Is there a better way to do this already? If there is I can't find it.
When adding a new device, go from the Discovery Page to the Device Page by clicking on the Device Name.
Check/correct functions, drivers and Name/Label. Check/save Preferences. Configure. Test.
And then: Instead of going from the Device Page to the App Page to the Dashboard list to the selected Dashboard, then add the new device for use with that Dashboard.
Sort of the same linkage like "In Use By" once a device has been added to a dashboard or rule.
Have a drop-down with all available Dashboards, select the desired Dashboard, add new device. Click done, back to Device page.
Yes, that's the end goal.
But it's a little bit of a disjointed process. (For me )
After you've added your new device and checked it's working properly on it's device page.
Go from the Device Page, to the App Page, to the Dashboard list, to the desired Dashboard; then add the new device for use with that Dashboard.
Then go to that Dashboard and add a new Tile for that device.
1: Add device to Hubitat. Device Discovery
1a: Check operation
2: Add new device to Dashboard App. Choose Devices
3: Add newly added device to Dashboard. Add Tile
