After getting to know Dashticz since 2 days ago, I'm getting the hang of it (with some help from people here )

Care to share your settings?

Especially the graph bar id like to use or is this something standard nowadays?

Hello all,

Here is my "work in progress"
Lampen standaard settings etc
Netwerk etc true crontab ping every 4 minutes
"Wie is thuis" also via crontab telefoon ping on wifi netwerk
Verkeers info changed to Belgie (link changed in traffic.js)

Afval kalender didnt work in the "beta" versie because dashticz.nl is not online so everything brought bakc to the old version.
Alot of switches are not visable yet,but will be on the other screens.

I only seems not to get the normal google calendar to work???

But its all work in progress still

Can you share you entire config please?

[wokkelp]

Is there anyone that still has the traffic information (NL) working?
It seems that I can't get it to work and I am wondering if it is still working.
Anyone care to explain please?

Still working here with latest beta https://github.com/Dashticz/dashticz_v2/tree/beta
See https://dashticz-v2.readthedocs.io/en/l ... sport.html for explanation how to get traffic information.

Thank you! I did't even know that website existed, all I had was the wiki on main domoticz wiki

Since my last dashboard got lost I started over with a clean slate.
Now I just cannot get my Harmony Hub to work in Dashticz... It works in Domoticz though...
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I found the problem. When installing Dashticz the custom.js contains:

Code: Select all

 //add custom javascript in here
function afterGetDevices(){


}

function getExtendedBlockTypes(blocktypes){
	//blocktypes.Type['Lighting 2'] = { icon: 'fa fa-lightbulb-o', title: '<Name>', value: 'ds' }
	return blocktypes;
} 

Somehow the // in front of blocktypes.Type got removed. I suppose I did this by mistake, but its working again.

Hey guys,

I am trying to build my own dashboard, but I can not get a real clue how to use the blocks und columns. I read everything, and checked these examples, but I do not get the point how to use blocks and how to use columns to e.g. get any block on the dashboard.

Even the default Spotify which is explained in the wiki by dashticz does not show up in my dashboard at all although I just did everything like it is explained.

Can anyone help? Demo and sah are installed on a PI.

BR,
S

@Sembo : Start with a default dashboard and be sure that’s working AND make backups before you change anything.
Dit you check the wiki already? Maybe you can also take a look at this file to see how blocks/colums are used https://github.com/Dashticz/dashticz_v2 ... %20ORIG.js

[Sembo]

Hey,

yes, the default one is working, but I do not understand if I need to build any more sections in the config and how it is structured. Do I first need to build a block and divide it into columns or whatever. Is there any easy-to-understand manual for using these parameters? IO have read the manual and tried to understand the configs from the samples here as well.

Just use the example with Spotify: It is described as follows:

On the next page, copy "Client ID" to your CONFIG.js like:

config['spot_clientid'] = '1112f16564cf4f4dsd4cbe8b52c58a44';
At the same page, enter your dashticz-url in the Redirect URIs field, for example:'

http://192.168.1.3:8080/
DONT FORGET TO PUSH THE SAVE BUTTON!!
In CONFIG.js, add the block like:

columns[2] = {}
columns[2]['blocks'] = ['spotify']
columns[2]['width'] = 5;

In my eyes, "Spotify" now is a already existing "function" or module which is already implemented? What are these columns doing and how to see them in relation to the other parameters?

And by the way: The only thing which is working if the "Mediaplayer" which comes with the default config from dashticz. Yes it works, but why is it positioned on the right by default? There is no parameter to do so. How important is the CSS file regarding this?

Just trying to get to know the structure and connections between all the files and parameters to get the big picture of it

Thanks a lot!

@Sembo : Can you tell which manual you have read.
Which version of Dashticz are you using and do you have PHP installed? If PHP installed correctly and with correct file permissions for config.js you can do a lot of settings via the settings page.
You have blocks which fit in colums which fits on a page.
The wiki https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Dashticz_V2_-_Positioning gives a good description how to positioning your dashboard.

The readthedocs documentation is most up-to-date:
https://dashticz-v2.readthedocs.io

You should use the beta-branch of Dashticz-v2 (the master branch is outdated)

[Sembo]

Hey,

yes PHP installed but I am still trying to get a clue what a block means and how to structure it in the file with columns.

Also have installed the beta as recommend.

I will have a look at the docs, thanks for those! Do you maybe have an easy example?

How can I interpret this?
columns[2] = {}
columns[2]['blocks'] = ['spotify']
columns[2]['width'] = 5;

What does the "2" mean? What does each line mean? That would help. And what do these three lines expect in the background? I also installed the Spotify plugin - there is no documentation that it has to be installed or not.

Thank you!!

For a basic dashboard start reading at:
https://dashticz-v2.readthedocs.io/en/b ... board.html

If your basic Dashboard is working, then more info on the Spotify module can be found here:
https://dashticz-v2.readthedocs.io/en/b ... otify.html

[Sembo]

thanks, will study it and come back to you guys

[Sembo]

Yeah, now i got it, the documentation is much more better than in the wiki I have read before! Thanks for that. I have now done some really nice things and also got the understanding for that. Nice!

Now I am trying to build my GUI as I would like to have it - buit the spotify does not appear anyway Any hints?
