Feature Request To Add Text Labels

[user837]

With all the effort that went into the new EZ Dashboard I almost feel guilty for asking for more. Just ask that it be considered for something longer term.

Would like to see the ability to add text labels so others looking the dashboard can more readily identify what they are looking at.

As the creator of the dashboard I know the logical grouping of the items but others in the family do not without looking at the individual tiles to try and find what they are looking for. Having the labels of the logical groupings of devices helps them find the devices much more quickly.

Also, can dashboards be copied? I need to develop versions for a cell phone and tablet widths now that I have the desktop version completed.

See attached markup. You will need to enlarge and scroll to see entire dashboard. Nothing fancy.

Thanks - Don

I've been wanting this for ages (on the regular dashboards). I find it surprising that something this basic doesn't exist.

There are ways to achieve that on the Hubitat Dashboard, already. And now it's available on the Easy Dashboard too, it was released yesterday:

New Media Player and Helper Tiles

We are happy to introduce two new tiles to the Easy Dashboard's growing portfolio, based on popular demand. The latest update adds a new section to the Easy Dashboards for "Helper Tiles": [image] First helper tile that we released is the "Separator". Press the plus sign then select "Separator" from the menu to add a transparent tile with a custom text: [image] The second tile is the simple **media player ** tile for any devices that use the "MusicPlayer" device type.

What would those be?

All I've come up with is creating images of text for the desired labels, then pointing empty tiles to the image URLs. But that's quite cumbersome--perhaps there is something more straightforward?

For the moment that would be the Easy Dashboard.
