Ability to group some devices with a dedicated view

Post by darrepac »

Hello,

Use case:
I create a new material that is creating : 2 temperature devices, 3 On/off devices and 1 measure device.
So I have all those 6 devices on 3 different tabs.
But it would be nice to be able to see all those 6 devices in 1 view.

Domoticz could add a "custom view" tab where you can create several custom view: custom view 1, custom view 2 etc. On each view, you can see all the devices you want from different types, in 1 page.
It is like the current favorite/home tab (=capable of mixing devices of different types) but with more possibilities.

my 2 cents :)

You mean like using a floorplan? :-)
Rearranging devices over custom tabs is a long known wish but difficult to implement due to the current architecture of Domoticz.

It's by design

But you can create custom template pages which will show up in your top navigation bar.
You are free to design it to your liking, a example is provided (see the templates folder)
Quality outlives Quantity!

It would perhaps be nice if the devices of rooms can be displayed in room tabs. So each room gets its own tab next to the current existing ones.
You can switch off the default tabs from settings menu.
It would perhaps needs an extra setting to switch on/off room tabs (like switching on foorplan).
Would this be a major update in web architecture? The functionality to create rooms and add devices to rooms is already there.
We only would need functionality to display device widgets (could be combination of lights/switches/sensors/utility/weather etc) in one room tab.
