Android Widget Help Needed

[Graffix3001 (Steven)]

I myself have IOS and love the ability to be able to determine how many routines show up on my widget for SmartThings.
I am trying to setup a widget for my brother on his Android and was able to add the SmartThings widget but I don’t see any place that I can change how many of the actual routines show up on that widget. Is that possible with Android?

If you want to use the official widget, see:

Note that you have to reboot the phone before the widgets will show up.

Many people with android phones prefer to use the paid third-party app, sharptools, which gives you a lot more choices about widgets

How to use the new widget functionality?

I see the latest Android update claims to have widget support for setting triggering Hello Home actions, yay! However…I can’t figure out how to actually use the functionality. I don’t see a ST widget anywhere in the widget list, and I don’t see a way to create/assign an action to a widget from within the app itself, so…? Anyone get this to work?

Thanks for the reply. I got the widget on the Android I just don’t like how it is compared to IOS. I will look into Sharptools.

After installing it I like it much better. I can just create a widget for each routine and then create a folder to put them in. MUCH BETTER.
I’ll be spending a couple dollars to keep that feature.
