Hello all,
Might be a suggestion or maybe its already possible but i noticed for certain tasks its much more easier to create a virtual dummy switch to do certain tasks.
For example i could create a blockly to switch at x time after sunset and x time before sunrise my camera to IR mode (on/off).
With the blockly it would be more difficult to do this at a certain time before or after Sunset/Sunrise but within a switch its very simple as then you use the timer.
I have done this now for various actions that also could be a Blockly but witch the switch first of all it was easier and second of all you also have some status report.
Now the key thing is that i dont want these switches to show up in the switches tab but would prefer to give them a custom tab.
Would this be (already) possible or could this be implemented ?
Thanks.
Jerome

Not exactly what your asking for, but you can hide them by adding a '$' in front of the name (if I remember correctly)

I believe you can make your own (custom) HTML-page and add your devices there. Not sure, because I dont have the need for it, so never tried.

Hi,
If you really want to offer a more customized user interface to your smart home you could have a look at things like dashticz. This are useful add ons to domoticz that allow you to create any user interface you want. I use domoticz only for system administration. For operation I use dashticz or - increasingly - voice commands via Alexa.

In:-
Setup -> More Options -> Plans -> Room Plans
There is a "$Hidden Devices" entry.
If you add your switches to that then they no longer show up in the Switch Tab.
