[Announcement] - New SenseCAP app (yep, another one) SenseCAP Dashboard and Thermostat <SCAPDAT>

Custom Apps and Drivers
1

I decided to go all out and super size my previous sensor only app and driver. It now has these features:

  • Added Locks, Garage Doors and Lights - all controllable on the device.
  • Added a simple Thermostat page. I needed something to view and control a heat pump split system in our main bedroom controlled with a Remotec Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender. There are two modes set by Mode Manager - Away and Not Away (all other modes). We like to keep this room ready for a nap at any time we are home. Although a temperature is displayed from the Remotec, it is not accurate, so a different temperature sensor can be used.
  • Single type of device per page or a mixture of devices - you choose. Single type of device makes it easier to create a page, but the Mixture is more flexible.
  • Ability to rearrange pages and devices on a page.
  • The Thermostat is a special case, and will always use an entire page with a 2x2 grid.
  • Can have up to 6 pages, each page can be 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5. I got rid of the 6x6 and 7x7 as they weren’t really practical.

@Slate sounds great and just what I want to do with mine. Just need more time to set it up :slight_smile:

Thanks for doing all this work!

Let me know if I can help.

The app seems to have a bug, I cannot install it:
unexpected token: } @ line 1422, column 9.

App or driver? Actually must be the driver, as the app isn’t that long. I just reinstalled the driver, and didn’t get any errors. What is at that line in the code? Please show me the statements a couple before and after that line.

It was the app driver, but for some reason the import now seems to work?!
Fluke ore something.

@Slate I have got your app installed and working :slight_smile: Thank you its great!

I am not sure if I have mucked up the install somehow, but on the lighting page I made, If I touch one of the lights in the grid (4X4) a different light turns on or off. If you need more info or anything just let me know what you need.

Thanks again for all the time and effort you have put into this great app for the Sensecap Indicator

Further investigation: I have tried deleteing the other pages and only keeping the lighting page to see if that helped, also tried different amount of lights/grid size to see if that helped. So far grid pressed turns on different grid light in all settings tried so far.

Thanks for the nice words, but credit goes to Claude.

Interesting. Is it a light that is one of the 4, or some other random light? I have another SenseCap coming to play with. I’ll try to reproduce your issue when I get it.

Got new SenseCAP and installed OpenHASP and my app and driver. Created a single page of Lights. It works properly. I did make a change the the app a couple of days ago, but that only affected the Thermostat page. You might try getting the updated app and see if it makes a difference.

Thanks, my lighting page works perfectly now with the new version :slight_smile:

I really like all the functonality you (and Claude) have built in. The Sensecap Indicator is now a great mini dashboard!!

Version 1.5.0 is out. Main differences:

New grid sizes - 3x2, 4x3, 5x4, and 6x5. We didn’t create a 2x1, but easy to do if anyone is interested. Other cleanup. We created a page with a clock and alarm, then discovered that the buzzer isn’t exposed (or at least we couldn’t activate it) so it got removed. I don’t have any blinds, but could add if someone wants to test. Let me know.
