@Erikvl87 do you think it’s possible for you to increase the font size?
@ODE This request is similar to what I mentioned to @Jan_Albert. I’ll need to consider the effort required to implement it and the number of configuration options it would introduce. Adding more options can make the widget harder to configure and increase the maintenance load for me as a developer, so I want to keep things as straightforward as possible while balancing flexibility.
Additionally, this might be something to address with Athom directly. I’m following their styling guidelines by using the default font sizes, so it could be helpful if they provided a general setting to adjust font (& widget) sizes overall. That way, users would have more control over text appearance across the platform without needing individual widgets to handle this.

ok thanks for your feedback.
i agree with the vision of taking charge of athom’s system. i’ve opened a thread in that direction. but it’s not having much success ;(
If other people could support my request, that would be great.
That would solve it. So I can use a range 0 to 5000, bring the value to absolute value inside the flow. This way I can have a single side bar and use the color to show positive/negative value.

Correct. I think you could even use the DataVista action card to set the range from 0 to 5000 or 0 to -5000 respectively to show a negative value if you’d like (I’ll make sure to check this out when behind my computer). I’ll try to get the feature for dynamic colors into a next version soon.

Just a quick update from my side. It’s been a while since new features were released. A few months ago, my family grew with the arrival of my daughter, which has naturally been my top priority. That said, I’m still passionate about improving DataVista. Work is currently ongoing for the line widget, and I’m committed to integrating it into DataVista. Please note that I’ll need to balance my time between work, family, and this hobby (DataVista).
The first release of the line widget will only allow you to select a single Homey insight with the ability to compare its data points against a previous range within that same dataset, e.g. comparing today vs yesterday, this week vs last week, for a single insight. This will allow you, for example, to compare your KwH usage or dynamic prices of today vs yesterday.
I will later try to extend this to compare results of different devices/insights, so you could show for example the temperature of different rooms in a single graph.

Congrats Erik. Nothing is more important than family. But Homey comes 2nd

Congratulations on your daughter! Hope you are spending some quality time with your family

A question for when you check in with the community forum: am I correct in that it is (currently) not possible to use HTML tags to format text in the Label and Status Badge widgets? At least when I try to do that the HTML tags themselves are displayed instead of them being interpreted.

On a dashboard I’ve placed Datavista’s Range indicator for a running wash-program. When the progress of the wash-program changes, the indicator should be updated. But sometimes the indicator isn’t updated and stucks at a certain value. When I exit the Dashboard, and start it again, then it displays the right value.
I wonder if I’m doing something wrong here, is this a bug in Homey Dashboard or a bug in Datavista app?
HTML is unfortunately not supported. For the label widget It’ll break the horizontal scrolling implementation and for both widgets the layout will highly likely suffer as well.
For that a dedicated HTML widget would probably be more suitable. I am not quite sure but I believe the Enhanced Device Widget offers such a widget.
It looks like you’re updating it correctly, so this may be a bug. Could you make an app diagnostics report when this happens again and share with me the identifier. Then I’ll take a look asap.
Correct!
Perhaps the mobile app lost the websocket connection.
This happens if the Tablet goes into powersave mode (if screen turns off).
If the screen turns on again, the app refreshes the standard widget but not the app widgets.
App widgets are refreshed in the newer app version, but perhaps not in current live version. I use the beta version and there it seems to work.
I discussed that with Jeroen (I think) on Slack and he wanted to add an auto refresh for app widgets (they should da a fresh reload to establish realtime messages).

Thanks Ronny! That’s some valuable info. I suspected something like that and if auto refresh would be implemented it would save me the time of having to implement a fallback for this scenario myself.

Hoi Erik,
Nog enig nieuws hier waarom dit nog steeds gebeurd?
Thx,
Gr.
@Erikvl87 I see the temperature seems to be always off with 0,1 % when comparing to the sensor it’s based on. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
Just a guess, but could it be that there are more than one decimal in the original device, but Homey only shows one, while DataVista rounds up?
Could be, but I see only one decimal in the original sensor. I’ve now added more progress bars and they are all different from the original sensor. Different from 0,1-0,3% higher, but also lower.
