Desktop Mode in Chrome makes switches unusable

Post by koewacko »

Hi All,

im running the latest 2023 stable Domoticz version on my Nuc server.
I want to use a Samsung A8 tablet as wallmounted Domoticz control unit.

If i open Chrome (fully updated to latest (Android) versions) and load the Domoticz internal site, everything is oke as it loads the mobile site. Due to some long device names, it doesnt look that good, see picture named 'notnice' attached.
Easy solution is to set Chrome to Desktop Mode via the Chrome settings as it will load the Desktop website which looks alot better, see picture named 'nice' attached.

The problem with the Desktop Mode website on the tablet is that is does not respond when trying to turn on a device. There is no switch command in the Domoticz log and the light icon isnt turning on (using the light device as example). Switching back to Mobile mode makes it works directly.

I think that is it some sort of security issue so i double checked the Trusted Networks, loaded the Domoticz url with user:pass@url:port all while being on the same network as the server, laptop and tablet. Also tried it with Fully Kiosk browser (also not working in Desktop Mode) and Firefox (working but cant hide the address bar so not an option).


Anyone any idea?

I do not see this issue on android chrome in desktop nor mobile view. I can switch my switches on all modes.
Perhaps do an extra refresh?
Edit: perhaps try it with the browser in private mode.

Thanks for the fast reply!

Already tried ingocnito modus, doesnt change anything.

After trying alot of other things, i found out that clicking 1cm left of the icon does switch the device. It still isnt 100% of the time, but alot better than first.

Could there be a misalignment of the hit/clickboxes on Desktop Mode because on mobile and laptop, i click on the icon instead of next to it :)


Thanks!
