sorry. I did, but couldn't find it

Update post 1 with needed dependencies?
sudo apt-get python-setuptools, Geofence etc. Those questions gets asked over and over, me included
I used a long to figure just which "language" you guys are talking. I barely know anything about linux and the RP.

As for Button and text size, they look the same even if I put in 100 pixels text and just incrase the button.css pixels by 100.
So i'll scratch that idea for now. On computer this is no problem, but on the pad hanging in the hallway, i'm missing big buttons that is easy to hit.

Maybe someone can also include how to place the config file and where. I understand the example file, but still no idea of and where to place this on the rasberry. Extensive search of the web hasnt given me the answer.

The config file is in the the Domoboard directory - the same directory as the server.py is in, make a myconf.conf file as a copy of example.conf, fill in the settings part - delete the rest and start building your own config file, using the example.conf as reference material

Actually it doesn't matter where to put the config if you give the path after the -c for example if you put the config in the home directory of you're user you can do the following:

Code: Select all

sudo python server.py -c /home/pi/test.conf

I know but I tried to keep it simple

you could fix it by let it running in the background or creating an service.
Because we are still developing we have it running under screen so the process will be active when we logout.

if you haven't installed screen you can run

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install screen

after that if you type

Code: Select all

screen

you will get in a new window.
If you start you're server there you can use the keyboard combination CTRL + A + D and you're screen will disappear in the background.

when you want to get back to you're screen session you can simply type:

Code: Select all

screen -d -r

Hi Squandor.
Seems the .css editing worked fine, I just noticed Chrome doesnt update design when refreshing the page, but Microsoft edge does.
Now I have huge buttons for scenes, on-off and dimmer slider which is really comfortable when using it on the tablet with the finger.

Do you know where the setpoint style is located? For thermostats.

Depends which setpoint the slider or the arrows?
The arrows are located in the buttons CSS I think but the slider is an combination of the bootstrap slider and the domoboard js

Changing the theme colours is possible by changing the CSS files. Mainly this will be custom.css. If you created some cool theme, feel free to share it.

Hi,
Sorry if where are so quiet, at the moment are priority goes to develop an procedure to create, edit and update the config using domoboard itself.

It's difficult to develop an webconfig editor because of the extendability of the config so if anyone has any idea's they are always welcome !

Could it be an idea to use xml based configuration and xsd as validation and xsd to document the possible modules and configuration options?

Unfortunately I'm not a coder. But I hope you guys take the time needed and work something out that works intuitive.
