Feature requests

[admin]

Please post your feature requests here. Be as detailed as possible and provide screenshots/mock-ups where applicable.

List of missing features that will be added later (in no particular order):

• Partial import/export
  
• PIN code protection for widgets
  
• More widgets
  
• Trends integration
  
• Alert integration
  
• User-defined scenes
  
• LM Cloud integration
  
• Tile view widget grouping by function (similar to Mosaic)
  

[Rune]

The most important in my opinion and some of they are mentioned in your to do list:

• Complete widget for lights (on/off, value and value status)
  
• Complete widget for tunable white lights (on/off, value, kelvin, value status and kelvin status)
  
• Complete widget for RGB/RGBW (on/off, value, color, value status and color status)
  
• Complete widget for temperature controller (setpoint, setpoint status, actual temperature and control value)
  
• Complete widget for shutters (up/down/stop/direct position and position status)
  
• Easy way to integrate trends in the same page as widgets
  

[Rune]

If it is easier to do them as pop ups instead of widgets, that would work too!

Hi,
For commercial projects we are doing huge 4k pages with lots of objects. Because of that we are waiting 2 things which is very important for us.
1-) Multi select - Multi copy : I'm glad to see multi copy but still multi select is missing. To select 40 objects one by one is crazy. Maybe you don't need in home automation but we definitely need it in commercial projects.
2-) We have too many pages with different group addresses but the rest of the page is the same. For example, there are 100 group addresses on 1 page. We will make 30 of these pages. And only the group addresses are different. We want to export this page, quickly change the group addresses in it with a macro or tool that we will write, and import it again. For this reason, we expect the group address information of the exported pages to be in an easily changeable format.
3-) As i understood tile format will replace mosaic. If it's true can we say we don't have to make visuals with 2 different program in the future ?

Hi yes i have seen the room copy function. But you need to change group address one by one. We have excel macro and standart groupp adress which replace group address with one click but we can't use for LM page backups. 
When you export a page in LM , you know it's a TAR file. When we open this TAR file there is a file named data.json. When we open this data.json there are objectid like 286 but if we can see also object addresses like for control 2/1/1 and status 2/1/2 in this data.json, we can develope tool for easy to copy with our excel macro. thx

Hi,
I forget to add one of the another important request tht we need. Rotating the widget without css. Now, if we need to rotate a widget ( mostly rectangle shaped lamps in a floor plan ) there are 2 ways. We are creating 45 , 30 degree rotated png version of rectangle shapes and we are adding to icon library or we are adding rotate30, rıtate 45 css to our custom css library. This is very unpractical. Like scaling we need to rotate in the shape directly via editing mode.

Widjet constructor woukd be very helpfull. (not like in mosaic)
there a lot of types for climate control
{ only setpoint,
setpoint and current,
setpoint and on/off,
setpoint and mode,... heat/cool indication, fan control.)

Control4 system has Widjet for most of KNX developers (first you choose Thermostat, second you choose brand) I can provide screen later.

its a lot of work for you, so mebe Widjet constructor cold fix this problem.

More widgets will be added later, including thermostat.

Open left menu, click "Levels / Plans", select "Custom widgets". This is similar to custom widgets in Mosaic.

Clickable Areas for Page Links
Instead of relying on transparent icons or widget links, it would be great if LM5 had a built-in feature for defining clickable areas. This would make it easier to link specific parts of a page without struggling to position a transparent icon accurately.

[Diggerz]

The ability to quickly view and edit the linked widgets objects would be very usefull.

It seems easy to configure one widget to the style and appearance needed, then duplicate it or copy / past multiple of them and align them and so on.

However unless im missing something it then seems you need to double click each one, select the objects tab and adjust the dropdown for each one individually which may take some time depending on the quantity.

If the linked objects could be displayed when selected without needing to double click this would help in 2 ways. First, to quickly see what objects are currently linked to the widget, and second to quickly change the linked objects.

Another would be the ability to free draw clickable shapes. This could be used for custom clickable areas for page links ( if left transparent ) or so areas on plans can be traced with clickable control and status.

Custom widjet have no name field
it would be nice to change text lebels in widjet copies like "replace group address" menu

Hello, 

I'm very excited to hear that you are developing a new visualization interface. I immediately ordered LМ5 lite to see how it looks with the new Visu beta version. Great work, but I still want to create beautiful visualizations. Clients see the final result. Can I create similar the attached visualizations with new Visu?

Link to the article from which I copied the above visualizations:

Something similar can be done. Visu is web-based so advanced customization can be done via CSS.

Plans, layouts and custom widgets will have import/export option. Same as in old visu.
