Daniel,

I found problem. 

At LM cloud no any errors, just upload messages. 

Problem - I always click Save button at LM cloud page, also I see that SYNC logo also changed, and I decided SAVE Button = Sync configuration.

Now I pressed after Save also SYNC button when I read your PM message, and all works. 

So may be at cloud LM app part add message to remind also press SYNC button? It is confusing, because when I press SAVE, button, SYNC also show time changes and I assume sync also is done.. 

And it looks when I press SAVE, all changes saved but without new pictures and may be some other visu elements.. 

But good I found where problem was

Hi Daniel,

thank you, you found config I did not finished as needed. I added passwords and user sessions expiration days set to 365.

Can we add info about it to controller page, as example Security Status OK/NOT OK if passwords not set? Info place could be at the left of CPU/IO info in the lowest part of screen.

I started to create custom widgets, some recommendation/improvements:
1. In custom widget settings "title" I think should be changed to "Custom widget name". "title" will be seen again when custom widget will be added to visualization. Also in settings can be added custom widget export.
2. During custom widget creation I tried to use arrows in the lower part of the screen to move visualization objects. They not working (I use tile view). And would be good to add arrows to move objects to the left and to the right. When selected 2 or more objects, also could be good to have all 4 arrows (up, down, left, right) for moving all selected objects, not just for aligning them.
3. Should be reserved place for custom widget title, or just remind about it. I mean when I selected 3x1 tile size for custom widget, create it, and later added to visualization, when I write title and select icon, it was behind widget objects and not seen. 
4. In tile view "Show close button" I think not needed.. 

Pictures in attach, hope will be clear what I mentioned. 

And could be good if we can add possibility to making objects flashing - text, background or border when status of object = 1, On or true. This I need to use for focus attention to alarm objects.. 

Can you please write how I can I do flashing text, background or border with CSS if it is possible? 

And lastly would be good if we can change widgets background pictures by group values. Good for alarm, any statement etc.. Also such possibility can be added to "Image" widget - attach in it some pictures and create possibility change them.

BR, Alex

[Daniel]

The arrows are for stacking objects one above another, something what wasn't easily possible before. Same as in Powerpoint. You can use keyboard arrows to move objects. TIP, Try doing it with SHIFT.

What about individual widget background image?

[AlexLV]

Hi Novodk,

You mean custom widget created by yourself? Background image you can add when your custom widget will be added to visualization. Let's try to create one by yourself, than add it to visu. And in the settings - Appearance you can add background image.

Hi,

is possible for "value select" widget make windows with selection objects wider? I use it for tile view.

Hi Novodk,

I don't think you can, I know you can set one in global appearance settings, but I'm asking for individual background image for widgets.

Can I get some clarification on custom javascript.
Edgars have an example to trigger a visualization page change on ga change.
I used it on the old visu, but can't get it working on the new one, I have tried with the code both places.

[admin]

@AlexLV, value select window is scaled automatically based on the value length. You can set a fixed width via CSS but it will affect all controls that use pop-up windows:

Code:

.widget-control-dialog {
  width: 320px;
}

---

@Novodk, can you explain your use case with background images? There's an "Apply background/border to Plan view widgets" option in Global appearance settings that might do what you need.

Old Custom JavaScript examples won't work. New Custom JS documentation is not ready yet and some parts might still change. Use this to show a specific plan when an object value is true:

Code:

localbus.listen('object', '0/0/1', (value) => {
  if (value) {
    Visu.showPlan(123)
  }
})

[Novodk]

Thanks for the script.
Regarding custom widget background image, we need a different background image on all our widgets, now we are adding an image to the widget and "stretch" it to make it fit, it would be easier if we had the same option as editing a plan or layout

[Daniel]

You can add background while adding the widget on to plan/tile.

Hello,
I’ve started working with the new visualization and maybe I’m missing something, but I couldn’t find how to do the following. If these options already exist, please let me know. If not, they could also be useful improvements:

1. Download and modify native icons
   Is there a way to download the native icons for editing? That would help to keep the same style when creating new icons. Ideally, the modified icons would still support the built-in options such as color, background, etc.
   
