I'm wondering how useful it'd be to have an always visible 'version' or 'hub info' tile though if that's what you're suggesting. At least personally I'm only interested if there's an update.

That said, I haven't spent much time with the Hubitat Information type apps on the hub.. do you know if any of them have any details about an update? If so, I could try to look for that specifically and maybe use a custom tile to display it. Anyway, a hubitat driver like that would have a lot more information available to it so that seems like it could be better than anything I could do myself

Generally, I've tried to avoid adding my own 'drivers' like the pollen tile -- only because the Hub is better suited for that and you only have to do it once on the hub vs on every phone/tablet that wants to view/control it.

Somewhat related, I know there's a hubitat pollen app and I was planning on using that originally but I think I wanted to see more data than the driver was getting (I think it's getting 3 days worth and I wanted to get 5). Also, I wanted to have a custom tile and not an HTML tile so it was just easier to do all inside the app..

Thanks for the reply. I was suggesting that, but now that you mention it, maybe it's really not that helpful. Afterall- I'm more interested in knowing when there's an update available rather than what version I'm currently on.

I also understand your viewpoint from using other dedicated drivers rather than writing and supporting your own. I am currently using Hub Information v2.6.5 (driver) located here: [RELEASE] Hub Information Driver to provide Hub info.
