[Theme] - Machinon v2 - schemes, Theme Hub, icon-pack installer

[Ragdag]

I installed your theme yesterday and it looks great. I would appreciate an option to suppress the Machinon title bar. Maybe it is already possible but not obvious in the interface. I have not taken the time to investigate (I am lazy ).

Keep up the good work!

Yes you can, look at the theme settings

Machinon v2.4.0 is out

Notifications reworked

The pop-up messages got a full overhaul. They now follow your colour scheme, in every scheme and in dark mode, instead of the old fixed style. A sensor that keeps timing out no longer warns you again on every page you visit: each device warns once until the problem actually clears, and several warnings at once merge into one summary instead of a flood. The single warnings switch is now two, one for sensor timeouts and one for low battery, and a new setting lets you choose how often a device that already warned you may warn again. Error messages from Domoticz itself, which the theme was accidentally hiding, show up again too.

Every setting, checked

Every setting in the Theme Hub was tested against what its label promises, one by one, and the ones that had quietly stopped working were repaired. The most visible of those: the slider-style on/off toggles on switch cards had died on recent Domoticz betas after an internal change in Domoticz itself, and they are back. "Center popup dialogs" used to center only the edit-style dialogs and now really centers all of them, and the expand arrow on floorplan device popups works again.

While going through them, every setting also got a clearer name and a plainer explanation in the Theme Hub itself. What each setting does is unchanged; it is just easier to tell what you are switching before you switch it.

Documentation

The settings documentation was rewritten in plain language: one short explanation per setting of what you see and what changes when you flip it, instead of a technical table. It lives here: https://domoticz.github.io/Machinon/settings-reference/

Also in this release

• The brightness sliders in the floorplan device popup now look like the card sliders, and the card slider itself is fully rounded again.
• The name on a camera card sits on a small readable plate instead of being painted straight onto the picture.
• Links inside a device's readings are readable again on the light colour schemes.
• Colour schemes you build yourself now get readable status and energy colours automatically, and the Gruvbox schemes' warning colours were fixed.

Update

Code: Select all

Machinon v2.5.0 is out

Machinon now speaks your language

The Theme Hub is no longer English-only. Every tab, every setting name and its explanation, the colour scheme picker, the theme wizard, the icon library and all of the theme's own pop-up messages now follow the language you picked in Setup > Settings, in English, German, French, Dutch, Polish and Swedish. Anything not yet translated in your language simply shows in English instead of breaking, and corrections are welcome: each language is one file on GitHub, so a fix is a small pull request.

Fixes

• The camera previews on the dashboard are full size again. In 2.4.0 they collapsed to a thin strip showing little more than the camera name.
• The media remote popup (Kodi, Logitech Media Server, HEOS) opens at full size on a phone again instead of collapsing to just its title bar, and no longer opens as a squeezed sliver with "Center popup dialogs" turned on.
• On both dashboards, the "x ago" last-seen line now lines up with the rest of the card instead of stopping short of its right edge.
• When several sensors warn at once, the combined message lists each device on its own line instead of one long comma-separated sentence.
• The "Apply Settings" button on the Setup pages stays red when you point at it, instead of turning into what looked like a different button.

Update

Code: Select all

Very nice set up. The language dutch changes into English when selecting themes

Translation is now also done

Machinon v2.6.0 is out

Know when something needs attention

Domoticz always knew which sensors had gone quiet and which batteries were running low, but you had to go looking. Now the theme tells you. A warning icon appears at the right of the header, with a count, whenever devices are timed out or low on battery, and it stays out of the way when everything is healthy. Click it and you land on the new Problem Devices page: every affected device on one list, with the same warning icons the pop-ups use, what is wrong, and when each device last reported (always in 24-hour time). Click a row and the theme takes you to that device on its own page, showing just that device; a small bar clears the view again. The page is also reachable from a new Problem Devices tile in the Settings menu, for the happy days when the badge has nothing to show.

The pop-up warnings themselves join in: a sensor-timeout or battery warning now carries a "Show these devices" button that filters the page you are on to just the devices it names.

Search grew up

Search now matches several words in any order, so "bedroom lamp" finds a device named "Lamp Bedroom", and it shows how many devices matched right inside the box, with a button to clear it. What you typed stays put when you move between pages instead of being wiped on every navigation. The classic dashboard finally searches a device's number, hardware and type like every other page (it used to check only the name there), and the camera previews are searched too. On pages that have no search, the box now clearly shows as disabled.

