A face is one screen: photos, modular, home, controls, music, calendar, weather, timer, clock, flow, cameras or a companion. You swipe sideways between them. The same kind can be in the row more than once, for example two home faces with different widgets.
Gestures

|---|---|
| Swipe sideways | Previous or next face |

Steps: choosing and adding a face
- Swipe up from the bottom edge, or pinch with two fingers. The overview opens: your faces as cards side by side, each with its name above it. Pinching pauses briefly at the overview; keep pinching and you see all faces in a grid.
- Swipe sideways and tap the face you want.
- To add a face, tap + next to Customize, or swipe to the card Add Face at the end.
- Tap the kind of face. It is placed after the face that was in the middle.
Steps: ordering and hiding
- Keep pinching until the grid of all faces, or tap All Faces at the top left of the overview. Hidden faces are in it too.
- Tap Edit. The faces start to wiggle. Holding a face does the same.
- Drag a face to another spot.
- Tap the checkmark below a face to hide it or show it again.
- Tap Done, then Back for the overview, and tap the face you want to see.
Steps: customising a face
- Open the overview and put the face in the middle.
- Tap Customize.
- Choose a tab at the top. Which tabs there are depends on the face. Every face has COLOR or THEME, and OPTIONS; the modular face also has FONT and WIDGETS.
- Choose a style, font or option on the right. The face shows it right away.
- Tap the checkmark to save, or the cross to undo everything.
Steps: widgets on the home face
- Long-press the home face. The face enters edit mode.
- Tap + at the top right to add a widget. If the grid is full, remove a widget first or make one smaller: a new widget that doesn't fit drops off the end, without a message.
- Choose a source on the left (for example Clock, Weather or Lights). Swipe sideways on the right to pick a variant and tap Add Widget. You set the size afterwards with the corner (step 5).
- Tap a widget to open its settings, such as the device, the look or a custom name.
- Drag the glass corner at the bottom right to make the widget small, wide, tall or large.
- Tap − to remove a widget.
- Tap Done. Cancel undoes everything.
The small gear next to Done opens the app's Settings.
Steps: widgets on the modular face
- Long-press the modular face.
- Tap a slot. That widget's settings open.
- Tap Choose Another Widget to put a different widget in the slot.
- Tap Done.
Check
- The overview shows your faces in the order you set in the grid with Edit.
- After Done, the widgets are in the place and size you chose.

The music face is only there with Home Assistant. The PS5 companion only once Home Assistant reports a PlayStation; see PS5 companion.
A widget no longer fits
Whatever doesn't fit on the grid drops off at the end. Choose a smaller size, or more slots under OPTIONS › Grid, from 3 × 3 to 5 × 4.
