The HABpanel excited me from the first moment on! Great job and congratulations to all supporters!!
For all my items I could not find one widget, that displays the items plus values of one group. I also wanted to offer to change all of them at once and I wanted to have more transparancy in my heating and rollershutters etc etc.
The side condition was: No global css - everything should run out of the box.
So I started to work on this widget.
Please find attached the possibilities how to use this widget in the picture, plus the widget itself.
… it is still under construction, but I wanted to share this status.
I was wanting to edit the MultiState widget to customise it a bit… But I can’t find where it lives on my system.
Currently using 2.3.0-snapshot and have installed it via the Custom Widgets feature on HABpanel… Where does the json code get stored on the filesystem to edit?
Oh… And what did you use to edit this? A single 10kB line to edit is a bit much for me… I need my code to be formatted for readability… I’m too old to try & code on a single line.
Not that I can’t do that, but I was hoping there was something magic that I was missing, because otherwise any updates fed back to git are going to be quite a large diff (i.e. change 1 char, get a 10kB unreadable diff all on one line)
*.widget.json files are only for exporting/importing purposes, it’s not recommended to edit them.
After importing it use the code editor embedded in HABPanel.
Right… I didn’t know about the built-in editor… Thanks for that. Sometimes it take a small blunt instrument.
But my original point was all the code on one line. Meaning a small change is a large diff. Easy to read in the built-in editor. But not easy to read out of it. (Not a complaint, just an observation)
Sure, no worries.
No multi-line strings in JSON is a problem in this case indeed; there are a number of hackish workaounds like https://www.gun.io/blog/multi-line-strings-in-json but none are ideal unfortunately.
"If a second value shall be displayed as a reference, the name variable must be identical plus the value. E.g. Temp1 and Temp1_soll by naming “_soll” "
The trick is in the variable name itself.
Your need the
Number Temp1
and
Number Temp1_soll
By adding the “_soll” into the field, the Temp1_soll is automatically found and displayed in parallel to the Temp1.
I like this widget and its working in principle for me. However one question . On your initial pictures in this post you do have illustrated nice little “green” boxed with white text as information for “ON” .
I Do use “Open” and “Closed” as mappings in my sitemap. How can I configure that I do get this color separation too? At the moment its just showing the “Text”
