Very good!
Thereā€™s still a bug using the slider widget on the Android app. When I try to move the slider I get:
ā€œCannot connect to remote deviceā€.
Working well from the web ui.

Agreed, thanks for the feedback. This is a known bug that didnā€™t get tackled with this release ā€“ we wanted to get the crash fix out the door quickly. Weā€™ll work to get this resolved as soon as possible.

Another annoying problem with the Android app occurs when the application goes in background and after some time itā€™s activated again: in this case the connection with your server is often lost and the displayed values are freezed (old values are displayed). Widgets are not working as well, and no error messages are shown.
Maybe a connection status check is missing when the application is resumed.
I need to close the app (with android ā€œtask managerā€) and start it again.

The text device appeared in black , and could play with widget.

But sometimes widget doesnā€™t response :slightly_frowning_face: like now ā€¦

You should be able to refresh by returning to the Devices menu and then returning to the individual device/project dashboard. Iā€™m not sure that the pull-to-refresh pictured about is 100% necessary.

No question that we need a check to pull fresh data when the application is resumed from backgrounding, and Iā€™ll share as much with our development team. But until then hopefully this will allow you to avoid the steps of force closing the app through task manager.

I confirm itā€™s working for me. Only data of my sensor was displayed, Button Widget doesnā€™t response.
i return to Devices and returning to project dashboard and working fine . :ok_hand:

@samarchri @rsiegel not for me, at least buttons are not working even if I go back to the deviceā€™s list (I canā€™t see feedbacks).
Thanks for the support, I think it is and it will be a great framework! Keep on working! :slight_smile:
