multiple switches pages

Post by manjh »

On the Domoticz server pages, the "switches" page gets cluttered quite quickly. I just got started migrating from my existing Nodo environment, and within a few days already have 32 switches defined.
It would be nice if I could put some structure in that page, for instance by creating multiple subpages, so I can order the icons in a logical manner.

I can understand your request. Seems handy some way.

However you say arrange logical; have you considered to use roomplans? And maybe hide some trigger switches by starting the name with a dollarsign ($).

Using the roomplan (dropdownlist upper right corner) to seperate floors, AV-Device and Monitoring/Networked Hardware.

I was thinking more along the lines of sorting as to device type.
Just thinking out. If I could create my own sub-pages, I would start with a few like this:
* inside lights
* outside lights
* sunshade and blinds
* various devices
* trigger switches
* etc

Note that it should be flexible enough to use as needed. You could easely sort the switches as to locations, this would come close to a floor- or roomplan.
User should define the tabs himself.

I support this idea of having more flexibility in building the UI. For instance I have a Thermostat that is displayed in Utility section and a Selector switch that is used to control several mode of the boiler that is displayed in Switches. These two widgets should be displayed in the same user area.

You can already do that if you use the Rooms feature.
You can add switches to Rooms and there is a selector on the top right of the screen where you can select the room.

But then again I would also like to see at least a selection per hardware device.
So you get an overview of all the Z-Wave switches, Hue, virtual etc.
