Hi @elcosomalo
@cd-tronic is currently working on the fix for the colorpicker.

Maybe in the next Beta release, but will be definitely part of the next major app release (Milestone 2021.2).

Hi @elcosomalo,

i just created a PullRequest with an working implementation of the color widget.
The Color selection is directly in Widget Area what makes it a bit small. I could do this in a PopUp style like it is in the Android App.
Feel free to give me some feedback as soon as a Version containing the colorwidget stuff is available.

Regards

Hi @elcosomalo, @cd-tronic,

The PR is merged and the new update for the Beta App is under certification in the MS Store and will be hopefully available in a few hours.

I suppose the only thing left to do is fix the cards to allow the text to be displayed correctly.

Then just some ideas… cosmetic only, not important:

  • remove the background image, maybe leaving it solid gray (light) or dark gray (dark mode)
  • color picker could be like in the android app as mentioned above by cd-tronic

Great work guys! and thanks!

Hi guys! I’ve updated OH3 to 3.1.0.M5 and the beta app for windows stopped working. It shows the error “Not able to parse runtime verion from openHAB server”.
Can you do anything about that?
