@Kim_Andersen Can you give a little bit more details on where you don’t see items and what steps you took after connecting to the platform?
Generally, after connecting to a platform and creating a dashboard, you should be able to see all your items when creating a widget (selecting recommended way). If that’s not happening, and platform says that it is connected, please provide details on your setup such as: OpenHAB version, Android OS version, device model, the app version.
App version 1.0 Beta 20
openhab 2.5 stable
App says it´s connected. (I entered local IP and no username/password).
When I add a widget in the dashboard, and press the +, I get an option to Select Items (recommended). Next screen says Search items… But nothing happens.
Also tried to explore a widget and add a Dimmer. Then add an item. But again nothing.
EDIT:
Is the Rest API suppose to be installed in openhab?
We are proud to announce that HomeHabit is out of beta. Over the last few years we were working hard to enhance the app with useful functionality and increase its stability. We are grateful to our users who continued believing in the project and appreciate your feedback and support.
This is the last release in the series of dashboard editor improvements.
Happy Holidays!
Hide dashboard navigation bar
Dashboard editor now provides an option to hide dashboard navigation bar for a true full screen experience. Dashboard will resize all widgets accordingly to fit the screen without any changes to grid size.
Dashboard edit button is available in navigation menu when dashboard is selected. Just like before, edge swipe from the left will open the navigation menu.
Great release to close out the year. Don’t miss the sneak peak at the end.
Happy New Year!
Themes
It is exciting to announce the release of theming capability for dashboards. We are starting off with two new standard themes - Black and Dark. Black theme has been a common request for some time now. While the Dark theme is a fresh variation on the original theme.
This is a great foundation for dashboard theming that will allow us to bring more in the future.
This release has the new Rules feature available in HomeHabit Labs.
This is an early release for Rules feature, so it is currently only configurable with Remote Config Editor and it isn’t possible to configure in the app UI yet.
Rules feature allow to perform some UI actions based on certain conditions.
For example: turn on device screen when motion sensor is triggered, or change screen brightness using external dimmer device.
For more information about how to enable and configure the rules: [Labs] Rules.
The new custom themes feature is a great way to add personal touch to a dashboard. With custom themes it is possible to customize variety of widget style properties including changing colors, adding borders or rounded corners.
Starter version can have up to 2 custom themes, in addition to the standard themes.
Premium users can create unlimited number of themes.
Custom widgets
This release adds Custom widgets feature available in HomeHabit Labs.
Custom widgets allow rendering a fully custom widget within existing dashboard. Custom widgets can show and act on any data available from the connected platforms. These widgets are written in JavaScript as Web Components.
This is an extremely experimental feature. Please make configuration backup before enabling this feature.
It is now possible to adjust displayed number of decimal places displayed in Gauge and Value widgets.
The value text will also auto-resize to better display longer numbers.
The new donut chart widget that allows to quickly show data distribution in a single widget. It is great for displaying home energy consumption and other relative data.
The widget is available in various sizes and layouts to make the best use of dashboard space.
The new HomeHabit Labs feature - Camera streaming V2 provides alternative and improved video stream processing. That should better supporting popular camera streaming formats such as MJPEG and RTSP, and help resolve issues that some users experienced. It also provides better performance on less powerful devices.
This is still an in-progress feature, so it might still have some quirks. Please try this out and report any issues.
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.
The following 2 new integrations can be used to add images to the app. Those images can be used as backdrops in screensavers (support for dashboard backdrop is coming soon).

Image integration allows adding image files and image URLs.
