Answers before you get stuck
Why is a widget unavailable?
Its source module may be off, or the related integration may not be installed and tested.
Does the TV need a login?
No. The TV opens the private launch link. Rotate it or restrict it by network to control access.
Why don’t changes appear instantly?
Boards refresh every 30 seconds.
