All things on at a glance

I created a virtual device called “House” that shows me switches on, contacts open, doors unlocked. You can see screenshots here:

Dashboard - ridiculous

I share your pain. I finally had the idea of creating a virtual switch that I call 1-house so it appears at the top and then I have a SmartApp that monitors specific devices and updates this virtual switch. Here are a few screen shots. Also search the community for simple device viewer. I use it too to monitor batteries but I find it inconvenient to go to SmartApps to view status versus just going to Things. [image] Then if I scroll down, more detail: [image]

Here is the code:

@jerzydiver Sorry for the delay, I have uploaded my code to my Git repository: I attempted to automate the creation of the virtual device required as I have done in other SmartApps, but I keep getting a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException error every time I attempt to call the addChildDevice API method. So unfortunately this solution will require a few extra steps to implement: Login to the IDE Go to My Device Handlers and create a new device handler leveraging the code in Git. Go to My Devices and Create a new device and set the type to “Location Status” Go to My SmartApps and create a new SmartApp leveraging the code in Git Install the Location Status SmartApp via your mobile device and then set the devices you wish to monitor You system may not have an Alarm so feel free …
