I read a few posts about the widgets not refreshing. Has there been a fix or something to implement so the widgets or the dashboard it self refreshes automatically?
the dashboard should Always refreh automaticly.
dont know about your setup but you should have docker or hapush activated.
Rene is correct - the hapush component is responsible for updating the dashboard and has been there form the start. Its possible to get the dashboard up and running but make a mistake with the hapush config and you would end up with non-updating dashboard, but it should work.
on this moment i am trying with debugging. dont know where it comes from but randomly and only once in a blue moon, my dashboard stops updating.
and then only just a part of the dashboard.
my guess is that somewhere/sometimes comes an unexpected value which causes 1 widget to fail and the ones after that fail then also from that moment on.
but because it happens only about 1 or 2 times a day its hard to find.
When you talk about the hapush component are you speaking of hapush.py, hapush.cfg or something else?
hapush.py is the actual python program and hapush.cfg is the configuration file.
if you run hapush.py then it sends the data from HA to the dashboard. (it runs continously)
I guess i’m missing something. How do I run the hapush.py? I was thinking that when you ran dashing start it started everything.
i guess it would help to read the manual 
out of the manual on github:
Running hapush
For a manual installation you can then run hapush from the command line as follows:
$ ./hapush.py hapush.cfg
For docker installs, hapush will be started automatically when you run the startup command.
If all is well, you should start to see hapush responding to events as they occur. For a docker install you should see these messages in hapush/hapush.log

Ok, Making a little more sense.
Since I’m using docker it sounds like when I dashing start, I’m assuming this is the startup command.
I updated my hapush.cfg to below:
and this is what my log looks like. It looks like it’s pulling the data instead of being pushed the data:
Thank you for your help!
hapush is pushing it from ha to dashing, so dashing gets the data.
as soon as you make an action on your dashboard it is posting it to ha.
It works great going from Hadashboard to HASS it’s just when HASS updates the Dashboard doesn’t show until refreshed. Not a huge deal…
Does everything else look ok?
you have to open a second screen and goto the dir hapush
then you type
sudo python3 hapush hapush.cfg
just from that moment on you will get your dashboard updated.
I’m getting a python3 can’t open file hapush error message.
sorry
sudo python3 hapush.py hapush.cfg
Getting closer…now i’m getting this error
Is this normal?
seems like you didnt set your password correct in hapush.cfg
I updated the pw for hapush.cfg and now when I run the sudo python3 hapush.py hapush.cfg it just sits there. It doesn’t look like it’s doing anything.
now i am out off ideas where it goes wrong.
i guess you have your ip adress and your password right now.
maybe you could restart everything (including your pi) 1 more time.
maybe something is cashed wrong.
