HSBuddy feature requests

Push notifications stopped working


I've updated to the latest version; that didn't fix it - I'm unsure how to diagnose, looking for ideas.

Hi,
I found HSBuddy while trying to get some form of location / geofencing setup working - it appears now to be the the only supported location tool for homeseer!

It looks generally great as an overall interface app as well, but I've not had a good look at that side yet.


Request: Is it possible to put the name of a geofence entry in to a device? eg. so a single device text or attribute can be set "Home", "Work", "Shop", "Parents", "Unknown" ect. by a single event, when the location changes in or out of a fence? That would be great for use on home touchscreens, to know where people are.

Also, making it possible to store the raw location data lat/long etc. as well could be very useful to allow expansion by other plugins?

Thanks, Robert.

I like the new widget with last change stamp, would it be possible to have the time in military format? My phone is set to it but the app uses AM/PM.

HSBuddy is great! I would really like to be able to create dashboards, etc. from my laptop (as opposed to just my phone or tablet). For me, it is much more efficient to make dashboards this way.

Size of icons:
I noticed when selecting "icons only" , you can have bigger or smaller icons with resizing the widget. When selecting for example " device name" the icons are a set size. It is possible to make it resizable as well?

Text in the widget:
Would it be possible to change the place of the text on top or below the icon?
My preference would be to have big Icons and below or above the icon a small text/device name.

Thanks,
Cor

I think you can achieve the layout you want by adding multiple 'information' widgets for the same device - one with 'icon only' and other with 'no icon'. Then you can group them together so they appear as a single widget. This should give you more information on how to do this: http://hsbuddy.avglabs.net/pages/das...ng-with-groups

avargaskun : thank you , that works well!

A WAF thingy >feedback: My wife mentioned ( and I noticed as well) that when on the dashboard a button is pressed (I only uses icons, which toggles the switch) there is no confirmation/feedback. The confirmation comes from homeseer when the relays actually toggles, which takes a moment.

What happens is that for example the garage needs to open , the button is pressed , but since it takes a moment for the zwave relais to actually toggle and there is no immediate feedback, she presses it again, where the garage door now only partially opens.

Is it possible in the app to have a kind of feedback, maybe a circle/bloom or vibrate when a button is toggled.

Thanks, Cor

Are we able to add the values from 2 controls into one widget yet?

There is a way to create a 'group' widget - the combination of 2+ widgets that display as if it was a single widget. What kind of visual result do you have in mind?

Present a Total (Sum) Value

Present a Total (Sum) Value

That isn't possible with HSBuddy yet. For the time being, there's a possible workaround using the EasyTrigger plugin from spud - this can be accomplished using a virtual device, a device group and an event. For example, an event to add the kwH measurement from multiple devices would look something like this:



Then in HSBuddy a widget for the virtual device can be addd to the dashboard and it will handle value updates like other devices. Fwiw, the EasyTrigger plugin supports much more than just the scenario described above, I use it extensibly on my own HS server.

Very cool solution. Thank You. I really didn't want to increase the complexities of HS if at all possible.

Would it be possible to add this functionality to HS Buddy in the future? I use a lot of totals in ImperiHome.

Hey folks,

Starting a thread to capture your ideas of new features that could be built into HSBuddy (either the app or the server plug-in). I know you have previously sent me some via the app built-in bug report tool, or through private messages in the board. I'm hoping that this thread will be a more permanent place to keep track of those ideas.

To start, let me seed the list with the ones in the top of my backlog:

• User-defined dashboards of devices
• Add support to connect to multiple servers
• Controlling timers and counters from their device details page
• Showing device history as a graph
• Implement user validation, require special user rights to access certain plug-in functionality

If you have other ideas or if you want to add details on how any of the ideas above should be implemented, feel free to post below. Thank you for giving the app a try, thank you for leaving a review (if you like it) and sending your bug reports (if you don't).

Hi, how about adding a device (ZWAVE..whatever) via the QR code on it? Thx

[gelessor]

Any chance you could add a function to a button press that would change to a different named dashboard??

I have a dashboard to run events as part of my home theater setup.
the dashboards are Home Theater, Cable TV, Kodi, PLEX, DVD, Lighting, etc.

It would be great if when I pressed the “Watch TV” button on the “Home Theater” dashboard it would not only run the associated event, but also switch to the “Cable TV” dashboard. Or when I pressed the DVD button it would automatically switch the the “DVD” dashboard that has the DVD player controls.

is something like this possible?
