Widget or shortcut to a specific dashboard?

I have multiple dashboards, and I’d love to be able to navigate directly to them on Android rather than having to open the slideout and selecting them. For example, I have one with all the multimedia controls all over my house (we have 3 logitech harmonies) so if different things are on in different rooms, I have one screen to control volume, mute, power, etc.

Is there a way I don’t know of to create a shortcut directly to a dashboard? I’m new to Home Assistant and haven’t figured out how to do that.

someone started to add this feature but stopped since it requires changes from HA core, for now you can create a button widget that uses a notification command: https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/notification-commands/#webview

PR to add shortcut support :slight_smile: https://github.com/home-assistant/android/pull/1460

Necropost I know, but thank you! I didn’t even know this feature about Android either.

I just came across this trying to figure out how to get to a specific dashboard from within the app, but this works out great too.

Great!
I managed to get my widget to open the Home assistant app. Can you please advise where/how to add the path to a specific dashboard? I tried lots of combinations, but can’t make the command: “/lovelace/settings” thing to work.

i think you may be lost, dont use a widget. Use a shortcut instead as htat the correct approach

Ahh, ok, that worked! Thank you!

One step closer to what I would like to have:

A template-like widget that I can tap to open the Home Assistant app.
This one shows me the data I’m interested in, but I would like to be able to tap it to open a dashboard with for example a chart of historic data.
template-widget

Are you aware of anything like that? Tapping widgets seems like a standard thing nowadays…?

yes we have tap actions…they do things like making sure the widget is up to date and also toggling an entity or viewing the camera feed. Check the docs for the full set of supported features per widget. Each one has different behavior. If you would like something thats not listed feel free to submit a feature request
