[APP][Pro] Widgetkeeper - dashboards in your browser + custom widgets

1.0.3 is in testing

A small one, mostly from your requests. Test version: https://homey.app/a/com.thomassidor.widgetkeeper/test/

Web dashboards:

  • Keep screen on: a switch in the front page’s Settings (under the pen) stops the tablet from sleeping while the page is open. It works best over HTTPS, as with the away-from-home address. On the home address it falls back to a silent video, which works on iPads and iPhones.
  • Dim: a slider in the same Settings darkens the whole page, for the night.
  • Both are saved per browser, so the hallway tablet and your laptop each keep their own.

Light Controls:

  • Widen the last tile: with an odd number of tiles, the last one fills the row. This is handy for a room’s lights grouped into one tile.

Clock, Locks and Doors, Activity Dots, Cameras:

  • Time format: 24 or 12 hours, whatever language your phone or browser uses. Automatic (the default) works as before.

This will probably be the last update before taking it out of test - unless something critical pops up.

I’m holding off any new widgets or major changes until a version 1.1.0 - which will probably not happen until mid to late November as I’m going away for a bit :beach_with_umbrella: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

But even though I’m not resonding to each and every suggestion/request I have it all noted:

Doesn’t mean I’ll do all of it - but it’s noted :slight_smile:

Great app. Have the web app running on a few tablets now with fully kiosk and works great.

Not sure if possible but is there a way of having pop up alerts for the web dashboard?

Edit: Sorry Just seen your last screenshot with popups mentioned.

Yeah - will be looking into this for 1.1.0

First of all, great app and good work!

A suggestion for the “day since” widget, a setting to only show yellow/red tasks.
I got some tasks with more than 30 days on the timer, which on most of the time will just take up screen space.

Thanks again.

Ok, 1.1.0 might be closer than mid/late September. Already have this up and running:

I love the new chart widget!

Should it be possible to extend the time period with choices for today and even yesterday (besides 24h)?

Well next September would be a long wait :wink: :rofl:

Put your keyboard down and go enjoy your holiday, if anyone has earned it it’s you dude… your work on this app has been outstanding… and I second that motion, those new chart widgets look sick!! :ok_hand:

Thank you for the best widgets we could ask for :smiley:

and I second that motion, those new chart widgets look sick!! :ok_hand:

Just to make it clear - if you’re talking about the large/wide chart - and not the chart widget in general: You can make any widget you like span several columns.

Even better! :sign_of_the_horns:

See screenshot:

I’ve pushed 1.0.3 for certification so it can be properly released.

When that’s done it will also make room for 1.1.0 in testing. If 1.0.3 gets out wednesday at the latest then I can push 1.1.0 before going away - but let’s see. I expect Athom being quite busy these days.

Latest on 1.1.0:

@ThomasRS Are you kidding? You are a genius! Omg Thanks! This looks absolutely amazing! :heart_eyes:

Btw is it possible to make some widget for security alarms? I have a virtual device, for my Aqara alarm, it works great from the tile, should be super cool to have it on the dashboard with your super beautiful widgets :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for the kind words :slight_smile:

Could you say a bit more about what you would expect from such a widget?

Hi Thomas,

First off, what a great app you build! I do have a question though. I’m running 1.0.3 and trying to recreate a dashboard I have in the Homey app itself.

It uses 2 widgets I developed myself but they display differently when I use the Web dashboard.
As you can see from the screenshots below they are a different height in the Web dashboard while the’re the same in Homey’s standard dashboard (which is how I designed them)
(The apps are not mine, I’ve sent in PRs to the app developers)

Original in Homey app

The same widgets in the Web dashboard

Thanks!

Hmm, could you link me the app and the repo on git (including PR) - then I’ll look into it.

Oh and if I need a BMW iX2 (or similar) for testing, feel free to send me one of those too :wink:

The PR in the Peblar app is merged, but the repo is private, I have to ask the original developer if he allows me to share the code with you.

The code for the BMW app is here: GitHub - daneedk/com.rexwel.bmwconnected · GitHub
(This PR is not merged, the developer is not responding unfortunately)

There’s some obvious differences in the BMW app too - so it might be enough to look at that. I’ll give it a go. Probably an universal thing across all widgets from other apps.

Had a look at it, and think I have a fix that I can include in 1.1.0. Still waiting for certification of 1.0.3 before I can push 1.1.0 though.

The reason is that the widgets measure their own content, and the BMW one has a picture as wide as the widget, so their heights depend on how wide the column is. On your iPad the column is about 365 px wide, on a web dashboard 440, so the car widget grows and the Peblar one shrinks a little. 1.1.0 adds two options: a Column width per dashboard (Narrow is a phone’s width, as on Homey), and Size as on Homey in another app’s widget settings, which lays it out at a phone’s width and scales it to fill the column. Either one should make the two widgets line up again.

You are welcome :slightly_smiling_face:

Just a simpel alarm panel so you can alarm and disarm with a code that you maybe set up in the app setting or widget? :slight_smile:

HA have som nice stuff when I google :slight_smile: see pic
