@EdKo66 are you sure this is the right IDX for this switch? Looks like the picture is the on/off switch and the data output looks like the text device to me.

That is what's confusing me atm.

I created a text device, with IDX 113
.

When I return from the evil that is grocery-shopping, I will take another look at the scripts in that topic and see what I can do.

Try latest version!

[Nautilus]

Try to enable screens (one screen, it should show colums 1-3)

example

Code: Select all

//if you want to use multiple screens, use the code below:
var screens = {}
screens[1] = {}
screens[1]['background'] = 'bg1.jpg';
screens[1]['columns'] = [1,2,3]
//screens[2] = {}
//screens[2]['background'] = 'bg3.jpg';
//screens[2]['columns'] = [4,5,6]

The default config I started with had screens[1] enabled so yes I've tested that. It's only now when I saw the latest default config I also tried disabling the whole screens section

Hello Rob,
No text is shown just a switch. I've posted my rainscript info with a picture, so you can see how it looks like in Domotiz.

It is working now! I had to change the name of this text box to : 'Rain Expected' . But now it is working.! Tnx!

Ok, now I'm getting somewhere. I started with instructions here: https://gitlab.com/robgeerts/dashboard/ ... ositioning
and removed everything and then just added the three columns with idx's as suggested. And suddenly it works.

However, I cannot pinpoint what the issue was at first place. I can now add e.g. the screens and still working... I did a git pull as well, not sure if it can have some effect to all this.

You still need to install the script correct? If so and need help... just yell

[EdwinK]

I've got this script. Guess that is the wrong one? I don't see anywhere to place the idx for the switch/text

So, if you can help me

[HansieNL]

You got these two lines in your script? If not you got a different script.
-- Rain switch (ON when rain above threshold, else OFF)
local rainswitchname = "Regen verwacht" -- (str) name for switch to toggle
-- Virtual device (txt) displays textual result
local idxRegenmmUur = 286 -- IDX for virtual (text) sensor

You also got to change the following lines:
-- URL for data rewquest
local requesturl = "http://gadgets.buienradar.nl/data/raint ... lon='..lon"

Looks like it's a different one. Looking up yours. Is that the one on the first post?

[HansieNL]

Nope. I took that one from page 5.

[EdwinK]

Nope. I took that one from page 5.

That was the one I started with, but installed again. Now hoping it will work.

[pkrabben]

Nope. I took that one from page 5.

That was the one I started with, but installed again. Now hoping it will work.

I'm also looking for the right script that I can use.
So if anybody have it working can you please share the script

-- Op basis van de door u gewenste coördinaten (latitude en longitude) kunt u de neerslag tot twee uur vooruit ophalen in tekstvorm. 
-- De data wordt iedere 5 minuten geüpdatet. 
-- Op deze pagina kunt u de neerslag in tekst vinden: http://gps.buienradar.nl/getrr.php?lat=51&lon=3
-- De waarde 0 geeft geen neerslag aan (droog), de waarde 255 geeft zware neerslag aan. 
-- Gebruik de volgende formule voor het omrekenen naar de neerslagintensiteit in de eenheid millimeter per uur (mm/u):
-- Neerslagintensiteit = 10^((waarde-109)/32)

@HansieNL

I use the same rainscript but i dont have the switch with text, i never got this to work, can you explain how you got this to work?
Or do i just have to create a text switch with "Rain expected"? Beacause when i do that i only get "Hello world"
