Looks awesome! 👍

@desirous tack!!

📌

And feel free to contribute, we could make it a truly awesome product!

Ok, the moment has finally come, the git repository is now live!!

https://github.com/obia75/hadash

Please, be gentle, this is my first public project :)

@chabad360 sorry if it seems like I'm stalling, I'm doing the best I can with the limited time between family and work. Code-wise I'm now finished tweaking so I just have some documentation to write up, stay tuned!

As for devices I hope I was clear on that you need a running Home Assistant server where you have your devices already added. In my dashboard you simply refer to the entity id's (i.e switch.hallway) in the configuration. You can as well specify friendly names, size, color, position etc. All available entities can be listed from the HA web gui. Basically I'm only fronting/controlling whatever already is setup in HA.

@sylar182 you get a long way with only voice control! But as my family is reluctant to use that and don't want to fiddle with the phone to turn on the lights I thought I'd make a wall-mounted control panel instead. So far so good 😉

@Wack I know, I know but there are two things I need to fix. First of all as it's loosely built on a commercial template I need to remove/change some of the CSS. Secondly I really need to document the json structure for the config file or it won't make sense to anyone. Speaking of that, what is the best way of documenting json?

@chabad360 honestly I haven't touched it in a few months but since I'm still on vacation next week I'll try to find some time to make the last tweaks. If the weather allows it 😉

@meowijuanas he sure is, my little Batman

That's my boy

@chabad360 yes it would definitely be possible to break out bits and pieces to independent components. As for toners with buy as we go. We've looked into buying automatic toner deliveries as a service but apparently the business case said it wasn't worth it. Which to me doesn't make sense but that's another story.

@chabad360 unfortunately not, as the code is technically owned by my company and also made for our speficic environment.

@chabad360 Hassbian

@jonii I actually did something like that at work. On a web page you enter your computer name and an automatic troubleshooter starts up that checks your computer for drivers issues, compares that with the print server, checks for queue errors etc etc. If you select a specific Citrix application that you're having issues with unit will also check the corresponding terminal server. It easily sorting out 60-70% of the usual printer issues at work.

@CozyPlanes The dashboard has a quite simple stack:

- Web server of any kind
- JS/Jquery for logic
- HTML
- bootstrap theme + some custom CSS for styling

Of course the dashboard requires a running HA installation where you set up all your devices and automations (I have both HA and the dashboard running on the same RPi)

@gunslinger yup, already have that setup. Left is to control the motor of the sun blinds from the newly purchased rfxtrx433e. Apparently I need a Windows computer to make that configuration. Fuck.

@gunslinger and thanks for reminding me that I need a motion detector paired to the garage lights 😁👍

@gunslinger cool! Custom fire and smoke detection? I have it integrated in my Verisure alarm, that also can be controlled from HA. I use alarm state to trigger the vacuum and lights differently depending on if we are home or not. Another cool thing that I've done is to add an USB IR transmitter to the Pi that can control my old Denon receiver. HA detects if the Chromecast audio changes to Playing and then turns the receiver on. 5 min idle and it turns off again. That paired with a Google Home is working really well. Next up is to control the sun blinds depending on the weather forcast for the coming hours 😁🌞

@chabad360 not yet, need to clean it up a bit first

@Floydian for HA not really, although it helps. It's mostly about configuration so you do need to understand the YAML format. For my dashboard no, but you need to understand json structure as that how you configure it. I actually built another tool where you can build the dashboard in a nice drag and drop gui and then generate the json from there, for my non-techie friends 😁 that's not completely finished yet though

@Floydian well, you host everything yourself and no internet is required, unless you want external access when you're not at home and in that case you need to take some security measures.

@Floydian thanks! So, Home Assistant is an open source project with the aim of controlling smart things in your home. The dashboard I built is connected using a websocket and can get/set properties within HA. Basically I wanted to have a wall mounted control panel for controlling my home. Right now I control lights, switches and the vacuum robot. I also pull info from inside temp sensors, wheather info from internet sources as well as getting news from any wished RSS feed that rolls in the bottom of the screen. I've also integrated support for cameras with clickable thumbnails that updates at any given interval but I don't own any cameras. Yet 😁

@Kimmax It's an actual floor plan that I snapped with my phone and edited in Photoshop. The layout consists of three layers. Layer 1 (optional) can show any repeated image, I chose a grid. Layer 2 (also optional) can show any image as an overlay, I chose a floor plan (and vacuum). Layer 3 contains all HA entities

@gitworktree Just a couple of smalle ones to handle specific functionality, like long-press.js for brining up a context menu on long press. Otherwise vanilla js and jquery. Bootstrap for styling.

@trickory lol, I haven't given up yet😁

@rstular Hope to publicly in the near future! Good question though, GitHub or GitLab? 😁

@BigBoo yes 😁 but all strings are available in the config and can be translated as you wish.

@olltard tack! Tyckte jag fick till det mer eller mindre som jag föreställt mig 😁👍

@Kimmax that has been the purpose from the start, but you know how it is. Just need to fix a few things, make some proper documentation etc.. 😁
