Web page builder for Homeseer 3 & Homeseer 4

No, the only way would be a separate ini file.

Just to let you know that I have just started work on a new version for HS3.

It sounds very interesting, but I can't find any info - where to download and how to use it?

Many thanks indeed for the donation!

The script loops through the ini file to create the page, therefore you cannot use CSS to alter the layout.

JSON usage

I can make the following line control the device off & on by using it in a URL but having an issue making it work when in the .ini file.

JSON?request=controldevicebyvalue&ref=541&value=0

The best I can tell is that it needs to be in the .ini file somewhere. I have tried locating it multiple places in the ini with no success.

JSON2=/JSON?request=controldevicebyvalue&ref=541&value=0

This creates the button fine but there is no joy.
Column1Section1-1Right=[button,OFF,JSON2]

Someone push me in the right direction?

[jon00]

Under the [Buttons] heading, just set:

JSON2=/JSON?request=controldevicebyvalue&ref=541&value=0

Make sure there are no duplicate JSON2 entries.

Thanks for the quick reply... Should have looked @ qv.ini

[Monk]

GAR! Or in the doc for that matter. Looking everywhere but there....

No, the only way would be a separate ini file.

I have noticed that if I simply remove the first instance of "Right" content, that all remaining "right" content in a column is not displayed.

example:
Column1Section2-1Left=Office
Column1Section2-1Middle=[Device,232]
Column1Section2-1Right=
Column1Section2-1Height=
Column1Section2-2Left=Living Room
Column1Section2-2Middle=[Device,234]
Column1Section2-2Right=[devicelastchange,"Zone026"]
Column1Section2-2Height=
Column1Section2-3Left=Master Bath
Column1Section2-3Middle=[Device,290]
Column1Section2-3Right=[devicelastchange,"FF91D923-038-Q33"]
Column1Section2-3Height=

So it has been easy to create a shortened version of a given ini by removing only the first instance.

Question - is this hurting/slowing anything down?

I am quite pleased to have made some quick-and-dirty groupings for display on phones!

[jon00]

Looks good!

Nothing is hurt leaving out a value. I can't say for sure what speed differences there may be but we are only talking about a few milliseconds.

Moved HS to W7 from W10. I thought everything was fine until I began testing one of the pages I built. It seems the buttons quit functioning. Everything else seems OK - Note that maybe it wasn't a result of the move so I started a blank INI with a simple off/on that used to work. Can't make this work. Can anyone see the obvious that I am missing?

Have you enabled JSON in the Homeseer settings?

[Monk]

Yes - I can manually enter the JSON commands in the web browser and it works.

Note that buttons in the example qv.ini work for URL's - still working with this
