    Wowww Great job @swttt

    What it did so far (tested on Windows 10 with google chrome):

    Uninstall old version (not cloud) = OK
    Install new version from github = OK
    added Bearer token =OK
    Tested both go to buttons in homey settings =OK

    In HomeyDash settings:

    Created multiple pages = OK
    Drag and drop pages  = OK
    Delete page = OK
    Add widgets = OK (all three: lights, socket and dim lights)
    • Is the first option Device needed  or do you plan to have more options in the future? If so ignore this remark ;-)
    • What would really makes it an even more killing app, if you could multi select devices (If this is possible)

    Drag and drop widgets = OK
    Delete widget = OK
    Background image = OK (for me it's showing full page 1280x800)
    Dim lights dimming = OK

    • What I'm missing in the dim light device is an on/off switch you can change the slider to most left of course but often I don't want to change to dim level but would like to have the option to on/off the light

    This is really store ready stuff you nailed it!
  • Had some time to test the v5. First off all: awesome app!!! Thanks a lot! 
    Two (I hope little) things: 
    As Menno mentioned a onoff solution for the dim capabilities would be very nice. Maybe when you tip the icon of the dim-widget... 
    Second thing is maybe a little bug. I can slide the dimming but nothing happens.  I have to tap the slider on the dim-value I want to have. 
    Tried it with a s7 edge and my galaxy tab 10.1 
  • -------    Extra info -------
    tested on Windows surface RT with IE11 (not sure if you want to support this)

    Background is not visible anymore also not after changing it in homey (not sure if it was working with earlier cloud version but I believe it did)
    Devices not refreshing bitflips in IE (but dimmer is refreshing and also light is refreshing would be great if it would also work for better logic bitflips)

    Just a thought:

    Make the homeyDASH icon animated with moving led light
    Make the homeyDASH icon clickable and let it do a page refresh (for IE users like me)

    @swttt and @dondanny

    Slider is working for me from Chrome and Edge (Windows 10) but not from IE11 (surface RT)
    In chrome and Edge it creates an other problem when I slide my lights lower my menu is also hiding ;-)
    In Edge device refresh for bitflips are working also
    Background image is working in Edge
    Also having an other startpage is working for Edge and Chrome but not for IE11 (on surface)



  • Changes from dash to homey syncs , changes from homey to dash needs a page refresh to change.

    Depends on how good you are with soldering/wiring <span>:tongue:</span>
    You could open up the case of your tablet, find the usb port and solder a new wire to it, drill a hole in the back and voila!
    But that is then permanently mounted :smile:


    I'm trying to power it, not kill it! :smiley:
  • Thinking to use someting like this with a Ipad:

    Not sure if it give enough power to charge the ipad. But you wont see much cable.

    Output: 1A

    Zal wel lukken denk ik zolang je hem instelt dat het scherm niet altijd aan blijft staan.
    Why did I do that in Dutch?  :o

    1A should be OK to slowly charge it if you don't keep the screen on all the time.
  • @spoelly Didn't noticed it myself yet. Isn't it because of hiding the sidebar maybe? Or just a to big resolution?

    @dondanny Issues with the slider are known, and pretty late added yesterday. On my laptop it just works, but had to use the mouseup command to set the dim level. I already expected issues with this on tablets. 

    @djesko
    Adding a new device might need a page refresh for the sockets to pick it up, had the same issue yesterday. After 1 reload it should work.

    @menno thanks for testing so much :smile: The bitflip devices should sync as well, but might be the same issue as a above. Will look into it, but a page refresh (or force refresh) should solve the issue.

    Nope, I see it change immediately without a refresh. But perhaps that depends on the browser? 
  • Sorry to say but switch in homey app does not reflect dash.. 

