OK what kind of dashboard is it? I have an A9 8.7 and it only gives me portrait layout, I so need a landscape setup
Some inspiration on what you can create using HTML in the Status Display widget from the Enhanced Device Widget app.
A dashboard to control your speakers, start playing favorite radiostations and show status info. And a dashboard with a TV remote, links to favorite streaming services and audio info.
Check out my tutorial on how to create a grid with clickable icons to start favorite radio/TV stations. The TV remote and speakers controls are based on the same building blocks as covered in the tutorial.
Did you enable AutoRotate on the A9? I get Landscape or Portait on my A9 with the Homey App.
It’s working again
Here is my Dashboard and also my first post 
.
Because of the great help, tips and trics i found on this community i feel like i owe it to the community to share my work.
I don’t really have any flows installed yet and it is still work in progress. The main idea was to have an always on display to show my electricity usage and to control my AC units.
obviously with all the possibilities this system has it is easy to link new items.
so here goes.
The sad thing is that Homey does not sell a pre configured dashboard, or there is no web based dashboard. so i had to be creative and this is the first thing where the community helped me with.
i did not want to plug a tablet in to a wall socket for the rest of its days because that is very bad for the battery.
I bought a raspberry PI 5 with 8gb of ram. and a 10.1” HD screen on amazon. the screen is powered through the raspberry PI5’s USB3.0 port. so i only needed 1 power cord. i have hidden the power cord behind the door thing ( i dont know the word for it in english ).
i made a wooden case for the display and the raspberry PI. i also found a button which i was able to connect to turn the screen on and off. i made some ventilation holes in the wooden case.
i Programmed the raspberry PI with Konstakangs lineage OS android 16. then i installed the google play store, through which i was able to install the Homey app.
with the FULLY KIOSK i am able to keep the screen on.
My Dashboard shows the weather, my AC units, some electricity sockets and a lamp. obviously the main thing is the power usage. then my RING alarm and on the right my ring doorbell.
I am extremely happy with how this worked out. also all the community apps are great.
it seems that new users are only able to post one picture. i will try to add more pictures.
Homey dashboard on a Shelly Wall display XL, still eagerly waiting for the official integrarion (@Doekse any update?)
For now used the method from @ifMike (thanks!). Enabling developer mode, installing Homey apk using ADB. Unfortunately Shelly disables the presence sensor when using anything else than the Shelly firmware. But I managed a work around using a Hue sensor and RPC webhook to turn the screen on and off.
Very satisfied for now! Device is blocked from the internet in router, only needed internet for a brief moment to verify Homey login.
(Due to privacy reasons I marked some agenda items and the title of the dashboard with a black color)
Looks great! How did you make the tiles for Gulvvarme with multiple attributes?
Hi @EdP
Looks awesome! Which app are you using with the countdown days for Spain and birthday/football club? I really like those widgets!
I think @EdP is using this one
I built them myself, with some help of Claude Code.
The Spain widget works as follows: In Homey, I fill a variable with the needed data (country, region, date). A homeyscript then searches for background images on pexels.com and writes al the data to a Github Gist. A HTML page then gets the data from the Gist and renders the widget. This page can be hosted on (for example) Netlify or Github Pages. In my case it’s hosted on my own NAS.
The calendar widgets are almost the same. A Homeyscript reads the Google Calendar data and posts them to a Gist. From there on it’s the same.
So it’s all really custom and for my own use.
The link that @smarthomesven shared, works the same. The only difference is that the World Cup schedule is static, so no Homeyscript is involved. I just put the schedule in a Gist, built the page on Github and published it using Netlify.
I’m using Gist because that way I can re-use the same data for different widgets. I also built a MacOS widget showing the same data and I built an iOS and Carplay widget to show the same data on my phone and in my car.
Nice widget for your dashboard:
Did you create the birthday widget the same way? Looking really clean!
Also, how did you make the status widgets? I also want to create something like that if the postman delivers something in my mailbox.
The status widgets are default variable widgets (text, numeric, boolean). Their status is set using normal flows.
I know this has been suggested plenty of times before, but Homey really needs native web based dashboards.
A web based dashboard would let us use inexpensive touch panels like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007863579173.html as dedicated room controllers, mounted where a standard light switch would normally go. They’d be perfect for controlling all the devices in a room from a single screen.
Yes, this particular device runs Android, so you could sideload the Homey app. But it’s only running Android 8, so the app would probably be pretty sluggish and not a great experience. There are also third party Homey dashboard apps, but I’d much rather have an official, out of the box solution that just works.
I reckon native web based dashboards would open up heaps of affordable hardware options and make Homey an even better choice for smart home control.
