Description
Been using Dashboard Screen Saver for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you set any web page as the screensaver on your Android TV. Pretty solid if you’re into home automation or smart home setups.
Here’s what you do: you just enter the URL of the webpage you want to display, like a dashboard from Home Assistant or MagicMirror. There’s also an option to set it to rotate through multiple pages, which is pretty cool. And the setup is super simple – just a couple taps and you’re good to go.
Look, if you’re into customizing your TV experience, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the Chromecast update made it a bit trickier to set up – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want a more personalized screensaver.
Editor Opinion
So here's my honest take on Dashboard Screen Saver. I've tested a bunch of productivity and home automation apps, and this one's a pretty solid option. The ability to display any webpage as your screensaver is really handy, and I like that you can cycle through multiple pages. Setup's a breeze too. The only real downside is the Chromecast issue, but the developer has workarounds for that. Overall, it's a great way to customize your Android TV experience.
