Dashboard - am I missing something?

[peter.major]

Hi all.

I’m fairly new to ST. Got a bunch of lights and a few other devices and some virtual devices too.

For the Android app… My first tab dashboard only has one thing on it “Smart Home Monitor - unconfigured”.

Can I add my most used things to my dashboard as a less cluttered Things list?

At the moment, the whole tab seems a bit useless. Its only got one thing on it and I never click on it.

Am I missing something obvious about how to use the dashboard?

Currently, that is the only thing on the dashboard, unless you have some carryover from the old app. There is supposed to be additional functionality added in the future there. Under the mail screen, you at least have the rooms area where you can group your devices along with the full things list

Smartthings give me back my dashboard and shortcuts

I use to love to be able to look at the dashboard and see if some lights are on if there’s motion, if all my doors are locked closed etc. Now the only thing on the dashboard is the short cut to smart home monitor its really pointless. The other big grip is yes it’s automation but I’d like to still easily turn on groups of lights with shortcut and you took the ease of that away. I don’t want to have to create a routine when it use to be so easy. Anyway it really bums me out, I was so excited about the new hub and after reinstalling all of my devices and locks I find this out. It was like a kick in the jewels and a ha ha got yah. Please fix this only Apple assumes they know what’s best and refuses to fix their mistakes.

Please bring back the original dashboard (Things Tile View)

The original dashboard view was the one thing I used 99% of the time I used the app. In one screen I could tell the status of lights, temperature, doors etc. Now I have to go to the Dashboard/Things and scroll up and down all the time. Why is a large portion of the screen real estate wasted to show the Mode? Please bring back the original dashboard. [image]

We are all “missing something”

I too like to see a real dashboard, where, we can customize the view, on what we want to see at a glance, and what we want to turn on and off. Please have a dashboard, that works.

How about SmartTiles.click?

Yes SmartTiles is looking good, wish mobile platform it self mimic something like that, rather than a dashboard , which is not a dashboard.

The SmartThings “Dashboard” pane is a placeholder for many, as yet unpublished, “Solution Modules”.

It’s a shame we have to wait for them; but, then again, with the product being still rather unstable, it’s best that new features are embargoed for a while.

Just like Community / 3rd party developed SmartApps and Device Handlers, I expect that SmartThings will come up with ways for Community Developed “Solution Modules” to be integrated into the mobile App. Someday.
