Dashticz - Show your dashboard and how-to's!

Maybe someone can help me.
My newsfeed stops after a time. When i refresh the news feed shows information. But after a time i get no more newsfeed information.
With refresh it works for a time. Then it stopt.

Is there a way to repeat this or something?

Which newsfeed are you using? Can you share the definition of the news block from your CONFIG.js here?

The following rules are at the config js for the newsfeed

config['default_news_url'] = 'http://www.nu.nl/rss/Algemeen';
config['news_scroll_after'] = '30';

blocks['news_2'] = {}
blocks['news_2']['feed'] = 'http://www.nu.nl/rss/Algemeen';

blocks['news_3'] = {}
blocks['news_3']['feed'] = 'http://feeds.feedburner.com/tweakers/nieuws';

columns[2] = {}
columns[2]['blocks'] = [
'weather',
'traffic',
'news_2',
'news_3',

I am having the same issue. Both newsfeeds I tested (nu.nl and Tweakers) stop showing text after a certain amount of time. Only by refreshing the page they start to work again.

Putting https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/ in front of the news feed url doesn't solve this behavior.

Thanks for sharing. Seems you have the same tablet I'm using.

Shouldn't this code be in custom.css?

I used the code given in this post

You are right..

Hi,

I have a switch devices that i cant click in dashticz. Its a on/off device that i can manage with a klik aan remote.
In fact it is an panic alarm-button with a alarm icon.

I found the problem: when i give this device an alarm icon in domoticz i cant manage it in dashticz.
When i use the default light bulb icon i can manage this device in dashticz...
Is this a bug or does dashticz intepretates the choosen icons?

There is indeed a small error in news.js. I guess refresh never works. I've created the PR. Probably it will be merged in the next beta of Dashticz.

Thanks for checking. Will wait for the new beta release.

I've an other question about the status of an group.

Now i have a group for open and closed the blinds. But the group is set with an lightbulb on/off
Is it possible to change the status for an group, for the blinds open/closed?
And is it possible to change the icon of the bulb with the open blinds and closed blind icon?

Thanks

config['calendarlanguage'] = 'nl_NL';
config['calendarurl'] = 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/';

var calendars = {}
calendars.peter = { maxitems: 5, icalurl: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ic ... xxxxxx.ics' }

Hi. I'm trying to run my dashboards, see previous posts, on a Huawei Mediapsd M5 Android tablet. But the performance is terrible and overall snappiness is just not good enough. The server is a pretty much up to date Windows box. Should I expect good performance out of Dashticz?

I'm working on my dashboard, but when I add the water meter I don't see the used liters today values but an ? with a total value and not the daily.
Any ideas how to solve this?

I think the sub-optimal performance has do to with Android and how WebView and the Chromium engine handles the Dashticz html and Javascript code. Even if I just add the date and time block, the time only updates like each 30-45 seconds.

I have tried both Chrome and Fully Kiosk Browser, and they behaves pritty much the same.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Rendering my dashboards in chrome on a windows machine works pretty good.

Normally Dashticz runs pretty well, also on android devices.
Are you running the beta version? There are several issues with the master version.
Performance will be less if the refresh rates are very fast. You can adapt them via the several parameters.
If you have a lot of Domoticz devices then performance may also be reduced. You can add the devices you need to a plan in Domoticz and only load that plan in Dashticz.

Dashticz interprets the Domoticz device information according certain rules, which doesn't always work correctly.

Can you post the result of the following:

Code: Select all

http://192.168.178.18:8080/json.htm?type=devices&rid=123

Use the IP address and port of your own Domoticz server. Replace 123 with the Domoticz device ID of your watermeter.

Yes, I'm running the beta version. Does it actually matter which domoticz plan the devices are in if I'm using
config['auto_positioning'] = 0;

Which refresh rates would you suggest modifying?

With the setting config['room_plan'] = '3';
Dashticz will only load the device information from devices on room plan id=3.
(of course you then have to add the relevant devices to room plan 3 in Domoticz)

If you have a lot of devices in Domoticz then this may reduce the amount of data that Dashticz has to handle significantly.

Other settings that may impact performance:
config['domoticz_refresh'] = '10'; // Normally it's 5 (seconds)

in button and frame definitions: make all refresh, refreshimage, refreshiframe parameters at least 60000 (=1 minute)

Hi, It may be a little to early to conclude yet, but it seems like the logging button was one of the problems. Dashticz does query Domoticz for logs constantly, not only when the logging popup windows is displayed after pressing the button.

Also the moon image button had refreshimage set to 60000. There is no reason to update the moon image that frequent, the moon does not move that fast

[JimmyH1969]

...the moon does not move that fast

3,683 kilometers per hour is pretty fast

Haha, you are absolutely right Unfortunately the distance is on average 384 403 km from the earth. So I will hardly spot a change every 60 seconds

The Moon moves around the Earth in an approximately circular orbit, going once around us in approximately 27.3 days, or one sidereal period of revolution. As it does this its position changes, relative to the stars.
Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, the Moon moves (on the average) 360 / 27.3 or 13.2 degrees per day relative to the stars, which is just over half a degree per hour, and approximately equal to its apparent size. This means that from night to night the Moon moves a little more than one hand-width to the East (the direction of its motion around the Earth) relative to the stars, and from hour to hour it moves about one diameter to the East, among the stars.
