I have 5 tablets in key places all running HE Legacy Dashboards.
Everything in the house runs without intervention but as an old programmer/IT admin I like to see the status of the system.
There are remotes for overrides but I mostly just reach for a tablet.
I like the instant info, looking for the wife, checking out a lazy sensor or turning off lights I deem not necessary (before the programmed timeout).
As a child of the late 50's it's engrained in me to turn off every light. When I leave a room I always punch a tile on the wall tablets or touch a switch which is attached to a lighting group to kill the lights.
I also love having one at my desk so when I'm playing with pistons or chasing a beta issue I see all the main devices, at a glance, reacting to changes.
I use [RELEASE] HD+ - Android Dashboard.
I have a bunch of dashboards, but nothing fancy. HD+ just made it easy to access everything (before any device control was in the HE app).
Growing up the Adults in my life were on me about the doors being left open or the lights on. Even how long I was looking in the refrigerator. Something about do what you want when you pay the bills.
Hubitat dash boards allow me to see want is on or open at a glance. Because today I am paying the bills.
i use legacy dasboards pretty much exclusively for control.. i have them setup for 4 columns so the work well on my phone. i have a main dashboard grouped by capability ie water, motion, contact, power etc. with links and then another set of groupings by room.
i have both local and cloud links on my phone to use.
only time i go in the web interface is to look at logs or make changes.. if remote (i have hubs in 4 locations) i use openvpn and then the web interface etc other than the dashboards.. i almost never use the app.
Haha. I always remember yelling at my boys to close the damn fridge; they would just scan it expecting a magical pizza to appear.
I remember that definining moment as an adult when I realised I could leave the fridge open for a little bit whilst I walked over to the sink and refilled the water jug.
Until then, the fridge door was treat like the hatch of a submarine, just as it started to descend.
