[quote=“amg0, post:280, topic:188330”][quote=“xben007, post:279, topic:188330”]Hi !

Re-ordering favorite tiles is a great feature. However, on my smarthphone (android 5.0, firefox, 4’ display), scrolling the page often results in unwanted drag and drop/re-ordering of the tiles. I ended up switching on the siren instead of disabling my alarm mode a couple of times already.

Could it be possible to add an option / button to lock positions ?

Not a big deal of course. Whatever the answer, thanks a lot for ALTUI, most useful vera plugin ever !![/quote]
in next release[/quote]

Thanks a lot, perfect experience now even on cheap smartphone !

Is it possible to add buttons to the ACE editor windows which will scroll to the top / bottom of the document and, perhaps, also up and down a page?

When in the workflow report screen, add a return to editor button or better open the report in another screen like for import/export please.

possibility to upload files for plugins/devices

pls90 · August 10, 2016, 1:04pm

in workflows, when defining a transition, possibility to actually use a earlier defined transition several times as “one exact same object”, not only a clone of an other transition. This would speed up necessary changes within a workflow that uses the same transition several times (change only in one place).
possibility to build a library with user defined workflows through means of uploading to some kind of “workflow store”.
Then after downloading an interesting workflow, offer the possibility to exchange the original devices etc. from the original workflow to actual devices in the users setup (e.g. “motion sensor gallery” as in uploader’s setup will be changed to local user’s device “motion kitchen” on every occurrence within the workflow, some equivalent to “search and replace” in a document). Could be done with 2 drop down lists side by side, in the left one the original device, in the right one all local user devices.

in the footer always display mem usage and cpu load
maybe somthing like this

AltUI v1.60.1810, mem 14MB, cpu 6%, Sun Jul 29 2018

Hopefully the August break is going well =).

A few people have mentioned the emoncms integration could use a few tweaks, summarizing and adding a few things:

[ul][li]the API key should be global, either in the options menu and have the item removed from the variables window or pre-populate it[/li]
[li]data does not get published until a valid FEED ID is added. However, a valid FEED ID cant be generated until data is uploaded. Thus you need to put in bogus feed first to point to. This dependency should be removed[/li]
[li]a way to bulk edit the values in a table would be very helpful (not bulk change but on a single page). This way the FEED IDs can be added, and its easy to validate if everything is correct.[/li]
[li]a way to bulk add variables of a certain type. I.e. add all Watt variables for the energy service. If combined with the editor above, the corresponding values could be filled in after the placeholders were created.[/li][/ul]

Thanks!

Recommend being able to sort status devices by “tripped time”, instead of only by name. I would welcome other “sort” capabilities as well, but this is the one that would really help me.

Hi omg, the is so much information about the wonderfull altui. It might be the question has been asked before, my excuse if it’s a double one.

Is it possible to directly open the altui interface via a quick url?
Eg. For datamine i can easily access http://veraip/dm. But every time i want to open altui i have to jump to favorites for the longer url or open via the device in vera.

Is it possible to add that?

Thank you.

No problem, It is there. Documented in the read me
With URL parameters You can

open a specific page
open a specific custom panel
open a specific custom panel I lean mode ( meaning without the frame and menu of altUI )
force a language

If the URL is too long to your taste you can save it as a favorite and on iOS or android you can s create an icon to it. For instance on iOS , once open click the share button, the save on home page and it will create an icon that looks like another iOS app.

Workflow suggestions (I haven’t read all 20 pages in this thread so I’m sorry in advance if I copied someones idea):

Linked clones - Today its possible to create a clone of a transition, but if you change the original transition the clones don’t change. I would like an option to make a linked clone (or whatever name you may come up with), that always is an exact copy if the original. This would be great for both states and transitions. Maybe a difference in color to visualize which is which.
Timers on workflow overview - On the workflow main page, if a workflow is on a state with a timer transition, it would be very nice if the countdown would show on the workflow overview.

Amg, looked in to it. But how? Lets say I would like to have http://veraip/altui to bring me to the home page of altui… how would I do that?

amg0 · October 7, 2016, 4:58pm

You cannot or at least I do not know how
Sorry

Hmz that was my question at first :-).

It works for datamine… http://veraip/dm

akbooer · October 7, 2016, 7:07pm

You can do it if you’re happy to type “veraIP/altui.html”

Simply create the file /www/altui.html containing this redirect:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <!-- HTML meta refresh URL redirection -->
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=/port_3480/data_request?id=lr_ALTUI_Handler&command=home#">
  </head>
</html>
