New web GUI?

[Timon]

I don't know where one gets the idea that the WEB is dead because for development I see it being very much alive. I sure hope that HS4 arrives is not going to have to require a mobile device to do development. That would be one of the worst design decisions that anyone could make. The development side has to stay web either web based where we have better tools, screen sizes and the ability to use any web browser to access the development tools. Trying to develop on a touch based device like phone or tablet would be a total disaster.

Except that even when finished if you try scrolling up it instantly bounces to the bottom. It is unusable for seeing anything other than live information as you can't actually read anything that has scrolled by due to this quirk.

Everything is also in the log. I keep the log window open as well to review. But if it's a bug it's a bug I've just never noticed/cared due to the way I operate things I suppose.

That's an active "tail" window. It will scroll as long as there's activity. Once the task is complete the messages stay until you "close" the task.

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.

Thanks, Barry, I will try that.

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

It show up when you perform actions, such as optimize, from the Z-Wave plugin.

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

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

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

That'S what i do . Non programmer too lol

...or just crtl -f to find it

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

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?

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

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.
