For Android users who may not be familiar with KWGT Kustom Widget Maker - it is a powerful widget creator that allows you to customize the screen of your mobile device.
The app allows you to retrieve and parse text, rss and other content from HTTP links. When used with Maker API directly, or in combination with other utility apps like Tasker or MacroDroid, KWGT can turn the screen of your mobile device into an awesome Hubitat dashboard.
I recently created a "master" widget with many widgets inside that are triggered by touch events to get quick insight of my Hubitat environment.
Not familiar with Tasker capabilities. I haven't used it in probably 6 years. I used kwgt + Macrodroid instead of Tasker.
Kwgt allows you to save a formula and automatically insert it. You just have to change the device id. I've done most everything on the phone and a little using Link to Windows.
Same concept applies to Macrodroid. I found the Macrodroid easier to work with than Tasker.
Kwgt doesn't have animation capability. What doesn't fit on one screen is triggered by touch, no swipe (unless you make multiple widgets and swipe through screens). Everything I have is on one screen/Home page.
The power of kwgt comes from automation. You can display what matters when it matters right on the home page.
Is this something that could be exported and shared? I'd love to have something like this, and I'm comfortable tinkering to wire it up, but I don't think I could build something that polished from scratch.
I'm aware this question probably doesn't belong here but you guys seem to know how widgets work. I'd like to do the exact opposite of what your doing but don't really understand how Android widgets work. Is it possible to get an Android widget into the Hubitat dashboard? Specifically I'm using the Joe Page dashboard as my phones UI locked in with fully kiosk app. Heres what the dashboard looks like on my phone.
