Can you post your HS device status graphic screen for the just the device that allows you to control your player? Also, do you have a separate device for album artwork?

I have the sonos player installed and it installed a crazy number of devices, but it seems like only couple are important for actually being able to control playback. Looks like a media control tile will be just as hard, if not harder, than building the t-stat tile.

Below are all the devices created by the plugin. Also are the status graphic snapshots for the "status" and "remote".

I think a "Media" device controller type tile would help most of us..I have created a few tiles to show what is playing on a Kodi instance but would be nice to have a single larger tile with different controls on it with a larger thumbnail.

I have some virtual devices that have values and associated pics with them - they basically control radio stations and tv channels by different means. If the device changes, it triggers an event to change the station/channel to what is needed.

So, one device is 0-10, the other 0-40+. The standard device control is ok, but it's a bit tiresome to change to the correct channel - if you make a mistake and go one channel too far, you can end up having to press another 40+ times.

Could we have a device type that is similar to the format of the tstat, two tiles vertical or horizontal, status pic, with two buttons to go up/down the values please?

This is done in the the new build just posted.

Looking to integrate the itunes Daap plugin into this cleanly. Maybe a generic music control interface that could be assigned to the specific devices with a full tile for album artwork.

Device status pic is pulled direct from HS, would be good to have a larger tile with arrows and a bigger area for the pic.

Is the status icon associated with device status in HS or would you have 40+ custom status icons? That would make for some really ugly html if you had to manually define your own icons in home.html.

I'll add a delay parameter to the widget so you can override the default value--This is Done!

Thank you!

You are right in the 3 second wait is a little long for me I am more of a now kind of user I thought maybe it was a delay in the proxy server when I would activate lights, thermostat, etc.

So maybe the feature would be a "no delay tile" and a "3 sec tile"???

You don't have to configure multiple sites to the webpage tile. You can do a single site. So I'm assuming you're not liking the three second delay. But that's consistent behavior with all tiles and gives you a three second safety buffer to change your mind in case you accidentally tap the wrong tile.

Design polish & slick animations

Thermostat:

(Tapping on the tile turns the thermostat on to cool, then heat, and then finally back to off). The underline animation means the thermostat is working/loading)

Very nice. I haven't added any of the easing transitions in the CSS, but wouldn't be hard to do. I've got a few more tweaks to make and should have a new build out over the weekend.

Sputnik, those are pretty solid.

As for another feature request, from my post in the main thread, could we get a "webpage" tile for a single site as well as keep the multiple site tile?

For my purpose I will only have one webpage needed for each tile but I dont want to remove the multiple site tile if people are using it that way.

Thank you.