2. Partial Export / Import
   Is it possible to export and import widgets, layouts, etc., so they can be reused as templates in other projects?
   
3. Selective replacement of group addresses
   The “replace group addresses” option in custom widgets is very useful, but is there a way to select which addresses to replace? Some may be the same across all widgets and could be replaced manually, while others don’t follow the same offset logic.
   
4. Tile / Plan view selection
   Is there an option to choose the visualization type (Tile or Plan) depending on the device? For example, Tile view on PC and Plan view on mobile. Also, if only one type of visualization is available, could it automatically open without showing an error?
   

Thanks in advance for your help.

[admin]

1. Default icons are from https://fontawesome.com/. We can add some more icons from the library if you tell us which. Custom icons are placed differently so color cannot be changed.

2. This will be added later.

3. We can add checkboxes to the replace group addresses form but it will only work when replacing addresses in the custom widget itself. When placing a custom widget group addresses can be replaced dynamically but this can only apply to all addresses.

4. Type is selected automatically based on screen width (configurable). Plan view is meant for large screens (PC and tablet), Tile view is meant for smaller mobile devices. Can you provide details on how to reproduce this error when a certain type is not available?

[Juande]

1. I missed a round dot, as well as some more lighting icons, such as spotlights and LED strips, another for AUTO, and some more for HVAC. I'll make a list and send it to you in case you think it's worth uploading. 

2. OK 

3. I didn't quite understand the limitation you mentioned, but the idea is to make it as flexible as possible. 

4. I understand the approach, but current mobile phones have very good resolution, and with a little zoom, you can perfectly control a plan, especially when there are many controls on the same plan, it's much more convenient. The tile option is very useful when there are few controls and is practical and aesthetically pleasing, even on a PC. That's why it would be convenient to be able to choose the type of visualization you want to see, so you wouldn't have to create both visualizations. I've attached the message that appears on the PC when there's no plan and the one that appears on the phone when there's no tile. 

5.- It would be like also having the option to create a shortcut to a specific plan or tile, both on the phone and on the PC.


Thank you very much for your quick response.

Hi,
I know export - import function will be added later but can we import old graphic page exports to new visu system also ? Is there a plan ?

[Daniel]

NO

[AlexLV]

Hi, 

Is possible to do some how, when opens menu, not to see it all in whole, but with sub-menu possible? I mean to see main selection points, and when I press lighting, opens sub menu with room lighting control options (parent objects?)
Alex

Hi, regarding icons:

1. Default icons are from https://fontawesome.com/. We can add some more icons from the library if you tell us which. Custom icons are placed differently so color cannot be changed. 

Is possible to add these group of icons (the same as already loaded) but with animation - at fontawesome.com --> show animations. Would be good to have icons with Beat and/or Beat-Fade animation types for object's alarming. 

Or may be possible to add such animation type locally for selected icons? It will be super. 

Another question - can I somehow add flashing or fading to icons using CSS - I mean .flash class with new testing visualization type? 

BR, 

Alex

I kind of understand the reasoning behind, and why it is done like this - but I would really, really appreciate if I could choose in settings what the "tile view width" would be - and that it would scale depending on that. I totally understand why that would not work for everyone, but that would have been awesome for me! 

Second request, I'm coming from Gira Homeserver. There you can have either a number or a icon with different color (depending on value on an object) on the "plan links":

   

That would have been very handy with tiles as well ?

[Daniel]

What is the use case for your second request?

[stianj]

A couple examples; if I have a plan for alarms/statuses, it can show green dot if there is no alarm, and red if there are. Or if I have a plan for doors/windows, it can show the number of open doors/windows, and then I can click on the tile to see which windows/doors are open...

Or I can have a plan for my EV, and the icon can show if it's charging or not. Same with heat pump, can show if running or not... Many different use cases. For me at least...
