Great, thanks!

[mvveelen]

Working, thanks!

Is it also possible to change the Scene-names? Tried

Code: Select all

blocks[s1] = {}
blocks[s1]['title'] = 'Living';

But that was not the way to go.

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?

Add to custom.css:

Code: Select all

/* smaller .weather block */
.weatherfull > div div.day {
    margin-top: 0px;
}

.weatherfull > div div.icon {
    height: 60px;
    margin: 0px auto;
}
.weatherfull > div div.temp .nightT {
    padding-bottom: 0px;
}

You missed the quotes, in case of only number it's not need but for scenes, so when there's a S before the idx, you have to add quotes:

Code: Select all

blocks['s1'] = {}
blocks['s1']['title'] = 'Living';

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?

Denied!
Take a closer look at the if-row
(This is a function, designed to manually switch this, another user requested this)

Ok, got it.

Code: Select all

blocks[5]['switch'] = true;

Thanks!

Rob Thnx UV is working great now. only without the possibility of showing Graph

Another thing i noticed is that the function to change the background isn't working anymore.

the last working version i downloaded 19 of april, but haven't found where i had to look wat has changed.

[robgeerts]

Do you mean the changing background by time of the day?

[bierlaagh]

Do you mean the changing background by time of the day?

indeed. the background change by time of day

Code: Select all

var screens = {}
screens[1] = {}
screens[1]['background'] = 'bg1.jpg';
screens[1]['background_morning'] = 'bg_morning.jpg';
screens[1]['background_noon'] = 'bg_noon.jpg';
screens[1]['background_afternoon'] = 'bg_afternoon.jpg';
screens[1]['background_night'] = 'bg_night.jpg';
screens[1]['columns'] = [1,2,3]

[robgeerts]

indeed. the background change by time of day

Code: Select all

var screens = {}
screens[1] = {}
screens[1]['background'] = 'bg1.jpg';
screens[1]['background_morning'] = 'bg_morning.jpg';
screens[1]['background_noon'] = 'bg_noon.jpg';
screens[1]['background_afternoon'] = 'bg_afternoon.jpg';
screens[1]['background_night'] = 'bg_night.jpg';
screens[1]['columns'] = [1,2,3]

Fixed in latest version wich will be pushed somewhere this weekend

I am trying to add a domoticz group to dashticz, but the group has the same idx as one of my switches.
How can I do this?

[robgeerts]

add 's' before the idx number.

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

dont forget the quotes!

Hi everyone.. I still can't use your dashboard. (I'm the guy uploaded the change to your dashboard some pages back). I've just installed the last version but there are the same problem of a week ago (problem form me of course).
that's what appen if I use your dashboard in a smaller screen (like a phone)

Schermata 2017-04-22 alle 11.37.39 copia.jpg (144.76 KiB) Viewed 3087 times

that's is your dashboard with my code. (the page became scrollable up and down because of the resize)

Do you think that's possible to implement?
this is your dashboard with modification (if you remember I didn't modify nothing because I don't know how to. My brother made this to me so I can only share with you all the code hoping you'll find the code) http://dropcanvas.com/frli6

Well, in your first image, you use 3 columns wich is to much for a small screen.
Your brother changed it so you use 1 column (where titles have width of 12 en the switches width of 6).

Could you ask your brother what he has changed at creative.css or main.js?
I cannot spit through you code to find all changes

Together with @robgeerts I've created the possibility to read Wunderground's moonphase data. It will be released in the upcoming version...

moonphase.PNG (254.44 KiB) Viewed 3068 times

I'll try to explain what is needed

At first you need a LUA script to read the data from Wunderground. Don't forget to fill in the right values for your situation!
You also may want to change the dutch description of the different moon phases (8x) like 'volle maan':

