EZ Dashboard Issues: Settings don't save; labels don't edit; Fan & relay devices not supported

📝 Dashboards Easy Dashboard 🆕
1

Is anyone else having these issues? If so, I think they are bugs.

  1. When I create an EZ dashboard, then go to the lower left to the Dashboard settings, and change the tile height, the font size or the dashboard theme, and click save, it does not save. I have to do the process twice, and it saves after the 2nd time of doing the same edit.
  2. I've used the helper tile option on the lower right next to the lock/save icon. After creating the helper tile (eithe single width or entire row width) I can edit the text and font size in the helper tile by clicking the gear icon in the upper right of the helper tile, which brings up a pop up box showing the fields I can change, I make the change and click save; the change is then shown on the dashboard. However, if I then want to edit that helper tile again, the gear icon in the upper right of the helper tile is no longer clickable. I have to save/lock the dashboard, reload the page, and then unlock the dashboard before the helper tile gear icon is clickable for a second time.
  3. Also, although fans are now supported on EZ dashboard, not all of them are. I have a fan that came "Smart by Bond" meaning there is something internal to the fan allowing it to connect to the Bond App without the need for the Bond Bridge. I then used the native Hubitat Bond Integration (not the user app) to connect to the Bond App and pick up this fan. It comes into Hubitat as a parent device, with two child devices - one for the light and one for the fan. EZ Dashboards will pick up the light, but does not pick up the fan - I get a pink tile with red sad face icon for the fan device. If I click on the device, I get the message: Missing Attributes: Speed
    This fan does work in Legacy Dashboards. It may have something to do with the number of fan speeds: It has 5 speeds (Low, Medium Low, Medium, Medium High, High) as well as Auto.
  4. As posted in another thread, I have a Zooz Zen 16 with 3 relays. I used the relays as on/off switches. Hubitat recognizes them as such. However, EZ Dashboard Graphing does not allow the on/off status to be graphed.

I am also having the problem with Smart by Bond fan using an EZ Dashboard. I am getting an error indicating that it on supports two (2) fan speeds. It works fine with a Legacy Dashboard.

Good morning,

I have seen similar anomalies as well. Number 2 is always consistent. After the 1st edit you cannot edit the helper file title again until you either close the browser or the tab and create another tab and edit it again. Even then you will only get one opportunity to edit it again.

What I have found is the changes are being made; however, I don't see them until I press the save button and close the tab I am working in, create a new tab, re-open the ez-dashboard in the new tab, and resume editing. Regardless of this workaround, you still only get one opportunity to edit the title of a helper tile during the "session" until you either close the tab and restart a new editing session in a new tab or completely close down the browser and re-open a new one.

Except for the 1st shot at editing the title in an editing session (that just seems like a bug) it appear the browser needs to be refreshed to see the changes. NOTE: any attempt to refresh the browser has never worked. I just close the tab and create a new session in a new tab. No need to really close down the entire browser.

Final note: Although all the above comments are predicated on the use of Chrome, the same symptoms occur while using Edge as well for me.

Although I did use the bond controller for awhile I discontinued it's use when I found I would only control one device per controller.

Hope some of this was useful.
