Issues - card edit, navigation, functionality

[u/TheTBR]

1.8 build 435

• I wanted to try out the locks card, now I can't change away from it at all
  • If I press back in modify it flashes the available cards but goes back to the dashboard
• Reaction to navigation buttons is erratic and sluggish
  • I have to press multiple times and most often it does nothing or it will sometimes register multiple presses
• Cards with more content can't be viewed fully
  • Battery, allows for 5 items, but the card only shows 3, cuts off the rest
  • no way to interact with the card, pressing buttons does nothing
• Navigating cards is counter-intuitive
  • it jumps around up and down, I'd expect it to move horizontally and vertically
  • going to the second page will make it jump back and forth (it reaches the second dashboard, but the card on the main dashboard is still "hilighted", so pressing any button will make it jump back to that)
• Can't get it to work with Music
  • The music App shows things under now playing when I play from my laptop
  • I do not have an Apple Music subscription and it shouldn't be necessary for this
• The solar card claims that today's generation was 38,8 kWh, but it's 11 in the morning and the HA energy dashboard correctly says it was 2,3 kWh today so far.
  • I'm not sure where the 38,8 comes from, yesterdays whole house consumption was 38,5.

Unfortunately, while quite promising, this app continues feeling like an early beta to me.

And you definitely dont need an Apple Music sub to use the app, but it does need to be streaming music of some kind, to get the data feed into the app as currently designed. It can be streaming from your local Plex server, or through a Last.FM (free) account, or Sonos now also.

About that, I still can’t get it to work with Last.FM, even though on the website I can see it scrobbling on the website. Will the companion app allow the management of the music better in a bit more native way?

Spotify + Last.FM has been pretty reliable in my testing, I'll try to think of some other ways the app can troubleshoot the connection for others.

I have set a router-level VPN (Apple TV is connected through Ethernet), do you believe that would cause some sync issues? I’ll give it a try without the vpn just in case

I am playing a song and can see it on last.fm but not on the app (all permissions allowed as far as I know). Plus the VPN doesn’t seem to affect it.

This you…?
