Chris,
the current feedback of the command being successful is the progress
display on the button disappears without an error toast. But you're
right, that can easily be missed, especially with a fast connection. An
explicit success feedback would be better.
Regarding the "two homelink buttons", I assume you mean the quick
actions on the home screen. Those are just the defaults, click long on
the buttons to customize.
Regards,
Michael