Fixes

• Typing in search no longer makes all the device cards shift and grow on wide screens.
• On phones, opening the search no longer makes the page content jump, and the bar that clears a filtered view sits at the bottom of the screen where it never covers anything.
• On the Temperature and Weather pages, the favorite star works again and no longer hides inside a card's 3-dot menu; a change in recent Domoticz builds had silently broken it.

Machinon v2.7.0 is out

A new version of the Machinon theme is available. The main changes:

Keyboard and screen reader support

• The on/off toggles on device cards can now be reached with Tab and switched with Space, and screen readers announce them with the device name.
• On phones and zoomed-in screens the menu button works from the keyboard (Enter opens, Escape closes).
• In the Theme Hub, colour schemes can be picked with the keyboard, the scheme in use is always marked, and the tabs work with the arrow keys.

Search

• A search that finds nothing on the current page now says so, with a button to clear it, instead of leaving an empty page. This also covers a search that carried over from the previous page.

Faster and lighter

• Pages left open, for example on a wall tablet, use noticeably less processor time.
• On slower devices pages no longer jump from a narrow column to full width right after they open.
• The Theme Hub only downloads the icon library when you open its Icons tab.

Easier to read and other fixes

• Better contrast on the Log page status bar, the Theme Hub descriptions, and devices that stopped reporting (their last reading now stays readable).
• Corrected German, French, Polish and Swedish texts in the diagnostics section, and the Icon Library page is now translated.
• The custom page button shows the name you set right away.
• Small security hardening of a few theme settings.

How to update
If you installed from the dist branch: run git pull inside the machinon folder, then hard-refresh your browser (Ctrl+Shift+R).
Other install methods and the full list of changes: release notes on GitHub.

Feedback and bug reports are welcome on GitHub or in this thread.

Machinon v2.7.1 is out, a small fix release:

• Devices on disabled hardware stand out again: grey glow, a "blocked" sign next to the name, and the icon, name and controls dimmed. Domoticz only shows these devices when "Hide disabled hardware sensors" is turned off in its settings.
• Floorplans: the "Wind arrow direction" setting now also applies to wind devices on a plan, and with "Relative times" on the device popup shows "5 minutes ago" instead of the raw date.
• Search filters as soon as you paste or dictate text, not only after clicking away.
• The Theme Hub now tells you when it can't use a custom logo or device photo name instead of silently showing the default.
• Toggles switch without sliding when your device is set to reduce motion.
• Swedish translation improvements, thanks to DewGew.

I haven't commented on your excellent work and fine theme. So here it is:

Kudos!

I have been using it for a few months now and it performs really well. No issues to be tackled, no wishes to be granted. It just works like I want it.

Machinon v2.8.0 is out

New: copy a device's details from its card
Open a device card's menu (the three dots) and click the Idx row at the bottom.

image-1792071642550.png (18.33 KiB) Viewed 724 times

Four copy actions open underneath:

• Copy idx: just the device number
• Copy for dzVents: a ready line to paste into a script, for example:

  Code: Select all

  domoticz.devices(16) -- Possible Rain

• Copy API URL: the JSON API address that reads this device

  Code: Select all

  http:/dz.home.lan:8081/json.htm?type=command&param=getdevices&rid=9

• Copy device details: name, type, hardware, device ID, value and last update, plus your Domoticz and Machinon versions. Handy when you ask for help here.
  

  Code: Select all

  Device: Is it Raining (idx 9)
  Type: Lighting 2, AC, On/Off
  Hardware: Buienradar
  Hardware type: Buienradar (Dutch Weather Information)
  Device ID / unit: 0000001 / 1
  Value: Off
  Last update: 2026-10-14 13:31:48
  Domoticz 2026.4 (build 18475), Machinon 2.7.3

Scene and group cards get the right variant (domoticz.scenes() or domoticz.groups()). If your browser blocks copying, which can happen on a plain http:// address, the text appears in a small box, already selected, for you to copy yourself.

Fixed

• On iPhone and iPad, pinch-to-zoom works again on every page. Tapping a small field may zoom the page in slightly again, as it did before 2.7.2; pinch out to return.

Update
If you installed from the dist branch: git pull inside the machinon folder, then hard-refresh your browser (Ctrl+F5).