    After refreshing it OK 


  • @swttt

    Did some testing on the refresh button. when I change the code in the scripts file to:
    <a href="javascript:location.reload();"><img style="padding:5px" src="images/logo.png"></a>

    It's working on all my browsers not sure if you want to add it in a future release, I hope so because I don't have much browsers to choose from on the windows surface tablet.
    Also doing a fresh in full screen without keyboard is not handy

    If you rather don't change it that's totally fine offcourse ;-)
  • @swttt i have this on my MacBook pro with retina display. On the tablet it works fine. Do not have this issue with browsing to Homey. Before the background update of homeydash it was ok..
  • @swttt did some further testing.
    here some feedback

    - Deleting a widget card, does not go fine. It always deletes the last card
    - Dim card should have a on/of switch also.
    - Dim cards on te left of the screen are calling the side menu, not working fine.
    - In the add widget menu i think its better to use cards always in selections and lose the pulldown menu/bullet selection. Makes it more easier to use in the same way. Good for dikke vingers ;)

    @spoelly are you using the latest cloud version? you can check at homey --> settings --> apps

    HomeyDash
    v0.0.5 Bas Jansen Geïnstalleerd via Developer Tools

    Ah see what you mean sorry! for the dikke vingers why not do the configuration on a pc much eassier
  • @menno you have point there. But i think it is a simpler way to use one sort of ui selector.
  • MennoMenno Member
    edited January 2017
    @spoelly that would be a lot off cards ;-) (and this is just the beginning hehehe)



    Multi select for devices would be great and indeed the dropdown for capability can be replaced by cards or select button
  • @swttt Will there be an option in the future to add the device cards of the smart presence app to Homeydash? In that way we can directly see anywhere in the world who is home.

    @menno good point  :D so you have your mancave in the "gang"  ;)

    @swttt : I have 3 Hue bulbs controlled by Philips motion sensor. I have select the bulbs as on/off because I don't need the dim function.
    The sensor automatically dims the lamp for 30 seconds before it's completely switched to off. So the dimmed setting is the last knows setting. If I switch the bulb to on now it is still dimmed. Is it possible to have an option to switch it on with full brightness?

    @Jesper you can fake it for now with bitflip (better logic)

    Flow would be: (for being at home you also have to make a flow for gone)



    Do you know how to use better logic for this?


  • @Jesper working! nice idea btw
  • Another little milestone for Homey (and in this case a tribute to homeydash) :) 
    (soon a QI charger will be behind it for charging and minimum cable effect mostly) 


    How are you planning to get the power over there to power the QI charger? I'm looking into wall mounted tablets but have yet to figure out a way to power the tablet without having to ruin my entire wall. I assume you are drilling a (big?) hole for the QI charger and you are pull the wires from the switches below there to power it?
  • What did you use, beacuse it looks GREAT!!!!!!
    The cheapest case I could find with one of those flaps on the screen - which i cut off :) 
    Behind it is actually an electrical socket 'hole' so i drilled 2 holes in the case and screwed it into the screwholes of the socket... and presto it seems pretty strong :>

    (i mean the 'inbouwdoos' but no idea what that is in english ... build-in-box.. :))
    @Phuturist      smart guy, die eric van putten.        mooi hoor :p

    Lucky him, here there are no sockets on eye level ...  :o
  • Nice app.
    I'm now testing it on an iphone and thought it could be very useful to make the buttons square and smaller. This way you can fit eight, rather than four, buttons on a page without the need of scrolling. 
    Probably lesser needed for using on a tablet, so perhaps it could be an option to choose from on the settings page.
  • @Oskar I believe this app is created for tablets not phones for phones you can use the homey app.
    I think the buttons have to be big because you also have to be able to use dimmers. (this can be managed with different approaches ofcourse but that;s up to swttt)
  • @Menno I figured out how the bitflips work. For now it's I nice workaround. However, now you could accidentally (or maybe intentionally if you do not want your GF to see that you are home or away ;)) switch if on or off and then the presence is not correct anymore. So just having status cards in HomeyDash would be better (also for other apps).

    I also noticed you are not using the Smart Presence app. Does the regular presence detection from Homey works good enough for you?

    HomeyDash is already a great app and it's just version v.0.0.4. I think the Homey's sold in the retail should have this app pre-installed on their Homey's (with a small manual in the box). An app like this could really improve the "Homey experience" for new customers @Stefan @Emile. @Annemarie I would already like to nominate HomeyDash for the app of the year 2017  :).

    BTW: I also have HomeyDash added to the app menu on my LG TV to be able top control my lighting with the Magic Remote  B)

    @Jesper Most of the time the buildin app is working for me (on eiphone not my windows phone) I'm waiting for my DOT with this device you can arrange things much better and with much more accuracy.

    It looks like the dot will be supporting homey and homey dot.
    I believe the owner/developer is also on the athom forum 

    Youtube movie: dot - The Physical Push Notification

    On the site they say: Ships Early 2017
