Note: I happen to be running Windows 10, OH 3.4.2
I think I’ve pretty well got the basics down now. About time to move on from the Newbie Beginner group, I think. I do have a few parting questions, comments, and feel free to guide me to a better area to start asking these questions.
-
“Code” for Locations (Home Page)
config:
cardOrder:
- separator: Ground Floor
- GF_Living
- GF_Corridor
- GF_Kitchen
- GF_Toilet
- gGF
- separator: First Floor
– Is there a way to add separators from the UI? Or do you have to add via Code (which is fine)
– The inclusion of gGF (As an example) which does not have a “card” on the page. I assume that this top-level group is there just in case I want to add something like… overall averages maybe(?) for the entire ground floor in its own card? And if no items are assigned to that “card”, it simply does not display?
- Categories
A lot of what is here is very… European. And that’s fine. It would be nice to add some Americanized versions of a few things, however. And a few totally missing category types. I can make suggestions? Or, when I get ambitious, I can pull the code and add them myself?
Note that Symantics have just about everything. But the same things don’t have equivilents in Categories.
In North America, we have Basements - not Cellars. Just be nice to have the term added pointing to the same place as cellar.
We have something known (by a few names, but in particular) as a Sunroom. A porch with windows. Kind of a progression of Patio > Porch (has a roof) > Screen Porch (well… has screens) > and Sunroom (fully enclosed, but not totally weathertight like the house). There is nothing in categories for this, hence no usable picture.
Garden > Yard. It would be nice to have the category Yard which points to the same thing as Garden.
It would be nice to have a category that includes a 1 story house picture. “Main Floor” would be the only floor, and Basement would be… well, the cellar.
We have a lot of houses with “Sheds”. Small outside in the yard (garden?) storage building. “Not a Greenhouse”. Would be nice to have this added overall.
- Security, Cameras (outdoor), motion sensors, doorbells.
This will be general questions which are certainly now best asked elsewhere.
