Hi, Genie.
Just installed new r.520 and was surprised by the new behaviour of displaying information on widgets (loop through different parameters). In my humble opinion it's inconvenient for sensors with a lot of parameters like temperature, luminance, move detection and so on as you have to wait a lot of time to see the value of certain parameter. I think the dashboard should be as more informative as it's possible, so you can read all information from one sight.
What do you think?

An expand button could be added to switch the layout from compact to expanded.
For instance the new camera widget has an expand button.

Expand button would be nice as some settings to show widgets in the 'expanded' mode by default.
Unfortunately I don't have a camera, so I can't try new camera widget.

Yes you can from the widget editor, just pick any module to bound and then run it.

forgot to mention that currently you can also click over it to toggle all parameters rapidly.

Yes, I found the 'click-to-switch' feature.
And also just tried the new camera widget in Widget Editor.

Also it looks that a couple of versions ago the custom widget binding through manufacturer specific parameter was broken, as I see default thermostat widgets for my thermostats instead of Z-Wave.Me Thermostat widgets.

Hmm, after a number of updates of modules properties for thermostats and hard reloading HG page in browser correct widgets for Z-Wave.Me Thermostats have appeared.

And if we are talking about widgets - don't you think that showing the highest temperature below lowest one in Weather Underground widget is wrong and they should be swapped?
