[enhancement] More dashboards

Open BPC83 opened this issue 6 years ago • 5 comments

I would be great to be available to create more dashboards, and name them, like "ground floor" "first floor" "Heating" "lightning" And so on...

The idea behind the dashboard is that it shows usefull info for the location where the dashboard is mounted. More dashboards would clutter the UI imho.

Maybe you're right, and maybe iam not patient enough, over time I hope that you make it possible to controle thermostats and even RGB lights in the dashboard, in that case, a seperat screen to controle that will be great, so the main temperature is at the "home screen" and seperat panel fore heating controle...

Some things like Heating could be a separate plugin, with some info about the inside and outside temperature and thermostat controls.

It's a good idea to keep is as a clean, but i also agree with @BPC83

More dashboards can be seen in two ways, either on the same ipad/screen etc by swipe right or left to see a new dashboard or more ipads.

If we have many things to control and only one dashboard, then it would be awesome to have 1homeyda.sh in ipad 1 and 2homeyda.sh on ipad2.. and so on and all of them connected to the same Homey. This way you can have one Ipad/dashboard for groundfloor, a second ipad for first floor and a third Ipad/dashboard for garage..etc

If you do it the as different Ipads then it is kept clean but still we can have a nice UI and able to reach more functions. Sure we have the "devices" button, but it isn't user friendly and won't give a nice overview of for example a bunch of temperature sensors or cameras.

I think it would be great to add more dashboards. For me i to make a separate dashboard for controlling music.
