Custom dashboard

[croixsux]

I have an old android phone sitting and i plan on using it as a panel dashboard but the google home is clunky to begin with. I need some suggestions on how to customize or reorganize it. Do we have third party dashboards?

Hi croixsux,

There is currently a public preview version of the Google Home app that an invite to can be requested. This version allows a 'Favorites' page to be created with the devices of your choosing.

Have a look at the Google Nest help center link below for more information about this...

im in public preview and have used favorites but it still doesnt satisfy me. Do we have 3rd party dashboards same with home automations?

Hi again,

Google doesn't provide any other dashboard's for the Google Home app.

You can use other home automation software such as Home Assistant but this would require additional hardware for it to run 24/7.

As this is a community forum supported by other users like myself and community specialist's please leave feedback for the Google Nest team requesting that they add additional dashboard's in the future.
