I use Chrome (full screen) on my Nexus 7 tablet. If you select add to home screen in the Chrome menu, a shortcut will be created, via this shortcut the address bar is not given. Secondly I use Power Toggles and enable Immersive mode which will hide the Android top bar and on screen buttons.

I do have a Nexus 7 (old model) somewhere. Now, let's look that up and see if it still works.

No errors unfortunately.. only this output but I think that's not related to this problem:

Code: Select all

index.html#1:8 Error parsing a meta element's content: ';' is not a valid key-value pair separator. Please use ',' instead.
jquery.min.js:4 Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user's experience. For more help, check https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/.

In console, there's a network-tab.
If you click on the block wich opens the graph, you can see it calls an url... If you click on it, you see the output, what does it say?

In the attachment Chrome is on the left and while the available browser window size is different due to the headers I notice in Safari (on the right) I lose the bottom of the window and cannot scroll down to see it - looks like the window size is not being correctly picked up. Not a major issue but just wanted to let you know.

Well, the dashboard doesnt fit everything on the screen automatically..
You have to rearrange this to fit your screen on the device you will be using mainly.
Scrolling has been disabled because this conflicts with the slide function.

I have an UV meter, which gives the following output:
...
what do i have to change to replace On/off to the output (0.0 in this case)

Try latest version!

Hi Rob,

Is there a problem with the "news" button, RSS feed?
I also created a second news item

Code: Select all

 blocks['news_2'] = {}
blocks['news_2']['feed'] = 'http://feeds.feedburner.com/tweakers/nieuws';

But this doesn't work either.

Is this a common thing or local?

See the several questions about the same in the previous posts, with al the same answer.
Also noted on the Dashticz v2.0 wiki (http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Dashticz-v ... Parameters)

REMARK: In some cases the Newsfeed wouldn't load and you get NO results.
You have to put https://crossorigin.me/ before the newsfeed-url, like:

Code: Select all

blocks['news_2'] = {}
blocks['news_2']['feed'] = 'https://crossorigin.me/http://feeds.feedburner.com/tweakers/nieuws';

You only have to add it when news doesnt load. Some news sites are giving errors otherwise!

As this is already buried several pages back I'll post it again here in the hopes of getting feedback

1. I noticed the iframe block only grows in width (like the other blocks) where as to be able to fill the block nicely it would also need to grow in height - like for example the web camera block. Is this perhaps something that could be achieved with the custom.css or do you think it might be a good idea to implement this kind of behavior as default? I assume most use cases would benefit form this as otherwise the ratio of the block changes which (in most cases?) makes the iframe source look a bit funny.

2. When trying to fit stuff on my old (wall-mounted) iPad 2 I was thinking the "currentweather_big" takes a bit too much space. What would be the best way to make this a somewhat smaller, some custom.css approach perhaps?

I see it now, sorry for the double question.

I want to create a custom screen. How do I add the Scene Switches?

[HansieNL]

I want to create a custom screen. How do I add the Scene Switches?

It is possible to add the idx for scenes AND groups as:
s1, so for example, to add a scene or group with idx 1 and a lamp with idx 1:

columns[1]['blocks'] = ['s1',1]

Before you have to declare the scene in block

Code: Select all

var blocks = {}
 
blocks['s1'] = {}
blocks['s1]['width'] = 4; //1 to 12, remove this line if you want to use the default (4)
blocks['s1']['title'] = 'Living room' //if you want change the name of switch different then domoticz
blocks['s1']['icon'] = 'fa-eye'; //if you want an other icon instead of the default, choose from: http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/
blocks['s1']['image'] = 'bulb_off.png'; //if you want to show an image instead if icon, place image in img/ folder

see the wiki

@robgeerts:
Herewith some bugs and observations I noticed on the latest version (downoad at 19:15 today).
Bug: The new screen button has a little deviation in the selection on the + button. Only a part of the button is clicable (possibly some css error with margin or padding?)

