The time issue and issue with the other tablet seems to have disappeared with last night's HE update. I'll observe.
How about this instead of the "true" or "false"? You'd be able to use a custom icon as well - instead of the checkboxes

Probably just a coincidence.. I've been trying to reproduce it w/out success. I think it's related to the app starting up and not being able to fetch the device list. If that happens, the app won't auto-refresh all of it's "virtual devices" such as the date/time tile.
That should be possible. Long-press on a button and click on Edit than "Manage Buttons". I added a wiki page with more info on configuring buttons: https://joe-page-software.gitbook.io/hubitat-dashboard/tiles/buttons
I like the space tile, but i kind of wish it was 1/2 or 1/4 size
That's a tough one as everything is in a 'grid' of equal sized tiles. I can have a tile span more than 1 tile but making a tile smaller than the other items would take some thought
I wish i could have one layout for horizontal mode and a different for landscape.
A good idea! I tend to prevent my phone from rotating at all since it's annoying when it happens accidentally (on any app). I also have my wall-mounted tablets fixed in 1 orientation so it's not something I do often.. but, that said if I can figure out an easy way to do this I'll give it a shot

Cool!
Not sure if this is helpful, but i figure i'd suggest it at least...
I'd be happy designing a layout for landscape and saving it as a configuration file, making another as a portrait and saving that as another configuration file. In the settings you could make me use two different files, one for each mode. Each time i rotate the display you could change configuration file and re-render.
Just a thought...
Been all day and both seem to be fine. I'll take whatever it is...
Hey Joe, sent you a cup of coffee or three. Enjoy and thanks for the work!

Does the "back" button to the previous folder always have to be in the top left corner? Every time I move it, it automatically moves back to the top left.
Anyone else having trouble with the color picker. I touch the color circle in the middle, enter the hex value and OK. The color circle is now the color that I entered. But when I click OK to close that, the color is not offered as a selection.
I found and fixed the issue.. it'll be part of the next beta update

Today, yes I always put the back button on the top-left of the folder. If it's not too difficult I'll let you re-arrange it elsewhere
Edit: done - will also be in the next beta release

version 1.0.1434 (beta)
- add option to use a screensaver instead of letting display turn off
- change how drag and drop works with folders
- allow user to move BACK folder so it's not always in top-left of folder
- fix color picker's manual HEX entry field
There's several new features in this version.. the biggest one is an option to use a screensaver instead of letting the screen turn off fully. For now this should be helpful for Fire tablets which can't be turned on automatically. It'll also allow you to touch the screen to wake the display up during 'off' hours.
I documented it in more detail here but the high-level details are:
- there's a new screensaver option buried in the dialog here: navigation menu -> More Settings.. -> Stay Awake -> ON/OFF times (2nd option)
- If this value (in seconds) is > 0 and the current time is outside of the on/off times (ie: the screen should be OFF) - the device will display a screensaver (black screen)
- If this value is 0, the screen will turn off like before
I also changed how drag and drop works with folders. Before, if you dragged a device on top of a folder, the only option you'd get was to 'drop' this device info the folder. Now, if you hover on top of a folder for 1 second, you can move the device to where the folder is. It's not perfect, but at least should make it easier to move items around without moving them into a folder accidently.
You can now move the Back button in a folder.. just drag and drop it like any other device
Lastly, I fixed an issue entering a custom HEX color in the color picker

I have some samsung a7's and have always had an issue where they would never wake up in the morning. They'd always go asleep but unless I long pressed the screen, in the morning they'd always be black. So I switched it to just dim the screen according to the screen timeout and that's worked out OK - they're not as dim as I'd want but it's not that big of a deal. I then started to notice the screen being frozen every day. I'd have to leave and re-enter the app to get it to update again. Going to try the new screensaver option and see how that goes as I just updated the beta. Still no clue why the time freeze was happening to me too - but it also seemed like tile status wouldn't update, either. Frozen in time.
A picture of my dashboard for a tablet. First cut but I think it will work for me.
Color coded by inside/outside and which building its in (main home, garage or pool cabana). I'm not super good at design but I think this will work. I change the background color on the icons if the doors are unlocked or if an alarm goes off. The tomatoes graph is a soil water level sensor that reports as humidity to hubitat, it helps me make sure I'm not missing if the soil is too dry. I'll probably also do an alarm if it goes below a threshold.
I have 6 Sonos devices connected to a 12 channel zone amplifier for whole house and indoors + outdoors sound. I have 6 more Sonos in my cabana for outdoor sound around the pool and the cabana. I measure the power consumption on the zone amp and the sonos via a wall plug that is feeding a power line conditioner which feeds the Sonos appliances and the amp. I can easily reboot the Sonos with that plug (sometimes they need a reboot).

Joe Page, is it possible to use tabs in the dashboard. Was thinking it would be nice to have tabs at the top for each room or device type. Even better would be the ability to split the dashboard. Top portion contains devices, weather, hsm, cameras, orwhatnot that are useful for every room. The other portion would be sectioned of by a tab bar similiar to the section devider with a tab for each room. This would be really nice to create one dashboard that could be easily used in each room.

If so, please make these optional as I prefer the way it is now.

I like the idea - kind of an alternative to using folders to group devices. My concern would be that tabs would take too much space - especially for landscape layouts where there's not a lot of vertical space to begin with (quick mockup below)
Obviously, it wouldn't be as big of an issue in portrait. I'll think about it -- how it could be done and could look..
If so, please make these optional as I prefer the way it is now.
it'd definitely be optional.. maybe something like 'Add Tab' and no tabs would display unless there was 2 or more
