I have a couple of iPads mounted on walls in my home to control everything. But the App sometimes has updates. When it needs an update it needs to reboot. I can make rules for rebooting the app but then the app wil start in default mode. Is there a way to start the app in dashboard mode and pick the desired dashboard?

I am looking for exactly the same. Have not been able to find a solution so far. Anyone?
