Side note, is this OH 3? Maybe I should migrate sooner…strikes me as it implemented a lot of things that Home Assistant had that were good (the graphing on each item - unless that’s be specifically set up)
Thanks, I didn’t know about (or never checked out) that page.
How did it get populated like that, is there a source code for that demo page? If that was the default “out of the box”, I must have erased it on mine at some point. Sorry if these questions seem so basic. UI is my achilles heel
And of course there are your pages worth of tutorial in the Getting Started Tutorial and lots of reference guide docs as well under the UI section of the docs.
I need to relearn how to take those snazzy animated gif screenshots.
Note, if you upgrade a 2.x instance to OH 3 you might not have this set up by default as your previous settings will remain. But out of the box without previous configs it is configured to save and chart everything that can be charted by default.
Definitely go through the Getting Started Tutorial, even if you think you know all there is to know about OH 2.x OH 3 has a lot of new stuff and a lot of new ways one can interact and set up OH (note you can still do everything the same as you’ve always done in OH 2 if you want, nothing new in OH 3 is required).
Some of the bigger things that are new:
Marketplace with rule templates, UI widgets and third party add-ons that can be installed like any official OH add-on
Blockly for graphically creating rules
The semantic model for organizing your rules and automatically generating much of the Overview page.
I’ve been wondering ever, too. I think settings to Home apply to stuff like the tabs at the bottom and stuff that is displayed when you browse there. But it’s unclear how that relates to the Overview page (which by any naive user like myself’s understanding is the very same page).
The “Home Page” is not a real page.
It is the settings, where you can adjust your standard view, like visibility of your “Model” tabs like: location, equipment, property.
Yes? I would be surprised, but could be.
When you are not happy with naming on your installation you can easily rename both ‘sites’ when editing the text behind “label” on the codes tab.
So for me it looks like this now:
If I recall correctly, the Home Screen “Home” entry will only appear if you’ve click the pencil and made some edits to the configuration (e.g. added dividers between cards on the Locations tag, hidden the Equipment tag, etc.).
I’m not sure you can. Once it’s been customized, even if you set the settings back to default it’s still customized. Maybe if you open the code view and delete everything that will set it back to the default. though that is equally as likely to completely break everything so I’d just live with that entry in the Pages settings.
The global idea is to have 1 overview with the status of all equipment.
One day (I say this for years now ), I’ll have a wall tablet to have a good idea about the house.
Backgroundcolors should be all white. If a color change, something is ‘off’.
Most widgets are clickable, with the details or action behind.
My current setup is:
Line 1: House modus, alarm, lights, entries, outlets
Line 2: Time, astro, next garbage pickup, front door
Line 3: Temperature, air, noise, humidity, electricty, water, gas
Line 3: Fauna&Flora (plant, garden, aquarium…), Household (vacuum, washing machine…), Transport (car status), Scenario (lights, sound…), Settings
Not really, it would be an headache to deal with the existing.
It’s not that complicated really:
the Home Page uid: home is to configure the home page as a whole (it is a special type of page, oh-home-page that only that page can use). It is not created until you save it once in the editor (otherwise it will use defaults).
the Overview page uid: overview is a standard oh-layout-page that is rendered in the first tab of the home page. It is created automatically by the setup wizard and cannot be deleted afterwards.
But I agree there could be a shortcut to edit the Overview page quickly from the home page itself, rather than having to go to Settings > Pages and finding it.
