From using to making

Tiledash does a lot, but you don’t need most of it. Think of it as a ladder: each level is complete on its own, and the next one is there when you want it. You never need levels 5 and 6 to have a great dashboard.

Nothing is hidden on the way up. Where you reach the edge of a level, Tiledash shows a quiet line or a one-time Did you know? that leads to the next. Turning off Show tips under Guided tours and tips in Settings › General silences them all.

1. Use

Tap tiles to switch lights, start Flows and set Moods. A new dashboard is made from your Homey’s rooms, so there’s something to use within a minute.

Next: the getting-started list in the corner suggests making a dashboard your own.

2. Arrange

Add, move and resize tiles, add headings and summaries, and keep a layout per screen. See Your dashboards and A layout per screen.

Next: at the foot of each tab in Add widgets, Not finding it? leads to the Community tab, with widgets other people made.

3. Style

Pick a look for a tile, a theme for the dashboard, and a wallpaper.

Next: the style panel ends with Custom CSS (advanced), folded, and Make your own theme, which opens the theme editor.

4. Install

Add widgets, themes and furniture from the Community. They’re used as they are and get their maker’s updates.

Next: a Community widget’s tile settings end with Make a copy to change. The copy is yours, in the Workshop; the original stays as it is.

5. Tweak

Change a copy in the widget editor: its template, its style and its settings.

Next: the Workshop tells you once that your AI assistant can build a widget for you, or New starts one from scratch.

6. Make and share

Make your own widgets, partials, themes and 3D models, let an AI assistant build them, and publish them on the Community for others. The Build for Tiledash half of these docs is about this level.
