Hi,
Is there a way to add picture/camera feed to the easy dashboard?
in the old dashboard i could add picture that updated every second...
Thanks,
Lior
You need to create Virtual Image device, load the url and refresh rate on it, and then use an Image Tile in the Easy Dash.

Is there a link that explains how to load the url to a Virtual Image device?
Don’t recall seeing one, but the device has two commands - one for loading the URL and one for the refresh rate, so pretty straight forward.
Seemed that way, but every time I enter the url, then save, the url disappears...
Do you mean "Save Preferences"? This is not a preference setting, the URL you are entering is a parameter to the Set Image URL command, you need to click the command once you have entered the URL string.

Thank you!! I did not know about clicking the same rectangle into which I enter the data.
That worked!!

Can this new virtual device be used for something like the quick graphs?
Anything that generates a jpg, gif, png
Take a look at the Virtual URL device for those. (Also supports Images and Video.)
Thanks, i will try to get the image url if that is a thing. The virtual device that generates the graph is not available to add to the dashboard, so hopefully it generates an image and not html.
HTML will work in the Virtual URL device if it is served up from an endpoint or from a file.
The QuickCharts app generates an image on a publoc URL.
The event for when it changes a chart provides html, for an image element and the url is random.
My camera's snapshot image format is CGI. Should that also work with a virtual image? I cannot get mine to work but I may have something going on.
Also, does the image auto-size to fit within the size of the image window, or do I need to specify the correct size for the window?
It will autosize. CGI is fine as long as the output is mpeg...
On ez it's setup as http://192.168.2.63:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=xxxx&pwd=xxxxx
