Introduced with platform version 2.3.9, the Easy Dashboard boasts built-in functionality previously unattainable with the existing Hubitat Dashboard. This revamped interface not only provides extensive details on your connected devices but also delivers a seamless drag-and-drop experience for effortless dashboard creation on demand.
Feel free to utilize this section for sharing your feedback, ideas, and showcasing your Easy Dashboards. Your input and creativity are highly valued!
For more details on how to get started with the new dashboard, check out the documentation or watch the how to video.
Does the upgrade to 2.3.9 include a way to import existing dashboards into Easy Dashboard, or do they need to be created from scratch?
Even if some attributes (color, position, icon) don't map from the legacy dashboard to ED (no, Easy Dashboard, not the other "ED"), it would still be great to have new dashboards created with the same names and auto-populated with the same devices with the previous template pre-selected for each device.
Is there somewhere I can go to see some detailed setup instrucutions. There is a basic one in Hubitat Documentation but no where good enough to be able to set anything up other than a real basic one.
I have been trying to use the Easy Dashboard and there are a lot of room for improvement.
Colour picker for custom background tile colour should have a hex / rgba input field as well. I am unable to make my tiles have the same colour outside of apply default to all tiles.
Custom backgrounds colour should have the option to apply to all the same types of tiles (switches or lights for example)
There are a number of issues with padding where the dashboard responses result in squished tiles with words or content cutoff or missing.
Squished tiles also have their font colour change based on size (see gif below)
The amount of padding is very high making a lot of white space. When attempting to fill it through sizing text as per dashboard settings, it does not actually reduce padding.
Cannot resize all types at the same time.
A new dashboard has squished tiles instead of sized as per contents.
Responsive dashboard results in different dashboards. I actually think I like this but that also means we have to adjust window size to force multiple views or layouts then customize each one. One dashboard with multiple hidden layouts is harder to fix than making one dashboard for every layout. I want responsive to work though so keep going.
In some responsed layouts, unable to size the tiles to the layout appropriately. For example on a 3 column layout each time is 1 or 2 or 3 and no halves making it very unbalanced an unable to match the tile to the space.
Bottom right most time is obscured by plus/lock symbol and cannot be resized, you have to move the tile, resize it somewhere above and move back. Recommend saving black space at the bottom to never obscure tiles at end of dashboard.
Customization of tile is limited. Icon can be changed but not the icon colour.
Some tiles come with multiple font, font colour and font sizes like the thermostat (Temperature setpoint font is red, temperature reading is black and smaller font).
Battery icon background does not match custom background colour resulting in more mismatch of colours.
Hi folks, thanks for your help in advance. How do I get a thermostat to show on a tile successfully so that I can adjust temp from the tile.. At the moment my thermostat tiles are displaying a smiley face which is not helpful
how about tiles to display content, like the hubigraph for my solar panel, as a tile, or as a pop-up DHTML window that I can dismiss. Or the ability to link to other tiles or URLs?
Also, the separator tile is nice, but need to ability to set a custom background color.
For reference, my Sharptools.io panel looks like this:
I'm not looking to replace SharpTools, not yet at least, but I need a solution that lets me do a lot of this stuff for a mobile friendly solution. It's a toss up if I go with easy dashboard, or continue mobile version development on sharp tools. I like the idea of connecting directly to the hub for this, so easy dashboard is a dashboard solution that finally looks polished, but it needs just a bit more..
Does anyone else have an issue using tiles with attributes containing tables/graphs?
The same UI work on the old dashboards and not on the new easy ones for me.
Seems like it indeed. I only need to cleanup the event value which contains html like to get the url and then raise a new event from a virtual device supported by the new dashboards.
Or, wait for more devices to be supported. Does anyone have a roadmap for this feature?
The url changes everytime the chart is recreated and has a random guid for the chart. Soni cannot find a way to get this working. I would find it strange that the new dashboard cant display html, does not support custom devices and is meant for a small subset of the devices supported by Hubitat.
