Call me an idiot, I tried using the install.txt (which does seem to have far more detailed instructions than anything I can find in here, unless I'm missing something), and when I try to run 'npm' anything, I get an error that it doesn't exist. I also can't get the hsproxy service to start, error being 'The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error' etc. Any advice? the interface looks very cool, it's just all blank

The proxy not starting is usually a sign of trying to run node from a command prompt and not having admin privileges or your firewall is blocking the ports.

You can also check you have the correct refid for a given tile, and that your firewall/etc are stup, by entering the following into a browser on the machine you're running HSMetro interface on and checking you get data back from HS:
http://<HS IP Address>/JSON?request=getstatus&ref=<device refid>
Addition:
The proxy service (I believe) is only used for updating the tiles without the need for refreshing your browser. This is a separate issue we can look at once you have data populated into the tiles the first time you call up the page)

I have been using Chrome now since then.

I'm really looking for an alternative, hstouch is just too much hassle.
To install on Linux you'd create the HSMetro folder wherever the HS html folder is located and put all the files there. You would not need NSSM since it's a windows app used to create a windows service, but you would need to install NodeJS. The installers for various OS types can be found here: https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.2.3/
Once you get node installed, you can then run the NPM command to install Faye to the HSMetro folder. You need Faye for the proxy. Once Faye is installed,I'd start with a terminal instance of the proxy to make sure everything is running correctly. Once you get active updates in the UI via the proxy, then you can look to create some sort of auto start linux instance of the proxy. I'm not a regular Linux user so I'd have to google around for exactly how to do that.
The configuration steps are the same on both Windows and Linux so make sure you edit the appropriate files and make the required changes.

Got it working now, thanks !
Really liking this !
Few questions/suggestions:
- How do you span a button over multiple columns ? (e.g. first row has 3 button, second only 1)
- On my S6, N5 and N7 I have to refresh the page after going back to the browser before it works
- I'm noticing a delay of 1-2 seconds after turning a lamp on in the UI, is this normal ?
- Maybe its a good idea to put this on github or something, so others can join in ?Last edited by kriz83; December 8, 2015, 02:56 AM.
