iPad landscape (horizontal) orientation

I wanted to edit an app on my iPad but couldn’t get it to display in landscape (horizontal) orientation. Since horizontal is much more similar to a desktop screen I’m surprised it can’t do that.

Is this just something Hubitat just hasn’t programmed for?

If not, please add it to the wish list. If it can be done, please tell me what I need to do to implement it auto detecting the iPad orientation.

Are you referring to the Hubitat mobile app on iPad?

Not the mobile app with the dashboard, etc, but using Safari to go to the Hubitat interface with Devices, Apps, settings, etc.

Are you sure you don't have rotation lock turned on on your iPad? AFAIK a web page can't control this, and the Hubitat interface works either way for me.

It rotates but the left panel (where devices, apps, etc) is overlaps the actual app or devices in the right panel.

I think I see what you mean now that you clarified. If so, the issue only happens for me if rotated while the page is open. Doing a refresh/reload of the page (or navigating to another page) easily resolves the issue, or opening the menu (by tapping the "hamburger" menu icon; it's collapsed by default on narrow screens like portrait orientation) before rotating prevents it in the first place.

Might be something they could look at improving, though.

Maybe a couple screenshots would help, since I’m not sure I’m following you.

If you browse to the hub in safari, it’s just a webpage. With the iPad in portrait, it’ll render with a portrait page width. Turn the iPad to landscape, and the safari window should turn 90 degrees and render in landscape width.

Unless you have the iPad’s portrait orientation lock setting turned on?

Missed @bertabcd1234‘s reply before mine, somehow.

I can reproduce this on my iPhone (including how to resolve).
