[APP][Pro] Enhanced Device Widgets. Live 1.1.21, Test 1.1.23

Cool one, isn’t it! Discovered it a few weeks ago.
I think it might be easier to fire up HA and combine dashboards :grimacing:

Adrian, would it be possible to enlarge the width of the labels a bit? They are cut very early. Would be wonderful to see a bit more, because now my labels doesn’t say anything.

Can hou share the flow as a TEF so we can use it?
Thank you.

Yes, that’s probably true. But I can’t access the Community Store from HA with Docker on my NAS and I don’t want to buy a Raspberry only for this. Or is there another option?

Unfortunately, it looks very good. :rofl:

You’d be able to install it w/o HACS?
Look for “Manual install” @ the github repo
But no Docker guru here :rofl:

When you have a windows/linux/apple pc/laptop/thin client laying around, install VMware, VirtualBox or KVM;
download the matching virtual image and off you go.
I use an €75 used HP Elitedesk thin client

That would be handy is you can share the ter @Cuprani

To be use multiple picture on the same spot you have to pin the widget on that same spot.

Take a traffic light. You needed 4 or 5 pictures and there widgets: All off, Red, Yellow, Green and maybe Red + Yellow on.

To make the traffic light look real you have to make flows that let see the right picture on the right place.

Just my 2 cents. :wink:

Hi Nils, you don’t have any problems with the height of the Status Display widget with custom html?

When the Dashboard is opened, the widget height is always wrong, i.e. the full content is not shown.

Once I trigger an update, the widget height is usually corrected, but not always.

And trying to load external images, they all end up with wrong colors.

Only on the first load. Not when it is updated the first time, then it looks right.
I now implemented an update button in the dashboard so I can update all cards after loading the first time.

But still, a lot of actions mess up the layout. Somehow it is not really consistent in the layout errors. I’ll try to find different ways with forcing settings through HTML.
And as it is all new, I think future updates can both, or make it more stable, or change behavior and you can do the designing all over again… :slight_smile:

I am now experimenting with background images, which work fine. Also from external source without wrong colors.

Thanks @Cuprani :slight_smile:

I will not implement an update button though - that’s too messy. If this is not fixed by Athom, I will not have these widgets,

I can recommend using svg icons (copy the entire code). Colors fixed.

The test version has an update button to refresh the widget.

How often does the app push out a new update to the statuswidget?
I have variables in my statuswidget that changes every two minutes at most, but the status widget doesnt seem to keep up.
When I push the refresh icon the correct information is shown, so I guess that the app have the correct information, but doensn’t push it out fast enough.
Many apps have a setting for how often to update, but I havent seen anything like that here.

Also if I back out of the dashboard and go back in the right information is there. But my dashboard is up and going 24/7

I have the same issue; even if the screen is on 24/7 the updates stops after some (unknown) time.

See further up.

The app registers capability change listeners, so it should update as soon as the values change. However, I have also had issues with my Button + app where the listeners just stop working and have to be registered again. That started happening with one of the Homey firmware updates about 6 months ago. Again I have reported it but as it’s random, it will be difficult to track down.

@Cuprani - did you succeed to load images without wrong colors? I haven’t :frowning:

This worked for me with external pictures. Colors stay correct.

I’m trying to get images working but the image isn’t loading

I’m trying to get the energy working what @Cuprani made but I think o do something working with all the html codes ?

Thanks, never ever heard about the filter tag, but that worked!

As an alternative, you can also add images as backgrounds.

@Adrian_Rockall - We still think that Athom will solve the update issues with the Status Widget, right? I mean that all the updates we push through flows always will be reflected on the Dashboard, which is not the case today.
