Another helpful vid, Brian. Thank you!

[@AutomateYourLife]

Thank you!

[@jarletorresen]

Thanks! 👍🏻😀

[@AutomateYourLife]

You bet! Thank you!

[@luimak4470]

Love homey, much better than homeassistant

[@AutomateYourLife]

Glad you're enjoying it! It's certainly easier!

Thanks for the video. I’m still in migration so with SmartThings I had Actiontiles running on Kiosk app.. the my tablet would wake up based on movement in front of it. You didn’t cover setting up a tablet in this way or if it can. Is there a web or intranet(local) interface I could use in this fashion?

[@AutomateYourLife]

I've seen people talking about doing this very thing on the Homey forums. I believe you can do this but haven't done it myself yet

[@okezzeko]

Great video! What's the best way to implement an always-on (or tap-to-wake) dashboard for Android/iPadOS/Windows to mount on a kitchen wall? I have a power outlet, Wi-Fi, and want the device dedicated to this purpose.

[@AutomateYourLife]

I believe android with fully kiosk 😀

[@aMilling]

How come my dashboard has 3 columns? I would prefer to choose it. Like 2 or 4

[@AutomateYourLife]

It is usually dynamic based on the size of your device. Maybe that'll be a setting soon as I've seen a few people ask about this in the forum

[@michaelnielsen1492]

Add user access to allow some users to only see and use a specific dashboard, and not the Homey app :) In this way you can lock down access to children to specific dashboard for thier use....Ask Homey to do that function

[@AutomateYourLife]

@@michaelnielsen1492 I did as soon as I had the beta! 🤣🤣

[@michaelnielsen1492]

@ ask Them also to build an app for Apple TV 😀

[@tomek27m]

Czy to działa także pod windows ?

Hi Brian! Very helpful information. I’ve been building my dashboard too and it’s fun! But there is 2 things I can’t solve my buddy home present and eufy cameras. my buddy present can’t be detect by homey (only me)and after installed eufy app no view came out from that app. So if you can help with your video much appreciate it! Thanks

[@AutomateYourLife]

Yeah Eufy, I can't help with that one. It's either going to work or not on that one. It depends what cameras you have. Ring's working for me, but it drains the battery fast! As for your buddy, what I've been using is Smart Presence. That's IP based, so you just give a dedicated IP to your buddy's phone and it'll recognize everytime he shows up!

[@Hasmatix]

Can you make the url widget refresh like every 5 minutes?

[@AutomateYourLife]

There aren't settings for that so far. I imagine that'll come at some point. I don't believe you can do it through the URL either...but I hadn't looked that up

[@PlayerWellKnown]

Sadly they don’t seem to have shown up for me yet. I have the 2023 pro. My app is upt to date on both my iPad and iPhone, but nothing.

[@AutomateYourLife]

@@PlayerWellKnown some folks have been saying this to me today. Might just be a delay on apples store

[@PlayerWellKnown]

Yes I’m guessing so. Maybe they are releasing in batches. It’s weird getting a response from you whilst I’m still watching the video! Keep up the brilliant work.

[@Anonsbdofjrnwodb]

I just bought a C8 Pro Hubitat, I really can’t decide between Hubitat Homey or Home Assistant. I’m so lost

[@AutomateYourLife]

There's no wrong answer. Just go with one of those!

[@shawnb34]

Must be missing something right from the get go. I have a homey pro 2023 and on my iPhone when I go to more I do not have that dashboard.

[@AutomateYourLife]

@@shawnb34 update your app maybe?😀

[@martinus83]

Do you have the latest (9.0.0) homey app?

[@martinhansen2797]

Cant you use a PC?

[@AutomateYourLife]

I am, I'm using Bluestacks to emulate Android there. :)