Code: Select all

-- Variables to customize ------------------------------------------------
local moonpicture = "MoonPicture"           -- name of the uservar to write the name of the moonphase picture to
local checkvar = "MoonphaseCheck"           -- name of the uservar to check if update is allowed
local checktime = 3600                      -- check allowed every x seconds 3600 = 60 min. Check the wundergroud API limitation before changing this
local city = "<your town>"                        -- Your city for Wunderground API
local countryCode = "<YOUR COUNTRY CODE>"                    -- Your country code for Wunderground API
local idxmoonpercentage ='125'              -- Your virtual moon percentage illuminated Device ID
local idxmoonage ='131'                     -- Your virtual moon age Device ID
local idxmoonphase ='132'                   -- Your virtual moon phase Device ID
local idxmoonrise='124'                     -- Your virtual moon rise variable ID
local idxmoonset='127'                      -- Your virtual moon set variable ID
local wuAPIkey = "<your key>"         -- Your Weather Underground API Key
local DOMO_IP = "<your domo ip>"            -- Domoticz ip address
local DOMO_PORT = "<your domo port>"                    -- Domoticz port
local tempfilename = '/var/tmp/phase.tmp'   -- can be anywhere writeable
local debug=false                            -- false, true for domoticz log

function file_exists(path)
    -- function to check if a file exists
    local file = io.open(path, "rb")
    if file then file:close() end
    return file ~= nil
end

function timedifference(s)
    -- function to determine the difference in seconds between the current time and a given one
    year = string.sub(s, 1, 4)

    day = string.sub(s, 9, 10)
    hour = string.sub(s, 12, 13)
    minutes = string.sub(s, 15, 16)
    seconds = string.sub(s, 18, 19)
    t1 = os.time()
    t2 = os.time{year=year, month=month, day=day, hour=hour, min=minutes, sec=seconds}
    difference = os.difftime (t1, t2)
    return difference
end

function may_update(device, timeelapsed)
    -- function to check whether an update is allowed
    return uservariables_lastupdate[device] == nil or timedifference(uservariables_lastupdate[device]) >= timeelapsed
end

    end

return commandArray

EDIT: I've revised this script because there were a few errors in it.
Found a bug when the picturenumber length = 1 (eg. 0-9). The code to add a '0' before the picturenumber was not right. Corrected. See later posts. Script here updated as well.

As you can see there are some (dummy)devices that need to be created in Domoticz.
2 uservariables:
- MoonPicture
- MoonphaseCheck
Both of type string...

and 5 devices:
idx; Hardware; Name; Type; Axislabel
124; DummySwitch; Moon up; Text
125; DummySwitch; Moonpercentage; Percentage
127; DummySwitch; Moon under; Text
131; DummySwitch; Moon age; Custom Sensor; Days
132; DummySwitch; Moonphase; Text

Create these...
When debug is set to true the log should read something like:
LUA: Moonphase - Collecting data from: http://api.wunderground.com/api/key/ast ... laats.json
LUA: Moonrise: 4:23
LUA: Moonset: 14:17
LUA: Percent: 32%
LUA: Age: 24
LUA: Picture number: 34 Picture name: moon.34.png

When everything is up-and-running in Domoticz you need to make the following settings in config.js:
Create a variabele for the moonphase picture index:

Code: Select all

var _IDXmoonpicture		= 12; //index of the uservariabele MoonPicture

and a button:

Code: Select all

buttons.moon= {width:12, isimage:true, refreshimage:60000, image: 'moon'}

!Caution: image: 'moon' is a placeholder: it will be filled with the right moonphase-picture filename...

and finally a setting like this, to place the block in a column:

Code: Select all

columns[9]['blocks'] = ['blocktitle_3_3',buttons.moon,132,125]

EDIT: Revised LUA script. See above.
EDIT2: Revised the LUA script once more. See above.

Tried to get the newsfeed from Telegraaf.nl (http://feeds.feedburner.com/telegraaf/RiEs) but if I replace the Tweakers.net URL with the Telegraaf URL, the block disappears. Something wrong with the way I tried it?

Code: Select all

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

Okay, so far I understand. But then

As you can see there are some (dummy)devices that need to be created in Domoticz.
2 uservariables:
- MoonPicture
- MoonphaseCheck

Will I make this in the tab setup/More Option/User Variables?. If so, I get an err[rror]

and 5 devices:
idx; Hardware; Name; Type; Axislabel
124; DummySwitch; Moon up; Text
125; DummySwitch; Moonpercentage; Percentage
127; DummySwitch; Moon under; Text
131; DummySwitch; Moon age; Custom Sensor; Days
132; DummySwitch; Moonphase; Text

At least these i understand
