Yea, we are working on feature requirements collection and evaluate them fully, for now, in next version, planned to bring the tiles of lights, sensors, and charts of TH and POW devices to the Cast, and yes, pre-set wallpapers and widget for calendar and weather are on the list too, stay tuned with us. ---
