I just discovered that dashboard link tiles don't work using the android app on my Samsung. Tap on the tile and nothing happens. Annoying! Using 2.2.4.141

Edit: didn't notice that @jabecker had already reported this

Same. Plus, in my web-browser I get: "Dashboard Link Tile only work with Legacy Dashboards links"

Didn't make any difference for me. I even tried creating a new one and it still gives me the message "Dashboard Link Tile only work with Legacy Dashboards links".
I think I'm just going to wait for things to get sorted out.

I believe any new link tiles may need to be created using a Link tile instead of the Dashboard Link tile.

at the bottom of each dashboard app (child) there's a Legacy Link.. use that.

If you modified your dashboards to use the NEW Link Template, you need to revert them back to Dashboard Links template.

THEN, to view a Dashboard, use that Legacy link to get to one of the Dashboards. The Tiles should now work again. I am not sure, but I think the underlying URL changed and if you have a saved shortcut, you may need to update.

The iOS App shows "Dashboard Link Tile only work with Legacy Dashboards links".

I have NOT modified my dashboards.

Mine don't work either. Refreshed browser, closed, open, waited etc etc

You raise a good point. Any update should not by design break things that are already functional. For me, I needed to change 20 dashboard link tiles, it took about 20 minutes. Although, I agree this shouldn't happen when doing an update, one can hardly call this a major problem. If you were to list all the features of Hubitat in a list starting from most important to least important. A dashboard link tile would probably fall somewhere between 2000 - 4000. Obviously higher for some users, lower for others.

I’m not sure if this belongs here or if it’s already in another topic. I tried to make a new dashboard just to play with the dashboard links and seem to have another issue. Currently running 2.2.4.141 BTW. When I create a new dashboard and select “Manually Add Tiles” or “Auto Fill Grid 9 x 1” I get the following.


This happens with Chrome and Edge. When I tried EI it never opened after clicking “Add New Dashboard”. Then I can't add any Devices.

You need to go to the Child App for the Dashboard and check the devices you want to be available. Believe the default at one time may have been to allow all, but now it's allow none.

Thank You. Never had to do that before.

trying to understand exactly what you mean.

I too am suddenly (after the recent upgrade) having this "no devices authorized" issue when trying to add a new tile to a dashboard.

Goto dashboards under the app page and click on each dashboard there (not the dashboards page).
Previously it automatically allowed all devices which is bad becuase it creaetes much more load on the system as everytime a dashboard comes up it has to pass the data from all the devices.

You previously could under the apps/dashboard change the options and select which specific devices are passed to each dashboard.

Now the default has changed apparently (as i have not upgraded yet) so the default is not ALL any longer.. this is good in the long run. But you need to goto the app/dashboard name and specify which devices are available for each dashboard.

However , they really need to totally redesign this interface as now it is very non-intuitive to create a new dashboard.

First you create a new dashboard from the dashboard pages but if i am internpreting this correctly nothing will work as it has no devices.. Before it will work you have to goto the apps find the new dashboard change the permissions for which devices it has access to, and then go back to the new dsahboard you just created to populate it..

Very counter intuitive .. there needs to be a device permissions link direcdtly from the dashboard i believe and some verbage drawing you to that link immediately after creating a new dashboard!!!

Go to the Dashboard App under your Apps tab, and click on the Child App for the dashboard you want to add devices to, and click the Choose Devices button:

Possibly I'm confused (happens often) but none of my dashboard links work - either ones created before 2.2.4, or on 2.2.4.141.

In both cases, clicking on them gets the dialog below.

  1. Shouldn't existing Dashboard links work once .141 is installed?
  2. Is the option to create dasboard links in the Dashboard link creation dialog not suposed to be used? What is the correct way to add a dashboard link from 2.2.4.141 onward?

Others have reported the same issue, some in this thread.

Also getting the error on 2.2.4.141 and unclear as to what's the right approach is here:

  • roll back to previous build. Would only make sense if a fix is eventually coming. Is it the case?
  • transform to regular links. Does it mean we can't have dashboards that work both locally and remotely?
  • other?

It does seem a backwards step, either need 2 dashboards or 2 links next to each other, one for local and one for :cloud:

One thing that might cause people problems is that the links to the dashboard from the Dashboards section of the web interface:


actually takes you to the new link where the old Dashboard Links don't work. You have to access the legacy link from the Apps > child dashboard app link, choosing the "Legacy Local LAN Link to Dashboard" link instead.

So in other words, until you go through all your dashboard links and fix them, the "Dashboards" section of the web interface doesn't work. That might be the problem some of you are facing.

Im even more confused than before
updated to 2.2.4.141
get "Dashboard Link Tile only work with Legacy Dashboards links"
i see there is now 2.2.4.143 (no idea if any tweaks to this dashboard links stuff)
installing...
