You have to use var _USE_FAVORITES = false

The Wiki page for Dashticz v2.0 is now up-to-date.
You can find this page on http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Dashticz-v2

Well done job!!!

I use the following code for lightbulbs css because then i also can set the opacity. Maybe you can add to the wiki?
.fa.fa-lightbulb-o.on {
color: rgba(0,255,0,0.4)
}

I just see a lot // are in the wiki used, where it should not be used. Maybe it's better to remove them. I think it's confusing for a lot of people.

I see what you mean. Just cleaned up the // in the wiki.
For the CSS I will create a different section "User CSS Modifications". I trie to keep it clean and simple (just as Dashticz v2.0)....

What code do I have to add in custom css for making the icons a little bigger? thanks!

[robgeerts]

Back to the question: so it is not possible to enable only news column and make other columns (switches, date, clock, buttons, weather etc) work automatically like until now?

No, its either automatically without modifications or defining every device you want.
I can understand it's a lot of work the first time, finding the right idx's and stuff but its worth it
It will be much easier to switch columns and move devices

robgeerts: I made some merge requests today, if you find it useful, you can merge it.

I will check them out, thanks!
Edit: have merged your request (the favicons).
I would like own favicons instead of using the Domoticz-favicons but for now this is fine, thanks.

Hi Rob and others,

I follow this topic for a few weeks now and it's really great to see the progress in the development of the dashboard. Thanks for that, and I will make an donation for your tabblet
I made some modifications so the dashboard layout fitts on my 7"Raspii3 touchscreen. See the picture. One thing I can't change is the text that is shown at all "Rookmelders" on page 2. The status is "Normal" but it say's "Rook gedetecteerd", could you please change this in the next release ?
I am still changing the layout of the second screen but it will fit some day.......

You have to edit the custom.css and put the next part in there (I've updated the wiki also )

Code: Select all

.fa-lightbulb-o:before{
	font-size: 24px;
}

Thansk, really appreciate it!

One thing I can't change is the text that is shown at all "Rookmelders" on page 2. The status is "Normal" but it say's "Rook gedetecteerd", could you please change this in the next release ?

Could you send me the output of that device?

Hi Rob,

Amazing dashboard! I like how most of it works straight out of the box. One question, is it normal behavior that the buienradar image does not refresh on its own? Does it only refresh with a full page refresh? Tested this with chrome on android and Windows. Thanks

I just tested this in latest version and its working for me...
Could you test this?

Hi Rob,
I'm following this thread a couple of days now and I appreciate your work in this thread a lot.
For me it became more interesting when the camera's got your attention. Tried it after downloading the latest version of Dashticz but can only get 1 camera working at the same time. I made a screen specially for 4 cams but I see only the image of 1 cam (4 times).
Am I doing something wrong?

I didnt test with multiple cams yet... will do this soon!

If there is something I can help you with, please let me know.

Could you test latest version?

[Dropshot]

What will be the most convenient way to update this dashboard to the latest version?

[robgeerts]

Backup your config.js and custom.css en download the latest version.
Overwrite your existing files.

Or, if you use git on your computer, just use the pull-function

[Blueone]

I created a cgi script which can be used to change the brightness off the original raspberry touchscreen:

Sources I used:
https://code-maven.com/set-up-cgi-with-apache for setting up cgi in the raspberry

https://github.com/linusg/rpi-backlight, this api is being used simply install by following the instruction on the page

Attached the cgi script based on python (rename to cgi). Simple to use:

http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/screen_brightn ... ghtness=11

A valid brightness is between 11-255
a brightness of 0 turns the screen off

I would be great if this one can be added to the stand-by function. Also the text in stand-by is now grey, it would be nice if the text is real white. In the case the text can still be read with a low brightness in the evening from a distance on the couch or something

btw, it is a pyton script, don't change it with a windows text editor.

[robgeerts]

If you want the text to be white, add to custom.css:

Code: Select all

.standby .row {
	opacity:1 !important;
}

I cannot use cgi in my scripts.
I could make a setting that the dashboard has to call an url when going to standby.

I cannot use cgi in my scripts.
I could make a setting that the dashboard has to call an url when going to standby.

Isn't it possible to call this url http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/screen_brightn ... ghtness=11 when this script is added by the user? If not, I can also create a simple HTML which can be put in the webserver which run's the cgi.

You need to have a txt switch AND an ON/OFF switch. Make sure that the name you give the ON/OFF-switch is exactly the same as in the script. Also, a NILL error can mean that the temp file isn't created or writable. I believe user hansienl has writen something about that in this topic.