Machinon 2.9.0 is out

Heads-up first: Machinon 2.9.0 needs Domoticz 2026.1 or newer. From now on Machinon supports every Domoticz stable release from the last 12 months, plus the current beta. Domoticz 2025.2 is now more than a year old, so it is no longer supported.

Still on 2025.2? Then stay on Machinon 2.8.1 for now: download the zip from the 2.8.1 release, and don't update the theme with git pull or a plugin until you have updated Domoticz.

What's fixed

• The Cameras section on the dashboard now appears together with the rest of the page, instead of loading late and pushing everything below it down. It also no longer sometimes goes missing, and the phone layout no longer shows an empty "Cameras" heading.
• The favourite star on scene and group cards now shows whether the scene is on the Dashboard, and clicking it on a favourite removes it again.
• In a floorplan's device popup, the expand arrow, favourite star and camera icons now use the theme's own icons and colours.
• On a phone, the Backup, Restore and Vacuum Database buttons in Setup no longer touch each other.
• The diagnostics report now names Safari, Chrome and Firefox on iPhone and iPad, instead of "other".

The Cameras section also asks Domoticz for less: it used to fetch the full camera list, including each camera's address and login. It now only fetches the names of the enabled cameras.

Updating
If you installed from the dist branch: run git pull inside the machinon folder, then hard-refresh your browser (Ctrl+Shift+R). Other install options are in the README.

Show us your Machinon, and tell us what is missing

Machinon has had quite a few releases since the relaunch, and I would love to hear how you are actually using it. So this is an open invitation:

• Show your setup. A screenshot of your dashboard, a floorplan, your colour scheme, phone or desktop. Blur anything you would rather keep private.
• What do you like? What works well for you and should stay exactly as it is.
• What bugs you? Something that feels slow, cluttered, hard to find or just a bit off.
• What is missing? Something you keep wishing Machinon did.

What I am aiming for
My goal for Machinon is simple: fast, clean and functional. Every feature has to earn its place, so I would rather do a few things really well than add things for the sake of adding them.

Found a bug?
Please report it on GitHub: https://github.com/domoticz/Machinon/issues. If you switch on Diagnostic logging in the Theme Hub and press Copy diagnostics, you can paste the result straight into the report. It contains no device names and is safe to share publicly, and it usually lets me find the cause much faster.

Looking forward to seeing your setups!

This is a simply preview from my dashboard

Machinon 2.10 is out: light and dark mode

The big one in this release: every colour scheme is now one theme with a light and a dark version, and you choose how it shows.

Light, Dark or Follow device
In the theme settings, Colors and schemes tab, each theme (Machinon, Magenta, Paper, Gruvbox, and the ones you made with the wizard) is now a single card. Pick the theme, then pick Light, Dark or Follow device. Follow device switches along with your phone or computer's own light/dark setting, on each device separately, so the wall tablet can stay light while your phone goes dark at night.

A sun/moon switch
There is a small sun/moon switch in the header (in the menu on a phone). It flips only the screen you are looking at between the light and dark version, without changing your settings or anyone else's screen. Don't want it? Turn it off with Light/dark toggle on the same tab.

Your colours stay as they were
After updating nothing changes: if you used a dark scheme, the mode is set to Dark, and the same for light. New installations start in Follow device. Dark schemes also no longer flash white while a page loads (from the second visit in each browser).

Energy page
The Energy page is now readable in the light schemes: the icons in the bubbles are no longer white on white, the rings and lines each have their own visible colour, and prices are no longer faded. On a phone held upright the diagram is shown large enough to read; swipe sideways to see all of it.

Also fixed

• On Domoticz 2026.1, the sensor timeout and low battery warnings and the RGBW colour popup are back on after updating Machinon.
• On the phone dashboard with Domoticz 2026.4 or newer, a switch that is off lights up its Off button again.
• On phones, the icons-only menu opens wider so its icons have room.
• 2.10.1: when several people log in on the same browser, each now keeps their own colours and settings.

Manual: https://domoticz.github.io/Machinon/

Updating: if you installed from the dist branch, run git pull inside the machinon folder and hard-refresh your browser (Ctrl+Shift+R). Otherwise download the zip from the release page.

As always, let me know here or on GitHub if something looks off, and I'm curious which mode you end up using.
