Yes, I like it. I'll check it out tonight when I get home. Thanks.
I have a question about icon choices. For example, I have a few smart wall switches. The default icons are basic light bulbs. Nice and clean. For the light off, you see the filament. With the light on the bulb is a solid yellow. Since they are switches, there is no intensity circle. Perfect. No question what the device is and no question if the light is on or off.
I have a few lamps plugged into Iris Zigbee smart plugs. They identify as switches and since I have table lamps plugged in to them I would like to change the icon to a lamp. I choose the word lamp to distinguish from a overhead light. The table lamp icon is a single white icon, I would like to have the lamp shade "lite up" in a different color but there is a single icon for on and off. So, I decide to choose a light. As I said above I like the pair of icons chosen for on and off. When I change the icon to a light, there is no fully lit bulb that matches the icons available. I hope what I said above is clear. I avoided getting screen shots.
None of the above is a complaint, just a observation. My primary interest is in helping make the app as intuitive as possible. It's easy to sit on this side of the screen and complain. I have no intention of complaining.
Coming up with good/simple/consistent (and free) icons has been a challenge.. I ended up using all (mostly) white icons because I could dynamically change the color to anything. But, I did end up manually editing a couple of icons to add that yellow 'on' state (light, switch).
What I want to do is have some built-in icon choices that can have similar editing and the iconsdb.com search would be a fallback.
I'd also love to add a google image search too.. it might be tricky but if you can get a URL for any image it can be used. Today, you can use any URL but you have to export the config, edit it and re-import it.. so, I'd like to make it easier to do from within the app

If I could choose those light switch icons in edit icons I would be happy.
Just a question that is a huge deal breaker for local dashboards.
Can I use local android apps in your app. Please say yes.
How can one have home dashboards but cannot select from local apps for music better camera control and more.
I use the excellent kiosk but it does not work with any local dashboars
This for the Nest Driver. When registering @ Google, does it have to be the same gmail account for the dashboard or the devices, or does it matter? I created an account specifically for the dashboard. The devices use a separate account.
I will try it out and gladly donate for your efforts. Thank you again as I really wanted a local seamless dash
I don't think it matters. Once the device is available to HE and exposed through the Maker API, you should have no problem. My tablet and thermostat are using the same account. I LOVE having the icon on the tablet!
I will gladly pay for this to work on Wink Relay in Android 4.3 
Mine are on different accounts. I don't want to screw it up 
I miss my hacked Wink Relay.. I had a custom Wink dashboard running on it for a long time before the touchscreen just stopped working.
I did a little searching and see that Android 4.3 is using API 18. This app sets the min version to 19. I tried lowering it to 18 and it seems to build fine. I was even able to load it on a 4.3 emulator but I'm not sure that's good enough to know if this will work or not. I seem to remember that one of the libraries I'm using required API 19 but maybe not.. Anyway, if you want to test it out - I posted an apk version here. Let me know if it works and I'll change it for the Play Store/Amazon versions as well.

RE: Nest thermostats (driver here)
I think what @N4IRS said is right.. the only important thing with setting up the Nest driver on HE is that you get it to show up and work in HE. If it works on HE - just make sure it's checked in the MakerAPI device list and it'll show up in any application which uses the MakerAPI.
I will say setting up the Nest driver was pretty complex.. not sure if it's on par with rooting a Fire tablet but not far from it 
But, so far the driver has been great and now that I have my Nest thermostats displayed in the app, I'll be motivated to support more thermostat features!
I created an account specifically for the dashboard. The devices use a separate account.
EDIT: I also use a different Google account on my wall mounted tablets.. no reason to use your primary Google Account on these

You got that right! I had a hell of a time getting the Google side setup. Darn near gave up a few times (and I work in IT) I ended up with 4 projects, and quite a few keys. Now that I have it setup, it all makes sense.
I will test this version today! Thank you for the effort!

It works!
A few things don't work well, like custom color picker - it only shows a black slide bar and no colors and the Hex field won't accept #ff0000 for example, to make a red background. Image / URL doesn't work either. But overall, this is great!
Thank you!

Thank you. I didn't want to authorize on one account and get the red buzzer when trying to add to the dashboard. Sidenote: my mounts shipped yesterday -- so I should be in business by next week. Pretty excited.
What are you using to feed, tinycam?
Yes, I have a dedicated old Android TV box wired into my router, Running TinyCam Pro server, feeding 6 WYZE cams. 4 V2s, 1 Pan and 1 Outdoor.
