3 × 2 tiles, from 2 × 1 to 6 × 4

The tile for a device that has no widget of its own, or when you want to pick exactly what to show. The name sits at the top with a switch if the device can be switched, and its readings fill the tile below in even columns.

Many devices draw themselves with a moving icon: a lamp glows, a plug snaps in, a fan turns, a blind rolls to its position, a washer’s drum spins while it runs. A speaker that is playing gets dancing bars beside its name. Tapping a reading opens its history, and tapping elsewhere does what you set under Taps.
