Dashticz - Feature Requests

[Derik]

is there a way to update Dashticz without to replace everything??

[EdwinK]

Yes.. Make a backup of everything in the custom folder

Then in your dashticz folder do a 'git pull' (if you used git to install) or

just download the packages and move all to your dashticz folder, after that, just put the custom folder back.

But.. make backup first.

This is what a want to try in dashticz with some help (i'm not a coder) . I have a synology where LMS (logitech media server) is running. A use this on my domoticz and also on my dashticz (see screenshot). But what a like to want is see the cover from what is playing. I found some info and files (Thanks to pvm) on a older forumpost http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... ipt#p39828.
And that is what a want to see integrate (if possible) in dashticz. The zip file http://www.domoticz.com/forum/download/file.php?id=2911 from the older post in the link contain some php files and one js file.
A try to implant the music.js file in to my custom map where to put custom js files but nothing happen. Is there someone who can help my , and others , to fix this ? Thanks

If you made the backup of the CUSTOM folder, do a GIT PULL.

See also the WIKI page.

If you installed Dashticz V2 with the git clone command, than it's possible to update to the latest version:

Logon to your system with SSH and go to the \domoticz\www\<dashticzv2 folder> folder
Enter git pull and there will be looked if there is an update from the current version. WARNING! First make a backup of the custom folder otherwise some files may be overwritten.

[Derik]

is there perhaps a live feeds as background possible...
A Cam from a place.... with a refresh mode from x minutes or seconds......

That is nice feature i think

[Derik]

If you made the backup of the CUSTOM folder, do a GIT PULL.

Only how?

You wanna know how to make a backup or how to git pull? Please be more specific, so we can help you.
If you like you can send me a PM and we can speak Dutch... maybe that's easier to understand

I'm looking for a simple solution to react to events (state changes).

The idea is to have Dashticz to react on specific statuses and when something important happens, switch to a specific screen, bring up a status window or as you already started with, play a sound.

It does not have to be a complicated solution, all the scripting and complex logic should be done in Domoticz. But if we could get Dashticz to react to state changes like a door bell, motion sensor, fire alarm aso. It could also be temperature, wind or other values but that kind could be solved in Domoticz and toggle a virtual switch that Dashticz reacts to.

Some examples:

Code: Select all

blocks[110] = {}
blocks[110]['name'] = 'Fire alarm';
blocks[110]['playsound'] = 'sounds/alarm.mp3';
blocks[110]['showscreen'] = 5;  // Alert screen flashing red

Code: Select all

blocks[110] = {}
blocks[110]['name'] = 'Door bell';
blocks[110]['playsound'] = 'sounds/ding.mp3';
blocks[110]['showscreen'] = 10;  // Screen showing web cam on front door

Code: Select all

blocks[110] = {}
blocks[110]['name'] = 'HighTempInCooler';
blocks[110]['playsound'] = 'sounds/ding.mp3';
blocks[110]['showsplash'] = 'Temperatur in cooler is to high!';  // Text to display in modal pop-up

One can think of several other reactions, but these are a start. The "showscreen" and "showsplash" names are just examples, pick whatever is most suitable.

Thats the next step after the sound-function is working properly

I just started with Dashticz (which is actually great!!), and I have some feature requests already:

• Change the color of the icon based on a switch in Domoticz (f.e. if my Nest-thermostat is heating (I can see it in Domoticz as a switch), I want to change the color of the room temperature icon in Dashticz)
• Different titles for sensors with multiple values (f.e. 144_1 and 144_2)
• Some kind of 'dummy' title blocks, to add some spaces between seperate blocks of information
• And maybe the same for columns (add some space between the columns, but maybe I can do that in CSS).
• For RSS/news/calendar feeds: when there are multiple items to display, it would be nice to make 'pages' with f.e. 5 lines. (I want to use it for traffic jams, so I see the first five jams, but I want to scroll/swipe/press a button to view the next five)

Keep up the super duper good work!

It would be nice if the graphs get an update, some improvement points:

- A change so they can also work with 7 day logs
- A bar graph for days and a line for one day.
- Possibility to add colors

[godinperson]

A Kodi widget would be nice, something like this: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hn9QvlyWj-Q/W ... uttons.jpg

Hey Rob, did you get that Feature requests? Pretty hard to follow with all those messages.

I can't program but I can help gathering the needed information.

Thanks

[robgeerts]

Yes i got this. There is one already working but. Yoi can find ir somewhere in the general discussions topic.. sorry not on my laptop anymore to find it...

But I am thinking of program this as a separate widget, without domoticz. Will get back to this soon..

Id like to see the possibility to change the icon/text on my thermostat (Toon) for the actual temp this is possible but for the setpoint

Is this something Rob can do? If you need any help! let me know!

[gleltz]

From the domoticz/Sonos API plugin you can get the following JSON output.

http://192.168.1.30:5005/woonkamer/state

{"currentTrack":{"artist":"The Phil Collins Big Band","title":"Hold On My Heart (Live)","album":"A Hot Night In Paris (Live)","albumArtUri":"/getaa?s=1&u=x-sonos-http%3alibrarytrack%253ai.182860842.mp4%3fsid%3d204%26flags%3d8224%26sn%3d7","duration":396,"uri":"x-sonos-http:librarytrack%3ai.182860842.mp4?sid=204&flags=8224&sn=7","type":"track","stationName":"","absoluteAlbumArtUri":"http://192.168.1.61:1400/getaa?s=1&u=x- ... 4%26sn%3d7"},"nextTrack":{"artist":"The Phil Collins Big Band","title":"Chips and Salsa (Live)","album":"A Hot Night In Paris (Live)","albumArtUri":"/getaa?s=1&u=x-sonos-http%3alibrarytrack%253ai.182860846.mp4%3fsid%3d204%26flags%3d8224%26sn%3d7","duration":323,"uri":"x-sonos-http:librarytrack%3ai.182860846.mp4?sid=204&flags=8224&sn=7","absoluteAlbumArtUri":"http://192.168.1.61:1400/getaa?s=1&u=x- ... ade":false}}

I would like a button or frame with the Album Art picture in it. You can get the picture with a variable link like the blue part.

Could someone can give me some information how I can solve this within Dashticz?

Thanks

The title can be changed by blocks[IDX]['title'] = 'Title'; Change to your own IDX and title text you want.
Got a Toon thermostat myself and just tried. Only change of icon didn't work.

Hi, can one of you experts implement german traffic rss feed such http://www.swr.de/export/rss/verkehr or others?

I mean switch not change, so first the name and then the temp. The blocks switch code doesnt work here.

[robgeerts]

Just tested this and it works:

Code: Select all

blocks[145] = {} // My "huiskamer"
blocks[145]['switch'] = true;

blocks['144_2'] = {} // My Thermostaat
blocks['144_2']['switch'] = true;
