Possible to display larger amount of text in new Smartthings App?

So, you are using the DTH to visualize the routines config or you also send commands to that device?
I can think of two workarounds that can help you out. Let me know your thoughts.

  1. Use a Groovy SmartApp to obtain and display the routine’s value. (this is part of the legacy platform).
    Since you are receiving the value in the custom capability, in the sample below, I used the preferences config to show in a paragraph element its value once the device is selected.

  1. Create a SmartApp using the SDK. (getting started tutorial)
    This one is similar but it needs to be installed for the capability value display.

If the routines’ value can be queried directly through a REST API, you can do it in both options.
