## Fix Widgets

This part of the app still needs a major overhaul, as suggested in a couple of other #Wishlist topics:

> I’d like to make a widget request for Android. I like that they are an option but if they’re just linking to a device, they’re much too large. Also, it would be nice for things that are able to be toggled to have a widget do that. For example, lights or lock. It would be convenient to be able to tap the widget and toggle that device. [Mod Edit]: Title modified to enhance search clarity.

Android widgets are also currently mislabeled according to the updated app terminology:

> Given that Wyze seemed to make a big deal about “Rules” now being called “Automations” in their marketing e-mail messages, [on their Web site](https://www.wyze.com/pages/wyze-app#ImageWithText--template--17063386775714__image_with_text_iCAkQg), and [in a relevant Help Center article](https://support.wyze.com/hc/en-us/articles/26188587920795#:~:text=Automations%20(formerly%20Rules)), why do the Android widgets in the new app still show options for “Rule 3 × 3”, “Rule 5 × 2”, and “Rule 5 × 5”?

Some things are just currently broken:

- If I place a “Favorite Devices 5 × 3” widget, then I get a list of devices that I have no apparent way of rearranging or editing to show the actual Favorites that I want displayed in the widget view.
- In that same widget, the first thing at the top of the list is my doorbell, and to the right side is a label that says **Off**. This is wrong because
  - The doorbell is on and recording
  - The grey **Off** label looks like it _could_ be a toggle switch (other devices in the widget’s list have green **On** labels), but tapping it doesn’t change its status
  - Tapping this label actually takes me to the last camera device I had open in the app, which is not the Video Doorbell v2 but a Cam v4 I was viewing before

- Even the “Favorite Device 3 × 3” widget I place and select the doorbell is taking me to that same Cam v4 when I tap it.

This is just a mess and not working as expected at all. Wyze should clean this up and start with a new “Favorite Device/Group 1 × 1” widget that can act like a single icon launcher/deep link into a specific chosen Device’s and/or Group’s main screen within the app.
