First, I use UD Mobile and EISY extensively now days to manage most of my IOT devices and for the most part it is great. I have two questions/requests.

1) I use folders in the Favorite area to provide a top level view of things with the ability to drill down into subfolders when more detail is needed. For example I have two EISY systems (one in our main home and one in our cabin) so I have two folders at the top level in Favorites, one for each house. When the Folder is pressed for either system it opens a top level page that contains important details for each system along with more folders that can opened to drill down into the details. The goal is to keep the opening page for each system limited to one page so it can be viewed without scrolling. The opening page contains things like Alarm system status, buttons for kay lights, the state of various doors/windows, and folders to drill down into things like door locks, temperatures, more light controls, water sensors, etc. So far this all works well with one exception. When the back button is pressed in any sub-folder it always goes back to the Devices and Scenes area of UD Mobile instead of returning to the parent folder. Is this be design or am I doing something wrong? If it is by design is there a workaround could be implemented? It would be way more convenient and intuitive if the back button returned to the parent folder.

2) Expanding on the 1st topic I also use the Advanced Status Configuration settings to control the color/icons/Info displayed on many of the buttons and folders. For the most part this meets all of the needs for conveying information concisely for the buttons and folders. The one exception I have run into is that the Advanced Status Configuration is only able to use the Node defined in the Favorite, that it is associated with, for its comparison function. I have some situations where it would be real handy to be able to specify the node that the Advanced Configuration Status uses for the comparison. For example, I have temperature buttons for various temperature sensors where each of the buttons shows the actual temperature in its status field. I then use the Advanced Status Configuration for each button to changed the color of the Icon to show weather the temperature is out of range for that sensor. For some sensors this is 3 states, High, Low, and Normal. This can be calculated easily in a program and assigned to a variable but if this variable is used for the Favorite then the actual temperature can't be displayed. It would be real handy if the node used for the Favorite and for its associated Advanced settings could be selected independently.

If there other ways to accomplish this I'm open to advice.

Here are some screen shots of several page configurations I have set up -

Top Level - The 2 houses

2nd Level - PF (Home)

3rd Level - Temperatures Folder

This is a bug in UDM for Android API 35 (maybe 34 also), will be fixed in the next release

I'm not sure I follow, but I think the same can be done by removing the variable and program from the equation?/ If the color is associated with the temperature in the display node the use calculation in UD Mobile. see https://wiki.universal-devices.com/UD_Mobile#Comparison

i.e Something like if status >= 0 degrees set color to blue, if status is >= 55 degrees set color to green, and if status is >=75 set color to red. Where >=75 is evaluated first, 55 second, and 0 third.

1) I thought the back arrow had worked at some point. I'll be patient.

2) I considered this approach but wasn't sure about the order of evaluation. The wiki entry explains this (I should have check the wiki first). I'll try this method and see if I can get it to work. Thanks

2) Update. I tried the comparison approach you proposed and that works as described. Thanks!
