Still haven't seen the last update on Google yet 
1.0.949 
I actually got used to these guys so anything else looks a bit odd now.
I think though I'll get used to the new icons. They're much more inline with the rest of the theme.
I've one more small one for you if you think it will be easy and it will look good. Any chance of changing the yellow dot on the brightness slider to blue as well?
Thanks a million for your time making these updates
Any reason you don't just get the apk from the aws link?

I must have missed the link somehow... Thanks- just got it!
version 1.0.953 (beta)
- fix Android TV and FireTV navigation issues
- if custom icon color is set, use that color instead of yellow for dimmer highlight
When I modified the login page I didn't add proper support for remote controls so anyone with Android TV wasn't able to login. This should be fixed now. I also fixed several other places where the remote control wasn't able to select an option.
done!
btw - any color can be used for the icons too.. it's not super obvious but if you long-press on a device -> edit -> icon color -> select 'all devices + on/off' and pick a color. You have to hit OK to see it take effect

yeah I found that out before playing with the app, I've very happy with the default colour scheme of dark grey / blue icons so I won't change it.
Thanks very much for the last fix, now please don't change things anymore for that theme 
me too, I think jpage4500 is working too hard and can't count anymore. That or he's made even more changes
How does one use this FireTV (or Android TV) navigation with the Dashboard? I didn't know HE offered any such support.
The changes are for running the dashboard/app on a FireTV and using the remote control to navigate. Are you asking about controlling a FireTV with the hub? I got that confused too when someone asked me for FireTV support recently. I'm not aware of any way to directly control the FireTV from the hub
yep, I found a bug after releasing it so I made a quick fix

Yep, I misunderstood. Thanks for the clarification.
Yes that's exactly what I'm saying. Been trying for days to just see if it reconfigures itself, but as long as gps is not turned on... Even on local networks the app thinks I'm on cloud, and said unable to connect to server.
I'm using the xiomi mi 10 ultra and the latest Android.
Xiomi have strict battery saving protocols but I bypassed it to let me android run as other phones do.
What a drawback as battery life was up to 4 days but now two max. This in turn means any app that was not open, would not receive notifications or run in the background
Location permission is required for cloud mode detection - just the permission - no location is ever even fetched by the app as mentioned earlier. You don't need location permission if you want to use the app to connect to your Hub by IP address. Just re-install the app and when the app prompts to enable cloud mode select 'no'.
Just a preview of an upcoming version - widget support!
There's still plenty left to do and some logic to think though. For example, an app widget can update itself on a configurable basis - but it won't be realtime updates like the app can do while it's running. Meaning, if you turn off a light via a switch, the homescreen widget isn't going to reflect that state until it refreshes (or never if you don't want it to refresh).
Because of that - when you click on a widget I need to get the 'actual' device state from the Hub first - and then send a command to turn the light on/off, etc.
Also, Android doesn't allow for a widget to be re-configured once it's setup (without putting a button on the widget).. that's annoying.. So, if you want to change something you'll probably have to delete and add a new widget.
Anyway, I'll try to make it functional and push out a new beta version while I keep working on more advanced features

This is going to be soooo great for my garage door opener and unlocking the house door! And scenes to welcome us home! Can't wait.
The thing is I want to use the app outside the network. Maybe it's just my phone.
Guess it's not possible as once cloud has been activated or a code is put in then only gps constantly on won't tell me that it cannot connect to server..
Thank you anyway.
Will have to stick to dashboards for remote control
You can try to setup a VPN via your router (or a Pi device) and connect that way instead.

I am trying to wrangle with the time tile, but having some issues.
I can set the Date Format pretty easily enough, but that only changes the main date/time. In the right-hand bottom corner you will still have a time field, in my case comprised of "Sun, 2/14 / 5°"
How can I also edit this right-hand information to show an actual "correct" date 
Not exactly related, but I was looking for a way to make wider tiles for bulbs. Editing a Dimmable light tile will not show the "Wide" option. But, changing that tile "Device Type" to a button will enable wide, and then changing it back again to a Dimmable Light you will now have a wide (or high) bulb tile !

ha - that's a bug any tile can technically be wide and/or tall. You can also edit the config file as well to make every tile wide or tall. The only reason I didn't make the option global was I wanted to show more or different info.. like how the thermostat has a different layout.

In my case I wanted the time only (11:04) on the main tile to make the font as large as possible but still want to see the date (02/14) too. So, I'm always putting that info in the status bar. Are you looking to hide the date in the status bar or display something different?
