I’ve had my Hubitat for a year now and it’s really done well to integrate devices and most smart ecosystems as follows: Hue, Ecobee, Sonos, Lutron Caseta, along with independent Zigbee (sensors/devices, lights are all on Hue) and Z-Wave meshes running on Hubitat. However, there’s one major sticking …

I use both the built in Google Home integration for most devices, and the Community based Google Home integration for locks, fans, and sensors.

I think a really good option would be the HD Plus dashboard app for Android. It's pretty amazing. [image] [RELEASE] HD+ - Android Dashboard Custom Apps **[RELEASE] HD+ ** [image] What is it? A native Android app for viewing and controlling your Hubitat devices. Featu…

I don’t want to crap on it, but the HD+ dashboard (unless I can really pretty it up Google Home or Apple Home app style) unfortunately looks way too nerdy for what we’re wanting here in this use case.

Oh I can definitely appreciate function over form for some stuff. I’m personally kind of picky on GUIs looking nice (I tolerate Hubitat because it’s simple to configure and mostly rock solid), but for my non-tech nerd GF she would 100% not use something that isn’t nice and polished in this case.

Everyone has their own ideas of what looks/feels polished... :slight_smile: I'd take HD+ over GH any day myself. But that's what makes horse races. Good luck in your quest for GAF. :smiley:

@dtloken I'd maybe go SharpTools from a design perspective. It's web based but that never caused me any issues. It's probably the easiest to get looking how you like. Now if you need it to run locally...anyone remember Hubivue lol

Most elegant/Homekit-like way to expose Hubitat to Android?
