[Idea] Dashboard tile that shows last N notifications sent for smartly

I don't know why but until I saw Smartly, I hadn't really realized that I could do just about whatever I wanted with the dashboard using CSS. Something I'm working on that plays nice with smarty (interested in feedback). I added a scrolling marquee (the right way using css animations) that basically checks for any push notifications sent to any mobile app devices and displays the last N push notifications sent.

Thoughts? Useful? Valuable?

Thanks @spelcheck and @TechMedX for all the cool work on Smartly!

I think it would be cool.

This is probably feature creep on my part, but would it be possible to show last event for things like a switch, thermostats, or other devices? Not sure where you are getting the data to drive this so maybe that is out of the question.

Right now I’m subscribing to the notificationText event of the mobile app. Theoretically it could be made to subscribe to any event

Thanks.

Interested to see where this goes.

Though I love seeing smartly being used, is this specifically something that would require a smartly-updated dashboard?

useful and valuable :+1: I like it!

I’m not sure. I’d have to see if the same css works without smartly

I'm confident it will :v:. happy smartly inspired you to come up with this! if you're able to do a horizontal marquee using CSS only (aside from the device), you should be able to do bootstrap-like push notifications that stack and fade out yeah?

a tile can "exist" just to be a path for injection, it doesn't necessary need to actually live in the grid :nerd_face:

How about pushing messages to an RSS feed, and reading from that?
Just thinking out aloud :slight_smile:

I think he's reading direct from HE so there is no external requirements. I'm looking forward to seeing the code.

Yeah all this is doing right now is reading HE events. Now the CSS could be used to scroll anything, so if someone has a stock ticker driver, it could display that.
