Found a problem with the dashboard editor. I was trying to get more control over positioning and spacing of the buttons, so I set the matrix to 16 wide by 9 high, hoping to use mostly 2x2 buttons but some smaller ones.
Well, as soon as you set either the rows or columns to 10 or more, it takes too much space to display that so it wraps - pushing the "add tile" button off the bottom of the screen.
In other words,

and the tool becomes unusable, as shown below:

In addition, some of the buttons don't draw correctly when they're small. here's an example:
In addition, it's pretty confusing to click the "^" button next to the tile position "row" field and have the button move DOWN.
Having this built-in is awesome, but it really needs some work. I'd love to be involved with the beta process when this gets to the top of the priority list.
True, but I think that would make my system cloud-dependent, wouldn't it? I'd like to be able to use my dashboards from my phone while on my local WiFi even if the internet is down.
What I would do is display a diamond pattern with the position displayed in the middle and four direction buttons in the corners, so it's clear that "up" means "move the button up" not "increment the value of the row number".
I don't really know if I would call it an issue or not. Just an example of how something is obviously designed by an engineer. A programmer would say "Hey the reported value is literally 99%". A non technical user would say "I turned the lights all the way up to 100%"
