a Buch of those widgets that send me to my Bedroom Dashboard, or to my Kitchen Dashboard etc. With custom icon for rooms and maybe room temperature or “activities”

Hi @Martin_Pare

 ![1000008380](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/a/ea63f967ce92fbedc5b797d74e398af8492a1a4b.jpeg)

Update your mobile app via the playstore (android) to 9.1.0.1653. I belief IPhone lovers have to be patient.

Thanks and Yeah, still not an option on IOS devices 😉 But still they could keep the same square UI like a device (so we can add icons) and even add the option to have it as a Favorite!

+1, as @staeff is mentioning in this thread it should not be that difficult and it would be nice if you could assign a dashboard an icon, so when you use the dashboard widget, it will show the different icons.
