How to change the value of a device? Topic is solved

[TroisSix]

Hi huys,

I have some shutters (blinds) and I would like to change the value displayed cause it's in uppercase.
I tried the textOn/textOff but it's not working.
I tried the custom.js with function getStatus_MyBlind(block), and I can change the title (with block.title=), but how to change the value?

Thanks for your help

It was hardcoded as ON and OFF (translated according your language setting).

I've just changed in latest beta that the textOn/textOff parameters can be used. Can you test?

Ok I will search a way to upgrade from the master to the beta, and come back to you, thanks
Edit: is that enough to upgrade from master to beta: (with a copy of the config js and co) ?

Code: Select all

. <(wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dashticz/dashticz/beta/scripts/dashticz_install.sh )

and is there a way to hide a block? cause I discovered that I need some buttons for the js and change the colors of other blocks, but I don't want to display these ones.

To be able to recover from mistakes, make a copy of CONFIG.js, custom.css and custom.js.

Then, normally the following should be sufficient to switch to beta:

Code: Select all

git checkout beta

Update to latest version with:

Code: Select all

git pull

If git reports errors, then check this first:

Hi
I removed the master version in /home/pi/dev/dashticz, and installed the beta with :

Code: Select all

 git clone https://github.com/Dashticz/dashticz dashticz --branch beta
 cd dashticz/
 git pull
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install apache2 php php-xml php-curl libapache2-mod-php
 sudo systemctl restart apache2
 sudo ln -s /home/pi/dashticz/ /var/www/html
 chmod -R a+rX /home/pi/dashticz
 sudo a2enmod php7.3
 sudo systemctl restart apache2

My dashticz is not working anymore, it displays "Dashticz v3 is loading..." and I don't know where to search

Edit: I was trying to reach dashticz on the port 8082, it was simply the port 80... I continue my tests

@Lokonli
So I confirm the textOn/textOff is working fine with the latest beta: I can specify the text I want even for my blinds, great guys

Is there also a way to modify this state of another block within a function function getStatus_MyBlock(block)?
Dashticz.setBlock('AnotherBlind', {title: 'New title'}); is working to update the title of the blind, but what's the way to modify its data/value/state?

You could set the value parameter via the setBlock function.

Can you describe in more detail what you try to achieve?

I would like to do something like:
Dashticz.setBlock('AnotherBlind', {value: 'Opened 80%'})

[TroisSix]

I reply to myself, to change the value of a device, we have to change the value displayed in textOn/textOff, nothing else to do.

@Lokonli
Is it possible to change an image the same way?
I tried a

Code: Select all

Dashticz.setBlock('shutter', {imageOn: 'personal/shutter_mi_opened.png'});

but it's not working

[Lokonli]

It should work like that, but I did not test this for blinds.

Is your image in the folder 'image/personal/'?
Does it work for regular switches?

My images are in img/perso/ yes. I tried with and without the /img
Ok, I will test it with some regular switches

[TroisSix]

@Lokonli: Ok, I got it.
In fact, the same way we modify the textOn/textOff, we have to modify the imageOn/imageOff (and not only the image)

Code: Select all

Dashticz.setBlock('MyShutter', {textOff: 'partially closed ' + device['Value'] + '%', imageOff: 'perso/shutter_80.png'});

Could be useful to add it in the tutorial if it can helps the others.

PS: problem solved if you want to close this thread. Thanks Lokonli for your support
