Android App arrange icons


Question

Posted

Hi somewhat of a newbie to all this, I want to use an old android tablet to control a few items in a room

1, Light

2, single relay to turn off some kit in the room

3, and Lili

4, maybe heating (but dont have that yet)

 

My  issue is I just want the tablet to come on with a tap and be presented with only 4 or 5 icons, I dont want to have to select the room then the item then come back out to select another item.

 

I dont particularly need a scene as we might be watching TV then decide to have blinds down, and later think we could have the lights on.

 

I just need a simple solution to allow me just to place the icons i want/need on the screen, or is there a more versatile app for doing this

 

cheers

Try ImperiHome app. It will do what you are looking for. Te Android version has more features than the IOS version .

You could use the Fibaro widgets for devices and scenes, I use this with an Android tablet. With this solution you could use many widgets from different apps on the same home page, for example spotify, Netatmo, cameras and Fibaro. You cant use Lili with the widgets, but other Fibaro stuff you could probably solve with scene widgets. 

In addition I have set up the Android tablet to wake up from dreaming mode when I come close to it (with motion detector and tasker)  This means usually just one click for most actions.

    Why can't I change the order of devices in a room on a an android tablet or mobile.  It is driving my wife nuts as the order of blinds in the room is the order the devices were registered.  This is nuts !!!.  Changing the order on the dashboard has no effect.  Apparently this works on IPhone.  Is there any plan to fix this for Android ?

    Hi @RohitNz,

     

    Could you elaborate on that issue or post a screenshot? 

     

    This should work on both iOS and Android.

    Any update on this ?

     

    I changed the order of the devices in a room on my HC2 as it suits me.

    However, this isn't reflected on my Android app and I see no options to change this.

     

    Please help.
