Dashticz Dial - Features, Fixes & Updates

[madpatrick]

Hi Lokonli,

I lost 2 dials after the latest beta.

Code: Select all

blocks['gr_tuin'] 		= {idx: 's1',type: 'dial', color: '#ffff00', width: 3, last_update: false, title: ' '}
blocks['gr_kamer'] 		= {idx: 's2',type: 'dial', color: '#ffff00', width: 3, last_update: false, title: ' '}
blocks['ventilatie'] 		= {idx: 112, type: 'dial', color: '#ffffff', width: 3, last_update: false, title: ' '}
blocks['dimmer_hal']	 	= {idx: 154, type: 'dial', color: '#ffff00', width: 3, last_update: false, title: ' ', shownumbers: true, showring: true, showunit: true}

The group dials idx:'s1' and idx:'s2' are not visible anymore after your last update

s1 and s2 are scenes/groups, and indeed that will not work at the moment.
I even was not aware it was working for scenes/groups.

I'll fix it in the next beta.

For your information the post where it was “fixed”
viewtopic.php?f=67&t=32749&start=40#p252392

I hope it can be restored

Restored in latest beta. Can you test?

The group dials are working
Great job !

Hi,

I installed Dashticz successfully, however for some reason I can't set the min/max values on my thermostat-setpoint. Is it possible on this specific device or did I miss something ? Here is the code:

Code: Select all

blocks['tsalon_manu'] = {
        idx: 24,
        title: 'Salon_MANU',
        type: 'dial',
        width: 6,
        min: 15,
        max: 25,
        setpoint: 20,  // this value will be used to control the color of the outer ring, e.g. < 15 is blue, >= 15 is orange
        shownumbers: true,  // display the numbers on the dial (default is false)
        showring: true, // display outer ring color all the time (default is false, will only display when hover over)
        showunit: true // display unit for the dial value (default is false)
}

The min and max remain default values...

Thanks a lot for your support!

Try latest beta.

Thanks, that works. However now when I click on the dial to change the setpoint value it does not update anymore in Dashticz (it does in domoticz). I need to refresh the page to see the updated value on the dial... Did I miss something?

Thanks!

I tried several device types, but I can't reproduce the problem.

I assume you have issues with device 24, with block 'tsalon_manu' as defined above.

Can you post the domoticz JSON output of the device:

Code: Select all

http://domoticz ip:port/json.htm?type=devices&rid=24

Can you post the following settings from your CONFIG.js (if defined):

Code: Select all

config['domoticz_refresh'] 
config['use_favorites'] 
config['enable_websocket']

only 'domoticz_refresh' is in my config.js, it reads:

Code: Select all

config['domoticz_refresh'] = '5';

regarding my output json (i just switched idx to test with another setpoint, it is now idx 70 but the issue is the same):

I start dashticz with 21.1°C set for idx 70. The json shows it properly. Then I switch to 22°C, I refresh the json request, and it shows:

Hi,
I have created a P1 Smart Meter with the following block.

Code: Select all

blocks['p1'] = {
  idx: 37,
  title: 'P1 Meter',
  type: 'dial',
  width: 4,
  min: -15,
  max: 20,
  showring: true,
  showunit: true,
  shownumbers: true,
  last_update: false
}

It all looks very nice, but the meter is flashing 2-3 times /sec. How can I stop this flashing?

[McMelloW]

This is my device for 3 of the motherboard sensors of a RPi.

RPi-Sensors.png (43.86 KiB) Viewed 1999 times

This a combined dial of 3 devices, Internal temperatur, CPU usage and HDD usage. See this blocks

Code: Select all

blocks['RPi'] = {
    type: 'dial',
    title: 'Rpi Sensors',
    values: [
         {
          value: 'Temp',
          idx: 5,
          unit: 'C'
         },
         {
          value: 'CPU_Usage',
          idx: 4,
          unit: '%'
         },
         {
          value: 'HDD/',
          idx: 9,
          unit: '%'
         }?
    ]
}

The devices CPU_Usage and HDD / only shows a 0. What is wrong in my code?

I guess device 4 and 9 have subtypes 'Percentage'. You have to use:

Code: Select all

 value: 'Data' ,
 

because Data is the key name of the data field you want to use. You can find all key names of a device with:

Code: Select all

http://<domoticz ip:port/json.htm?type=devices&rid=4

Thanks very much, I did not realize to look in Domoticz for the key names.
Changing the value to 'Data' display now NaN for the devices 4 and 9. What does this mean?

[Lokonli]

Not a Number...
I'll check.

[McMelloW]

I'll check.

I guess it is a text string, because of the % sign. This what it shows in the browser

Code: Select all

"Data" : "11.37%",

Thanks very much. It works OK now.

The dials flash when the value is updated. Currently this is hardcoded in creative.css.

I'll make a block parameter for it.

The dial function works great i only have 1 issue.
On the thermostat dial i can not change the icon, there is a calendar icon now and i like to change this.

How can i get this to work, on the other dials i can change the icons as stated in the wiki.

I also would like to add an third value to my thermostat dial.
I also can't seem to change the needle color for all devices, i have to do it per device. Is this how it works?

The following should work (copied from the documentation):

blocks['mytherm'] = {
        type: 'dial',
        min: 5,
        max: 30,
        values : [
                {
                        value: 'Temp',
                        idx: 27
                },
                {
                        value: 'Barometer',
                        idx: 659,
                        icon: 'fas fa-cloud',
                        unit: 'hPa'
                },
                {
                        value: 'SetPoint',
                        idx: 25,
                        isSetpoint: true,
                        icon: 'fas fa-calendar-alt',
                        unit: 'C'
                },
        ]
}

                        unit: 'C'
                },
        ]
}

Tnks, it almost works.
The setpoint is not working anymore.
I use different colours for temps above and below the setpoint. If i use the standard thermostat code it works but if i use your code this function doesn't work.
so the first code the setpoint with different coloured rings works but the second code it doesn't.

any comments on that?

Maybe you missed my request, or maybe it's not possible:

I've a request about the dimmer dials. Now you have to control them by dragging the dial, would it be possible to add the option to just click on the position to set the dimmer? (e.g. click on top of outer ring to set 50%)

this would be really nice because i have a older type of touchscreen and i have to be very precise to change the dial. With a mouse it is easy but not with a touch screen.
