It still says 0.0.5 in the appstore..? So wich version has been aproved exactly?
You should be able to click on "Go to Beta" or something similair
Thanks but I have that allready as you can see here: Right?
Unfortunately I can't hook the tablet to a socket and letting wifi on always drains the battery to much.
Depending on what kind of tablet you might be able to achieve this using a 3rd party app.
The problem with opening a wifi connection every X minutes, is that the websockets get disconnected and your devices won't update.
My compliments! Really great work.
I just installed the new beta and added buienradar and my carport video cam. Just amazing
Please keep up this great work, looking forward to the next update.
You could contact me on Slack for that.
I never wrote a good how to (and will do soon for a new(er) version), but it ain't that hard
Every widget has it's own html file and it's own service. The service connects to your TV Guide api (no other way, so you need to enable that in your app) and the html displays the data. Then the only thing that needs to be done is the widget wizard
Resizing for the On/Off is important for the text to be readable, if the icon should resize as well it takes more space.
On the button the text is below the icon.
For on/off the whole card should be clickable tho...
My camera is a Dahua DH-SD22204T-GN-W where this string does the job: http://admin:pw***@192.168.1.38/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?1
This works fine in Chrome, but unfortunately not on android (chrome). Not on my phone nor on tablet. I tried to end the string with the &t=10 parameter, but that does not work either..
Suggestions are welcome
and it is working when switching the device directly in the homey UI? Because it sounds like you didn't setup the flows correctly..
Well, the easiest way is to create a flow for turning the lights on and another one for off. Not sure what app you used for the virtual device, but i still use better logic for that. So if device is turned on -> switch lights on and another flow for the off part. Might not be the best solution tho, for example in 1.3.0 you maybe could use the ELSE part in the flows. IF device state changed -> one of the lights is on -> turn all off ELSE turn all on
Sorry i cant help you further
On is working fine. Off isn't. I mean "off" clicking on the same button in Dash.. >> I do not know your setup but I think this button can only be used for one action, so yeah you need to have seperate buttons. What I personally did that I created e.g. two BL booleans for lights on and lights off and grouped my individual lights in that flow. So I can link all sorts of triggers to that boolean, so either by a button in HomeyDash, on my phone, by speech, by IFTTT etc. And if I want to change something in my lights I only need to do it in one place. Just my 2 cts.
If this is indeed the way it works, is there anyway to configure the refresh rate so connections can close before opening new ones.
It's kinda hard indeed to display video at all in html5. There are 2 options, de HTML5 Video api (mp4 etc. but different per browser) or the other one (not sure how i named it). The last one just refreshes the image link it expects every 1 (or i might even have set it to 2) second. For now i didn't added an option to chose refresh rates or FPS, since this is something you would want to store per device and not in global settings.
