Dashticz - General Discussions

[gijsje]

Thanks that works

[verdeel]

Hi,

I'm new with domoticz and dashticz with no experience in programming in js. I do have some other experience (python, lua, c++)

I'm very happy with the possibilities of dashticz and am trying to learn to do some customization. I'd like to be able to program custom icons/buttons for some automated curtains, as the blinds (with up/down button) is not representative for the actual situation.

But I need to start with something simple, so Im trying to add (to custom.js, after the getExtendedBlockTypes function) the getBlock_233 example from the wiki and change it to get some different icons. I've changed 233 to my IDX (87) so the first line of the functions is: function getBlock_87(device,idx){

Then i've also changed the file names of the images, just to see if they change on the dashboard:

Spoiler: show

if(device['Status']=='Off') html+='<img src="img/kliko_red.png" class="off icon" />';
else html+='<img src="img/kliko_green.png" class="on icon" />';

But nothing is changing on the dashboard. Any pointers on what I can do or where I can get more examples are appreciated!

There are several of us out there who are having problem getting Google maps to display with the new dashboard. Several questions have been asked but they get buried in the main thread, so I've created a dedicated thread.

I think have the gm_ variables set correctly

Code: Select all

config['gm_api'] = 'xxxxxxxxx';
config['gm_zoomlevel'] = '4';
config['gm_latitude'] = 'xx.xxx';
config['gm_longitude'] = '-x.xxx';

and have tried two approaches:
The old approach

Code: Select all

columns[11] = {};
columns[11]['blocks'] = ['currentweather_big','weather','trafficmap'];
columns[11]['width'] = 5;

and

Code: Select all

var maps = {};
maps.stneots = {key:'stneots', width:5, latitude: xx.xx, longitude: -x.xx, zoom:9};

columns[11] = {};
columns[11]['blocks'] = ['currentweather_big','weather','maps.stneots'];
columns[11]['width'] = 5;

Neither work.

Am I missing some other code that needs to be included to get the new approach to work?

I tried this morning with this code and it worked

Code: Select all

var maps = {};
maps.place = { height: 450, width:4, latitude: xx.xx, longitude: -x.xx, zoom:9 }

columns[11] = {}
columns[11]['blocks'] = [maps.place];
columns[11]['width'] = 12;

Hi
Sorry, what code? I see no code at that URL, only the positioning config that I used for my second example.

[koowee]

Hi

That url is pointing direct to a forum post where is a workaround to this map problem (var_maps and column part).

I have config part like this. Zoomlevel without single quotes and with correct lat and lon

Code: Select all

config['gm_api'] = 'APIKEY';
config['gm_zoomlevel'] = 3;
config['gm_latitude'] = 'xx.xxxxx';
config['gm_longitude'] = 'xx.xxxxx';

Other code I have related to this map. maps.location part is without "key" part what you have

Code: Select all

var maps = {}
maps.location = { height: 450, width:4, latitude: xx.xxxxxx, longitude: xx.xxxxx, zoom:12 }

Code: Select all

columns[16] = {}
columns[16]['blocks'] = [maps.location];
columns[16]['width'] = 12; 

Code: Select all

screens[4] = {}
screens[4]['background'] = 'bg.jpg';
screens[4]['columns'] = [16]

[garethhowell]

OK, sorted it. I had some extraneous quotes.

Thanks for your assistance.

[garethhowell]

I've just noticed that there is a mixture of commas and decimal points when presenting decimal data. Temperature blocks use commas ( as in 23,4) whereas thermostats use decimal point (15.5).

Can this be configured somewhere. I'd like usage to be consistent.

Are you actually collecting google analyticz data from everyones dashticz?

Code: Select all

		<script>
		  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
		  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
		  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
		  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

		  ga('create', 'UA-102837285-1', 'auto');
		  ga('send', 'pageview');

		</script>

Mwhhb. ?
What do you mean??
A backdoor??

In which file(s)?

PS: it's in the index.html file
Have you tried to remove it?

No, not a backdoor. Google analyticz collects visitordata from websites. What IP adress they use, device, time/date, time spent on each page, what webpage they came from. Its used on almost every website in the world BUT when it comes to someones smarthome controller i think this is a very very bad thing to include as the creator of dashticz probably will be able to collect a lot of data from this.

Yes, in the index file.
It should be no problem to remove it, or even change it with your own. Its not a "dangerous" thing but it is very strange to include it without letting the user know that its there and what data is being collected and what its used for.

guys, seriously !
GA is not a bad thing, it may help improving this development.
almost every website is using it, probably this forum as well.. there is no personal information being reported here whatsoever.
as far as i can see, it may also tell how much live installation on this development it being used.
if it helps - i agree.. and so do everyone here should agree for this.

I second this. No problem with Google Analytics, I use it myself on my websites / installations.
And indeed there is no personal informatie being reported.

Maybe a dumb question but how does this work as dashticz is used within your local network? Besides the fact that is does not share personal info, I prefer to have my home automation cut off from the outside world as much as possible.

There are probably hundreds other applications that cumminicate with the "internet" on your device that runs dashticz..
GA doesn't make it volnerable..
This doesn't mean someone can access your dashticz from the internet unless you forwarded relevant ports to your internal IP..

You can simply make sure your device doesn't have an internet connection by using static internal IP and removing default Gw and dns

Hi,

I've a problem with webcam ! nothing appear .
I set up the CONFIG.js correctly i think , but , nothing !

var buttons = {}
buttons.webcam1 = { width:6, isimage:true, refresh:2000, image: 'http://admin:[email protected]/web/tmpfs/snap.jpg', url: 'http://admin:[email protected]/web/tmpfs/snap.jpg'}

Something wrong ??

[woody4165]

Try to open the link directly from the browser exactly as written in the url field. Try also another browser if you are using Chrome. AFAIK Chrome does not support anymore passing user:pass in the url
