Dashticz standby screen

[fargle]

Hello, I use Dashticz in standby mode to display a dimmed camera for night use. That works fine, and I also use the popup feature to display that camera on top of the dimmed display when triggered by some external event, that also works fine.

But what I can't work out is how to bring the full display out of standby mode other than by Mouse action, I would like to do this from an event trigger. Is it possible?

Hello,

How do you display the popup when triggered by an external event.
I'm interested.

Firstly, my Dashticz version is over 2 years old, here's the relevant section from the documentation for that time. If its no longer accurate, someone please correct.

How I use it: In Domoticz, IDX482 is the output from a motion sensor. When its triggered, the camera video pops up. This switch is also placed on the dashboard to allow for manual operation.

Code: Select all

//IDX482 = dummy switch 1505

blocks[482] = {
title: "",
hide_data: true,
icon: 'fas fa-asterisk',
width:2,
playsoundOn:'sounds/untitled.mp3',
addClass:'height50'
}

//gatecam popup shinobi camera5
blocks[482]['openpopupOn'] = {}
blocks[482]['openpopupOn']['url'] = 'http://<my camera URL>/jquery|fullscreen';
blocks[482]['openpopupOn']['framewidth']= 640; //specific width of the frame
blocks[482]['openpopupOn']['frameheight']= 480;
blocks[482]['openpopupOn']['auto_close'] = 30; //seconds

Here's a manually-triggered video popup example from another camera.

To answer my own query, this old post seems to be a way to go using xdotool.
