Dashicz - dashing.io for domoticz

Hi,

I created dashicz:
https://github.com/maartenbreddels/dashicz
This uses dashing.io to create tile based dashboards.
It doesn't come with batteries included, for instance you have to create a dashboard by editing an html file, and not all devices are supported. It's more a demo of what can be possible.
I think the most attractive feature is that it can have 1 widget that controls multiple devices. For instance I made a thermostate_room (see top left) widget that shows the temperature, the setpoint, can switch between the low and the high setpoint and shows if the room is being heated (linked to a switch that controls an actuactor on the manifold for the wall heating). A second widget (top right) shows the status for a list of devices. Other possibilities are graphs, text and switches.

Feedback and contributions are welcome, especially css/design gurus.
My idea is to have this working nicely on a tablet, possible for putting it on the wall.

cheers,

Maarten

Nice, that someone is doing another attempt at creating a nice skin for Domoticz. Can't have enough of these projects :)
It is not really my taste, but using modern technologies is always nice.

Some improvement can be made by making items smaller, so more items fit on the screen. The amount of items shown is now quite basic, not enough for my setup haha.
Also it is a pity that stuff like 'pip' and 'coffeescript' is needed to show this. I know you can't overcome that, but because i run Domoticz on my NAS it is not as easy to install this than on a Raspberry Pi. If i want to install these packages i have to mod my NAS (ipkg or so?) so i can install it.

So i will stay with the frontpage.html project :P But nevertheless, keep up the good work!

Yes, your raise two valid points. I'm thinking of commiting the 'compiled' js code and css so you simply do a checkout and edit the html and you're done. The layout should also change, Somethings like a grid of 8 times 6 orso.

Any updates?
I just saw these two pages: http://blog.smartthings.com/stories/hom ... dashboard/ and http://chrisnelson.ca/2014/11/21/home-a ... artthings/ which reminded me of your project.

I saw the first page, but didn't see the second, and didn't know the code was available. Maybe I can re-use some of his 'widgets', they look nice. I changed the gridsizes, so that more fits on the screen, and added a buienradar widget (which looks ugly due to buienradar). But I didn't put the code on github yet. I'm using it more than I use domoticz, because it is faster to load on my mobile phone, so I'll continue to use it I think.
If I get some time i'll put the new code on github together with the compiled js and css, so no other tools are needed besides a texteditor :).

I changed the gridsize, and added a few widgets (buienradar and dimmer), see example https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/ass ... 956893.png
I also included all.js and all.css in github, so 'installing' is as easy as:

Code: Select all

cd domoticz/www
git clone https://github.com/maartenbreddels/dashicz --recursive
cd dashicz
cp example.html index.html
And then opening http://localhost:8080/dashicz/index.html
You can also read that at https://github.com/maartenbreddels/dashicz

Any updates? Hopefully this project isn't dead, I really like the tile design!

Thanks, it is not dead, but I didn't update anything yet. I still plan to use this for my house, so it may have small updates over the coming years (it's a multiyear project I think).
