New web GUI?

[voltier]

Heard we are getting a new web GUI by the end of July - wondering how this is tracking?

[Tillsy]

Last I heard they have no interest in revamping the web GUI, in fact they consider the web dead.

That said, it really only needs a few tweaks to make it look tremendously better - there are only a few small aspects give it that 90s feel.

I know we complain about the "look" of the current UI but in comparison with other systems.... it's great. No other system provides as much details, status, control of devices in an upfront manner. The ability to easily click a device and change the properties, icons, z-wave properties.

Just saying the features/functions that are provided by the current UI are far beyond what other systems provide so I can forego the old styling.

The most annoying feature of the current Device page is the fact that it will not scroll back to the device you were working on when you hit "Done"(it always returns to the top of the Device page). Often when I am working on setting up a device, I make several returns to the Device page and it always lands at the top and I must manually scroll down to the device I am working on. Am I the only one with this issue?

I would'nt qualify this an ''issue'', that's seems more a dev choice, and/or a user preference. But yes same here.

Yes... I've also wished that it would go back to where I was prior to getting into the details of the device.

The current web interface is OK although it could stand to be freshen up a bit.

• I'd like to see sone actual sort fields so you could sort hierarchical sort on the fields of ones choosing.
• The above mention return to the device one was working on when pressing done.
• More user web pages as three is just not enough. I'd like to see at least double that.
• Fix the Z-Wave Action status screen so you can scroll back without it jumping to the end every time.

Those are the one that jump out at me.

Fix the Z-Wave Action status screen so you can scroll back without it jumping to the end every time.

Oh my gosh that is so insanely annoying, and depending what you are trying to do actually renders it unusable

Easy workaround in windows: Right click on the device details link and click "open link in new tab". Make your changes, hit save and then close that tab. Voila, you're back where you started without the need to scroll back down and find the device again. The original tab won't reflect the changes you just made, but it's still better than doing all that scrolling.

I guess I never noticed this quirk as I do 99% of everything in a new tab....

This must be a programmer's trait. A guy I used to work with would have 100 tabs and a dozen windows open sometimes (on 2 monitors) and be jumping around between them all using Ctrl+Tab or Alt+Tab. Drove me crazy when he started trying to show me something on his screen and suddenly he couldn't find the right tab because his concentration was broken. lol

That'S what i do . Non programmer too lol

...or just crtl -f to find it

I couldn't survive with less than 2 monitors... 2 even seems too few most of the time.

Sorry but what/where is the Z-Wave Action Status screen?

I really wish they would fix the existing bugs before doing any interface changes.