Observation: The graph for gas and electricity are showing the value in the header as 1.650 m3 and 7.585 kWh). This should be coma seperated. Gas should be annotated as 1,650 m3. I know Domoticz is also not using localisation, so the problem might be comming from Domoticz

Obeservation/bug: graphs are showing a different annotation when hovered over the datapoints. E is using 0,0 and G 0.0. Water in my case is completely of. Should be in Liters (as is the header), now showing liters/1000. Might be that this is best set as a config item for the various types of water measurement.

Thanks again,

Ralph

Rob, do you know what causes this? Can we except a bugfix?

+I think whole bug reporting would be easier to follow if you migrate the project to GitHub and we can use GitHub's Issues page.

[robgeerts]

Will check some things tonight or tomorrow. @madrian, the bug is caused by your scriot when having more then 1 thermostats. I can look into this.

Ahh thanks!

And what about the graphical issue? The corners of the buttons are not clickable + icons are flashing. In original submit they functioned properly, but your buttons are much nicer.

+look what I found:

We should show combined blocks with a _combined suffix, example:

columns[4]['blocks'] = ['blocktitle_2',48,'24_combined'].

What do you think?

[EdwinK]

If that is possible, that would be great for some devices

Finally I managed to get some switches on the screen. I'm far from finished and I have some questions:

- whatever I try, I don't get the RSS news feed
- somehow the city 'Hoorn' isn't recognised. Hence I didn't get any weather info, so I'll pick a city nearby (...)
- How can I change every single switch-name when I have:

Code: Select all

var blocks = {}
blocks['blocktitle_1'] = {}
blocks['blocktitle_1']['type'] = 'blocktitle';
blocks['blocktitle_1']['title'] = 'Schakelaars';

blocks['news_2'] = {}
blocks['news_2']['feed'] = 'https://crossorigin.me/http://feeds.feedburner.com/tweakers/nieuws';

var columns = {}
columns[1] = {}
columns[1]['blocks'] = ['blocktitle_1','s1','s2',15,507,508,509,547,778,779,1179,1186,1461,1475,1529,1571,1815,2178,2179]
columns[1]['width'] = 5;

They are not flashing at my dashboard...
Anyone else with this problem? Maybe its because it is reloading the block every x seconds...

It's nice but I dont think it fits well for smaller screens... ?

columns[1]['blocks'] = ['blocktitle_1','s1','s2',15,507,508,509,547,778,779,1179,1186,1461,1475,1529,1571,1815,2178,2179]
columns[1]['width'] = 5;

You have to add 'news_2' to the block-definitions like:

Code: Select all

columns[1]['blocks'] = ['blocktitle_1','news_2','s1','s2',15,507,508,509,547,778,779,1179,1186,1461,1475,1529,1571,1815,2178,2179]

To change titles (for example device with number 15, add this code, just below var blocks = {}

Code: Select all

blocks[15] = {}
blocks[15]['title'] = 'Vet Dashboard';

So, full example would be:

Code: Select all

var blocks = {}
blocks[15] = {}
blocks[15]['title'] = 'Vet Dashboard';

blocks['blocktitle_1'] = {}
blocks['blocktitle_1']['type'] = 'blocktitle';
blocks['blocktitle_1']['title'] = 'Schakelaars';

blocks['news_2'] = {}
blocks['news_2']['feed'] = 'https://crossorigin.me/http://feeds.feedburner.com/tweakers/nieuws';

var columns = {}
columns[1] = {}
columns[1]['blocks'] = ['blocktitle_1','news_2','s1','s2',15,507,508,509,547,778,779,1179,1186,1461,1475,1529,1571,1815,2178,2179]
columns[1]['width'] = 5;

[madrian]

Just submitted a cosmetic bugfix: change switch's title/status position as it is for all other devices (first is status, second row is title).


Rob: maybe you are right, I am always thinking in tablet screen. Maybe we should create a poll about screen sizes?
