Open beta testing

[Novodk]

New version of the app for testing was added to the first post:
- new Light widget  - a combo widget where you can chose what type of light is controlled, scale, scale + CT, scale + RGB,  scale + RGBW, scale + CT + RGB, scale + CT + RGBW
- Option to go to home screen( screen saver options)
- Additional icons/values can be loaded from LM object custom values 
- bug fixes
As some users started using Visu on projects, we will keep older version just in case.

The new light widget is just perfect.
I'm trying to make my own widget, but it's not as easy as it was in the old mosaic, or maybe I just don't know how to!
For example I want to use the toggle to toggle between 2 1-bit objects but send a fixed "1" every time, and have a separate status object.

Is this possible?

Can you explain what is controlled this way?

[Novodk]

Yes ofc, its a gate opener integrated via modbus

3 objects:
1-Open - boolean, send "1" if the status is open(0) nothing happense, else it opens and when it is opened al the way, this object goes back to 0
2-Close - boolean, send "1" if the status is closed(1) nothing happens, else it closes and when it is closed this object goes back to 0
3-Status - boolean, 1=closed 0=open

So 1-Open and 2-Close is only in "1" when they are moving

Hope this makes sense

Switch widget has an option to send fixed 1 or 0. How are you controlling this gate opener in Mosaic?

[Novodk]

a little bit clunky, but it works.
Custom widget with 2 buttons and a text object as the status object. Both buttons sends fixed values (1)
But I was hoping to make it easier/smaller with the use of the toggle function, but as I can see now the toggle function is also present in mosaic, maybe I was just hoping for more customization with the new visualization.

Hello

In the new version of VISU would it be possible to have the possibility of visually creating schedules by visually choosing what to include and then having the possibility of enabling them in the schedulers and defining the intervention times?

Thank you very much

New Visu version in the first post added for testing.
New:
- Movement widget - widget to control blinds/windows. It follows standard KNX way with movement and stop object. Optionally the direction and movent status object can be used. The buttons will highlight current operation.
- In tile view now status object can be displayed on the opposite side of tile title. This applies to dimmer, movement, slider and spinner widgets.

Hi, I want to insert the time and date information object into the pages. How can I do this?

[Daniel]

Select Time and Date widget and change display mode to Value

Select Time and Date widget and change display mode to Value

The built-in time and date widget isn't what I want: when clicked, it opens a box to configure the time or date. I want it to be read-only, like a simple status display, not something the user can actually modify.

For example, in the old visu, I can insert a read-only 3-byte time object. Is there a way to do this in the new viewer?

I have a script that outputs the time and date in Spanish (e.g., martes, 21 de mayo de 2024 ). But the widget only displays the day in English. Can this be customized?

[Daniel]

The read-only mode indeed is missing in date and time widget, we will add it.
In your case its best to convert it to a string and write to 250 string object and use input widget with read-only mode

Excellent solution! Thank you!

I've created a custom widget. I've positioned the icon on the screen and wanted it to open in a specific position. Is this possible?

[admin]

Static position option for widget popover elements will be added in the next version.

Hello, When placing text over a button, for example, using a button with a link to a page, if we position the text over the button, it becomes unclickable. It seems like the button's surface is overridden by the text above it.

Is there a way to fix this without having to create an image with the text for each button?

[admin]

You can use "Icon and value" display mode and set value location to "Inside". This way you don't need an extra text element.

I've tried it, and in some cases it might work, but in others it's positioned in a specific place, and I don't see a way to adapt it any other way. For others, it would be a solution if I could add a small indentation separating it at least 2-3 spaces from the border. Is this possible?

[admin]

Post an image of what you want to achieve.

[davidchispas]

Post an image of what you want to achieve.

The bottom button was created by adding text above the button, like an extra layer.
The top button uses the button's own text, but I need to add some spaces at the beginning of the text.
I'd like to take this opportunity to mention the Light Button Widget for Dimming. I can't get the name to appear. Is there a problem?

   

[admin]

In the next version left/right offset will be added to the value so it does not stick to the edge of the containing element.

Can you clarify this?
