The habpanel documentation here explains how to setup a dashboard from the GUI. Is there a programmatic way to setup the dashboard? For example, after openhab upgrade, I want to restore the habpanel configuration from file using the command line (instead of clicking buttons from habpanel GUI to im…

I have found 2 (don’t ask me why 2… maybe something is wrong with my setup… they have different file size also… i will compare them :slight_smile: ) /var/lib/openhab2/config/org/openhab/habpanel.config /var/lib/openhab2/config/org/openhab/ui/habpanel.config edit: this one seems to be the correct o…

I have these files too. Indeed, the file /var/lib/openhab2/config/org/openhab/habpanel.config contains the information, but in cryptic format (see note1 below). The habpanel was generated from a human readable json file that was imported via the GUI. For restore purposes, is there a way to feed th…

I think that the information “flow” is something like this: json->HABPanel import->Karaf HashMap? table → storage in habpanel.config if you look at the openHAB console: config:list "(service.pid=org.openhab.habpanel)" you will see the stored config. Maybe this config should be handled by the js…

Thanks for the explanation. @gersilex suggested here to access the json data directly. e.g. http://openhab:8080/static/habpanel/web/?config=http://my-central-storage/dashboards/livingroom.json6 This is more like what I’m thinking, so that the habpanel configuration can be restored automatically f…

[image] Avner: This is more like what I’m thinking, so that the habpanel configuration can be restored automatically from the human readable json file, but I don’t know if this is possible. aha! I got an idea :checkered_flag: … try to use the REST API… this may be able to do the job: http:/…

[image] Dim: I think in a template widget in HABPanel Ok, I was able to copy paste the code (e.g. Outdoor Dashboard) into the HABPanel GUI and save it into a new widget (named outdoorDashboard). When I export the configuration, I see the reference to “outdoorDashboard” in the exported habpan…

I started fresh. Imported habpanel from file (habpanel-config.json) I added a widget (via Custom Widgets → Manage → New Widget, and pasted the code in the “Code” pane) the went back to the dashboard, added the widget and saved. Then from “Settings → Local panel configuration Editor”, exported int…

[image] Avner: so that after e.g. an upgrade openhab keeps the original configuration. openHAB always keeps the original configuration (if done through the official docs), no need to use any scripts. Unfortunately HABPanel does not keep server side settings in /userdata, but in the file ment…
