Hi, is there an app to create tiles which just show some information or a status. I have a countdown timer in the background and would like to show its time left in a tile on the home screen? Is there anything existing? Or any workarounds?

Johannes

+1  
As well as the possibility to add (via an option) standard values that are already being reported by the device, but not show i the tiles.

Currently there are no workarounds available except for homeydash having a few options. Never the less, this has been a feature request for quite some time now. What you could do is to actually send it to athom as a feature request.

I created a workaround for me. Made a flow which writes the information in the timeline and then added this flow to the favorites. Not nice, but better than nothing 😀
