[RELEASE] Remote Builder – A New Way to Control Devices - 7 Remotes Available

Just started playing around with smart grid. Amazing.

am i missing something though? I'm getting the scroll bar on the side. Can this be removed?

Also for order, is there a way you can implement a custom sort order? A way to manually set up the order of elements in the table. This will be handy if a temp or contact sensor needs to be next to a switch as temp and contact sensors don't have a name modification.

-For temp sensors, can we add a decimal place modification? I have temp sensors that read between 22.5-23.5

The scrollbar on the side should only appear when the table length exceeds the size of the viewport. For example, if I change my preview length to shorter then the scrollbars will appear. If I make it longer then it will disappear.

Note that the Max Width setting actually carries into the final result whereas the Preview Height does not.

If this does not address your concern then post a pic so I can see what is going on.

I can see why you say that, but actually the Device Name Modification does apply to both the Controls and Sensors. I just chose to include it on the Controls real estate as it has the higher visibility.

The names of the devices is the primary sort order so you do have some control although I realise it's limitations. You can also include the roomName column and sort on this if that helps. I have enquired whether the Tags and Notes features in 2.4.X can be accessed programmatically which would probably be the best option.

Yes, that is an easy one and makes sense for Celsius. You will have the option for 0 or 1 decimal places.

You can find SmartGrid 3.1.4 on HPM.

Ok, there was something very strange going on. I dont think the app updated properly because I had the old arrows for sorting. I deleted the device and the apps and started from scratch and it seems to be ok.

Now when i was playing around with sizing to try to get the table as small as possible to fit on a phone screen i noticed what seems to be an extra column:

Can you comment on this? If i delete the "colgroup" the table fills the tile area nicely:

EDIT: I figured out this happens only when you remove the first column (Hide Column 1 - Selection Boxes?)

I set the Text Color to White but it only changes the device names not the state. Is that expected behavior or is there a way to change the text color for the state column?

Thanks for sharing that. Should be easy to fix now you reproduced it. Thank you.
Trying to recall why I had to add a colgroup in the first place. I think the need for that has been eliminated when I changed the sort header highlighting. I love when I can remove lines of code and do no harm.

I’ll have a fix tomorrow.

That is an oversight on my part but it should be an easy fix. I think the text color setting should apply to all text other text other than the header. If you agree I’ll have a fix for you tomorrow. Thanks for helping to shake the bugs out of this.

My pleasure. Implementing Style settings like on the Tile Builder would be great too but hey it's all great work and I can deal. :smiley:

Fixed in the next release.

Easy fix. In the next release.

SmartGrid 3.1.5 just released to HPM. Fixes all reported issues.

Upgraded and nothing appears now in the preview. Haven't tried publishing as I don't want to break it.

Do a Publish. That is what compiles the App code.
For anyone else: I just updated the code without a version number refresh. It should cause the code to recompile automatically whenever the Grid content changes.

This is what I get even after the publish.... in two different instances:

And it is the current version. At least the bottom of the page says:

Version: Remote Builder - SmartGrid 3.1.5 (1/12/25)

When I go to the actual Dashboard after the publish it looks like nothing has changed. Maybe the update didn't do something it should have? Going to run the repair option in package manager and see if that fixes it.

The repair did not help.

Try two things. One, can you create a new one from scratch. Two, have a look in the log and let me know if you are getting any errors. Sorry for the hassle.

Log is clean I'll set up a new one later and see what happens.

Looks like this is another issue with Brave... it works fine in Safari. So so weird. I promise to check both Brave and Safari before reporting an issue next time.

Spoke too soon the STATE column still is ignoring the text color selection.

So the prior version also had this issue but did display in Brave. This version still has the problem and doesn't display in Brave for some reason. Just in summary.

Also I just tried to hide Column 5 and 6 but they still display in the preview and on the dashboard when published.
