Hi,
Great feature.
I'm trying to setup the switch for my groups
The dial is showing as a dial needle and not as a on/off button
Code: Select all
blocks['s2'] = {
title: 'Woonkamer',
type: 'dial',
color: '#57c4d6',
width: 3
};
And if a add " idx: 2" then no dial appears

Is the "Switch Type" set to "On/Off" in Domoticz?

As far as i can see it is set as on/off
When i press the button in the "Groups" section it works
If i press the buton in "Setting/devices" the lights doesn't switch on/off
(this is only with the Machinon theme, other themes work)
But the dial won't work, despite the theme selection

I have just enabled Machinon theme in my Domoticz, and tested dials in Dashticz and have no issues. Which is what I would expect, as Machinon is a CSS theme for Domoticz and would not interfere with the Dashticz dial.
If you click the 3 dots above your switch in Domoticz, you can see what the "Switch Type" is. To use the Dial "Switch", it must be set to "On/Off" in Domoticz.

Correct. The switches are working, but not the groups

I don't use groups, so i can't comment. I can't even see it in Domoticz. I can see you have Groups in your screenshot, but I don't. Where do you add them?

I can add groups or scenes in that section.
To my knowledge this section is standard available and added manually

I have to admit, I have the same issue.
The nice on off buttons don’t appear.
I’ve checked, they’ve been set to on/off

Ok, so I have found how to "Add Group" .. it was on the Scenes tab, which was disabled on my Domoticz. I don't use Scenes and I definitely don't use Groups. I haven't got a clue how they work.
Do any of you have a device with Switch Type "On/Off" that is not in a group, that you can check for me?
I am guessing that the Group functionality allows you to turn on and off all switches at the same time. If that is true, then I can say now that the dial button does not do that. It targets the device directly.

great.
The 4th switch is working. See the picture in my previous post
In the group there are several switches which you can turn on/off with 1 button.
In Setting/devices the group has een idx number and is clickable on/off
only not responding the idx number with the dials

OK, glad the dial button is working for a single device.
I have just added a group and 2 on/off switches to it. That gives me something to play with. I can now see there is little difference between switching a device on/off and switching a group on/off. It will be easy enough to accomodate this.
Code: Select all
/json.htm?type=command¶m=switchlight&idx=99&switchcmd=On
/json.htm?type=command¶m=switchscene&idx=&switchcmd=On

Is there actually a setting in the code I have to enter for normal switch? Or only the on/off setting in domoticz will be sufficient?

Ok, if you pull the latest beta - updated just now, and give it a try with groups. It seems to work fine for me, with 1 group and 2 on/off switches.
It uses the same "Idx" naming as the standard Dashticz switch, i.e. the idx is a string prefixed by "s". See below.
Code: Select all
blocks['group_button'] = {
idx: 's1',
title: 'Group',
type: 'dial',
color: '#57c4d6',
width: 2
}

When using this:
Code: Select all
blocks['plafond'] = {
idx: 's2',
title: 'Plafond',
type: 'dial',
color: '#57c4d6',
width: 2
}
There is no button/dail.
When using this:
Code: Select all
blocks['plafond'] = {
idx: 285,
title: 'Plafond',
type: 'dial',
color: '#57c4d6',
width: 2
}
there is a button/dail

's2' should have been 's8'
There is a button now, but it still doesn't work

Hi clinkadink
This is working.
The only point is that the text is too small on a tablet to read at a block width of 3
I've a 8" tablet, so the space is to not much
Is there a possibility to have the text under the dial ?
Or in a circle around the icon ?

So it works for madpatrick but not for EdwinK.
@EdwinK - please check your config. Dial button for Groups works for me and madpatrick.
@madpatrick - I will have a look and see if anything can be done about the text under the dial.

Great.
I have some room under the dials if possible

As a workaround for now, you can set a blank title in the block, and perhaps add a title block below. Just an idea?
