Blynk App (android)

I have implemented the first project (weather station) so far.
Is there also a possibility to create a widget on the Android APP so that one always sees the current values (on one of the start screens)?

Thanks
Markus

Do you mean something like this

Or something else ?

yes, but as a fix screen

Can you explain please ?

I think he wants to see some info on the screen where you launch apps from, without having to open the Blynk app.

Maybe?

Pete.

Yes exactly
In the old BLYNK app this was possible

You can add a template shortcut to the home screen so when you click on it, it will take you directly to the dashboard.
It’s not like the home screen widget, but it’s so useful, especially when you have a lot of templates.

Which exactly format of the home screen widget would you like? We may add later a copy of the device tile UI as a home screen widget (so any device tile may be added as home screen widget).
