Customizable screensavers
New screensavers feature provides an easy way to create and customize multiple screensavers.
Screensaver settings include:
- screen brightness
- clock format and layout
- backdrop
- slideshow (when used with image collection)
Other features such as calendar and weather are planned for future releases.
Starting screensaver with Rules
Rules (Labs feature) now also require specifying screensaver id when starting a screensaver. That gives an ability to start various screensavers on different event triggers.
Remote Admin
Remote Admin is the new configuration editor that can be used to change the app configuration from within a browser. New editor includes syntax validation to help avoid applying invalid configuration.
This release of Remote Admin is just a base. More features are planned for the future in the effort to allow configuration process without touching the device!
Note: Remote Admin has a different URL, please check your Settings.

HomeHabit 12.0
Available starting August 7, 2021
I like to have some (visible) motion in there and this fading out and in at a different location is quite relaxing to watch and not as “boring” as a non-moving clock.
