Hubitat Dashboard supports multiple buttons on a single device / tile and offers several ways to configure these.
By default, a single button device will show up like this:
A device that has multiple buttons (4) would show up like this:
By default, clicking on a button will bring up a larger dialog. From there, you can send different commands to the Hub:
1) click will send 'press' command 2) double-tap will send 'doubleTap' command 3) press and hold will send the 'hold' command
You can change the click behavior by setting the device's '' to be 'toggle' instead of 'prompt'. Then, clicking on the button on the main dashboard will send the 'press' command directly.
long-pressing on the button tile will bring up the device details dialog. From here, you can click, double-tap or press and hold on the button to send these commands to the hub.
If you have more than 1 physical button on your 'button' device, you can configure each of them individually to show text or an image.
long-press on a button to open up the details screen and hit "Edit" to view the edit screen
click on Manage Buttons to view all of the buttons for that device
To show an image instead of a label, click on the little picture icon next to the button you want to change
To change the button label, click on the large button with the current label (ie: "1")
Only 4 buttons will display on a single 1x1 tile. But, you can change the tile size to make up to 5 buttons visible on a tile if you change the size to be > 1 row tall
