Wish there was a way to have custom html widgets and customize the widgets sizes and just a normal google search bar

This t ruly looks awesome. Unfortunately, for me the Hue bridge discovery is not working (yes, the bridge is on the same network, and no there's no VPN involved - it also works with other apps on the same machine), so not sure about this part. But even without it this is very useful. A pity the discovery doesn't work for me.

This is really cool but for some reason it wont let me 'create scenes'. Also can't position widgets to where I would like (in edit mode) - the widget just snaps to a random place when trying to move it. EDIT: Ignore the last part. To add scenes you have to have saved some in the hue app for the option to appear on this extension.
