HousePanel Dashboard App for Hubitat

Glad you got it man... I wonder why you had to reauth? Anyway, looking good. Yes, I love this new feature. The underlying architecture of HousePanel is very flexible and this new feature shows that off. So this is a nod to the architecture more than to this specific feature - but then again, from a customer point of view nobody cares about the underpinnings. But when you have it right - all sorts of good things follow.

I guess this means I need to get cracking on the fix to enable custom tiles to update when the system is polled once a minute.

[EDIT] Done with latest update.

Not sure either - But from your screenshot of your hmoptions.cfg file the layout of mine looked different. I thought maybe I had carried it forward from a few too many upgrades. So I backed it up and started over. it immediately started working. LOL often times I do not argue with results.

I am noticing though that any time I edit the custom lines, save the file, then refresh housepanel the custom tiles are no longer present in the dashboard. Adding them back is no problem wondering if it only me.

that happens probably because you didn't download the version of the file that had the custom tile added to your room.

Happy Thanksgiving good people!

Today I uploaded a patch that includes polling for the new custom tiles plus other bug fixes.

This version also has new tile edit features plus some new Sonos icons.

Enjoy.

Hi friends... if you have an updated hub to the new UI version 2.0 or later, the local OAUTH flow is currently inoperable. The Hubitat staff are looking into fixing it so stay tuned. In the mean time you can authenticate using the cloud endpoint or you can enter a manual access code using the info printed in the log.

HousePanel Version 1.925 released tonight.

This version includes the patch for Hubitat broken zWave dimmers. More importantly, I added a cool new feature to edit borders of anything visual, including the entire tile. With this feature you can make tiles or elements of tiles round, square, rounded rectangles, and you can set their shadows or border thickness. It gives you all sorts of new visual options. Here's a demo of my Office where I changed my main light to a rounded rectangle with thick border and a white shadow.

Have fun with this...

By the way, you can also use this to make borders go away altogether so you have just icons. This is useful if you want to put your icons on a house floor plan.

Version 1.926 posted with docs update and a help button. Pretty cool analog clock update too. Longer post described over on the ST forum.

Okay good people!!! I hope you all enjoyed the blast of serial updates to HP. That is what happens when I have a week away from work. The last post is Version 1.927 with all sorts of goodies and tweaks. I hope you all enjoy. I won’t be updating again for a while since I’m now back to work and focused on those things. Please collect up any feedback and wish lists for the next time I have a few days to spare - should be right around Christmas time.

Damn, You have been on a roll ken, I have not been able to keep up. Looking forward to testing all these new tweaks.

Is Hubitat still broken when trying to OAUTH? Is there a workaround to authorize HousePanel with Hubitat 2.0?

I was able to authorize HP using the oauth.cloud.habitat.com URL set as API Url, but even though I can successfully authorize all my devices and HP successfully saves hmoptions.cfg, it just stays at that page and never renders anything.

I do have CURL enabled.

Any thoughts?

Did you click the bottom most button to say Done authorizing?

Yea, I was off work for a whole week and had tons of free time. Hope you enjoy.

Yeah, it reloads the same page

Hmmmm shouldn’t do that unless it didn’t authorize properly. A few things to check:

  • did the access code and end points get loaded in the gray boxes?

  • after authentication did it tell you how many devices were authorized?

  • did your hmoptions file get updated?

  • open a log window and repeat the auth.. does it show the devices being loaded?

If all above are yes and it still happens let me know because then it must be a bug. Then again it is working for me.

One other thing - a better workaround that will also work is to manually enter the access and end points from the log after you save the app. Be sure to unselect cloud so you get local access.

Thanks a lot @kewashi ! I was trying to make it work from a VPN at my work and apparently something was not working as expected. When I got home I was able to make it work.

Do I need to keep the Cloud endpoint or is it safe to change the config file to use my hub directly?

if you change to use your hub directly you will have to change the access code and endpoint to match. To get those just open a log window and then in a separate window (or on your phone) open the Hubitat main page and load the HousePanel app, un-select cloud, and then resave it. This will display in the log the access code and end point you need for using HP via a local hub.

None of this nonsense will be needed if they fixed the local OAUTH flow but this workaround does work.

The oauth page is fixed in the next release.

@kewashi I have the MyQ Lite app to control my garage door, and HousePanel creates a tile with a lamp (switch) and a garage door. I'm trying to get rid of the switch so I have only the garage door but I can't figure out how to do that. I can make the lamp disappear but the garage door will never move to the front of the tile if I resize the tile.

Any thoughts?
