Actiontiles and Hubitat

Givingup on Actiontiles. Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye. Very reluctantly!! Loved it, still do, but how many years can you wait for any responsible response, or update. It is obvious to me that a Licensed Hubitat release isn't going to happen. I switched to HE from ST because Samsung was doing the same thing - not giving any info or confidence as to the roadmap. Actiontiles has been slowly losing functionality for me with certain tiles, and the response times seem to get slower and slower. It is a shame. AT could have been a real contender in this marketplace. The HE dashboards are ugly and I would rather drive a nail through my skull than deal with setting up another one. Don't get me wrong I have spent a lot of time setting up ALL of AT dashboards HE. I know how to do this and am familiar with the interface. It takes twice as long and the end result is not what I want. Sharptools, not for me. Not even close. Setup a Home Assistant server and will be doing all of my dashboards in that. All of the devices ported over, Response time is what I am looking for. Dashboards are very nice with a lot of options I don't have on either platform. And it is LOCAL, and community supported! In an ideal world... AT would release the app to the community, the community would develop it to run locally on HE, HE would fully implement matter (i.e. I don't need another matter gateway to initialize), and I would have one hub it my closet instead of 4. Understand the issues at AT, grieve at the loss of one of the founders, sorry the wasted so much time in the ST conversion sans groovy... but this a rapidly evolving industry. Time of AT to Lead, Follow, or Get Out of the Way. But I rant on!
