HABPanel Widget Gallery

[ysc (Yannick Schaus)]

Thanks! I’d appreciate it if this thread could stay on-topic though, but here you go:

Why is it not possible in HABpanel to view the widget(s) in editor mode, instead of the black anonymous squares?

Mostly historical reasons, but also technical and practical ones. Among other things the widget is likely to break until it has been properly configured (e.g. assigned an item).

It would be really cool if you could resize widgets to better fit your dashboard.

You have an “experimental” dashboard option in the Advanced tab to change the number of columns in the grid from the default (12).

Where can you see the version of HABpanel you’re using? Is it automatically updated like some sort of add-on to OpenHAB when there’s a new version in GitHub?

It’s part of the distribution and the latest version at the time of build is included. You can also update manually.

Edit: there is now a comprehensive documentation on HABPanel in the official openHAB docs:
