I am in the process of finalizing a new app for updating DakBoard (DAKboard - A customizable display for your photos, calendar, news, weather and more!) widgets from Homey.
It uses the Dakboard API which means you need to have a PLUS subscription.
Also please note that the DakBoard API is rather limited so what can be done is likewise limited.
It currently supports disabling(hiding)/enabling widgets as well as updating the text of widgets.
Please let me know if there is any interest and/or anyone have feature requests…
It is essentially just text blocks so not very fancy.
I marked all widgets controlled by Homey with red squares.
To the left: The red square with windows is only showed when any window is opened and shows a list of opened Windows.
Lower part has two text boxes with average zone temperatures as well as min/max.
There are some fancier widgets (like meters) but in essence DakBoard is rather limited in what you can do via the API so not sure how much more stuff can be done.
If you have sensors for that data I guess… I have window sensors on all doors and windows, Then I have the following flows: Shared Flow | Homey and Shared Flow | Homey
One sets the text to a coma-separated list of all windows/doors (filtering out things like mailbox, closets and such) the other disables the block when all windows are closed.
Same would work for locks if your lock reports that.
As for images from cameras, currently not, and not really sure homey would be the right solution for that, probably easier to show an i-frame directly in DakBoard or some such…
Tks for the effort @Michael_Medin!
I’m building my Dakboard with touch capability and a full integration with Homey to control smart devices would be a game change to everyone struggling to have a proper wall mounted dashboard. There is a huge gap in that sense that neither player managed to cover, homey, apple, amazon, SmartThings, etc
Humm… Is that possible with dakboard? As far as I know dakboard does not support touch? Would be awesome for sure, been dreaming of a good wallscreen for decades
New version in testing DakBoard | Homey which supports Homey Pro 2023. It is submitted so once Homey Have a look it should go live… In team mean time you can use the test build and let me know any issues.
This version also adds support for enabling/disabling as well as seeing/changing text in the app. This however requires you to re-add your devices due to how homey works.
@Michael_Medin Really appreciate your effort for this app.
I am trying to set up some of my tiles to show on the Dakboard but do i have to make a flow with a script separate for every tile to show? I would just like to show some temperature tiles and if my garage is open or not.
Would you mind share some insights or ways to go about this? Not familiar with scripts tbh
Currently thats how it works, yes… I guess it might be possible to add some kind of “templates” so you could just say create a tile and set that to “{{temperature}]}”? I’ll look into it…
