[RELEASE] HD+ - Android Dashboard

thanks for the log.. first thing I see is no obvious way to tell if the temp is in C or F.. so it'll probably have to be a setting. Guessing it can be a global option vs per-device

"attributes": {
                "checkInterval": "600",
                "heatingSetpoint": "10.0",
                "thermostatOperatingState": "idle",
                "temperature": "16.9",

Yes, if possible. If that isn't possible than perhaps a popup showing all of the device's capabilities. But I think an optional separate tile for these functions would be the way to go.

I have a Honeywell thermostat (T6) and a Zen that should be in the logs I already sent you for other issues, if that helps. Let me know if you need me to resend.

If it says 100 degrees it's not celcius. :wink:

Global option would be fine......

Not sure if this is fixable, but I use this app to control the Roku TV I use with my computer: [Release] Roku Connect integration App and Roku TV Device Handler

The On/Off switch works from that app, but not within yours. The mute switch does work within your app, though. Weird.

doh.. I just realized I'm not even displaying "F" anywhere - just the degrees symbol.. so, maybe a C/F option isn't really necessary.

Thanks for the config file! I see the issue(s) for displaying your thermostats. The app is looking for thermostatSetpoint and that field isn't there. I'm guessing that's because the thermostatMode = "off" which makes sense. I can display the current temperature as a fallback. I can also do more to the UI so it's clear the thermostat is off can the up/down arrows can't be used. Let me know if I'm reading this wrong.

in Chrome that url displays the mjpg just fine

I did a little research and it seems the default image view doesn't support MJPG. But, there's some options that do support it. Is this a common format / URL used in cameras? I'll add it to my list to add support for it. I also plan to support live video (RTSP?) as well and they might be related

I don't have a Roku - but I can take a look if you export your config file (nav->more->export) and send it to me. I might have some questions about which command(s) correspond to which functions but hopefully it'll be obvious

Sent to your email.

RE: Roku -- thanks for the config file! I see - the "Roku Computer" device is being displayed as a Speaker device type. If you want to treat this device as a switch (on/off) instead you can use Edit->Change Device Type->Switch.

However, I see a capability I haven't seen before - TV

            "capabilities": [
                "Switch",
                "Polling",
                "Refresh",
                "TV",
                "AudioVolume"
            ]

I'll add support in the app for a "TV" device type.. I have to think about the UI for this as there's a lot of different commands - too many to fit on a small tile. But, maybe a remote-looking popup..

[EDIT] -- a 2nd option is to use the Button device type.. the reason to use this is if your Roku 'switch' isn't always in-sync with the correct on/off state. I know lots of device drivers are polling so they're not kept in sync if you update the device outside of HE. The "Button" device type would offer a dedicated On Off buttons where the switch is more for toggling on/off (assumes the switch state is always correct)

I should be able to set thermostatSetpoint in the driver....... let me look at that.

MJPG is what Blue Iris is giving me and I can display it on the stock Hubitat Dashboard with a 1 second refresh rate. Long time ago when I was on ST I used ActionTiles and it displayed it properly as live video. Blue iris can take in different video formats and make them all available as MJPG, without needing authentication, which is just fine on a local network. I think MJPG is fairly common.

I was just able to get my nest thermostat added to HE and noticed it also doesn't have that field set. my system is also off. so, I'll fix it in the app too

Great - I've just added it to the driver now - about to test.

Yep, that was the problem. Works great now. Thanks! :slight_smile:

I have it working fine now...... I just got the driver to set the setpoint into thermostatSetpoint whenever heatingSetpoint got changed...

Setpoint is displayed in the app regardless of mode. In this driver it's either "off" or "heat".

Many thanks.

version 1.0.543 (beta)

  • thermostat UI fixes
  • add folder option to show folder contents (disable to use single image instead)

The thermostat UI should look better now when off. I'll continue to work on the entire widget to add more control options though.

I can't remember is someone else asked for this or not.. hard to search through old posts. Anyway, I added an option to show the folder's contents (defaulted to true); if disabled, you'll get a single icon which you can change like any other icon..

Speaking of folders, I've got at least 1 TODO item I plan to add soon:

  • stack similar device types into a single icon.. so, if you have 10 contact sensors and you put them all in a folder, the app would display 1 stacked contact icon.. ideally with the overall state (ie: all closed, all open or mixed)

Thanks for the update! When I look at it I don't see any difference between how the thermostat looks behaves and it did on the previous version. I'm probably missing something that happens a lot. :slightly_smiling_face:

If I tapped the uptown arrows it doesn't change the current set point and if I go into the list of options by tapping on the tile and choose change set point nothing appears to happen then either.

I'll send you a current log case that helps.

The TV capability is part of the official list of capabilities, but Hubitat does not yet implement it. I wanted to make sure it was already available for if/when they do implement it.

As for the on/off issue, I implement switch, and this is enough for all other dashboard systems to see this as a device that supports on/off events. Let me know if you need me to change anything.

You can DM me, or open an issue on my GitHub page (GitHub - apwelsh/hubitat)

I have a tile that is locked with a passcode so it cannot be clicked without a passcode. When i click on it within the this app nothing happens. A pop up comes on that asks if it should send the command. Is there an ability to have the keypad pop up so i can type in the code?

Previously the thermostat would always show the thermostatSetpoint but when the thermostat is off that doesn't make as much sense so I'm displaying the current temperature instead. Some thermostat drivers weren't sending thermostatSetpoint which was the original problem.

If the thermostat is off I'm not doing anything on the UP/DOWN arrows.. I was going to look at showing them as disabled. I'm not sure I can adjust the setpoints since I don't know which one to call: "setCoolingSetpoint","setHeatingSetpoint"

Maybe the right way to handle this is if - when clicked - to prompt to set the mode (cool/heat)
