ALTUI : New Features Suggestions

amg0 · January 7, 2017, 9:49pm

understood. In ALTUI settings there is a set of menu drop down to help select the default opening url. Custom Pages is one of them
Once user made its choice, it sets a ALTUI device variable called “LocalHome”

I have put in github a new beta version which opens this “LocalHome” page when you click on the breadcrumb home. so, this way, you have to prepare your localHome to open on the custom page and it then, any click on “home” on breadcrumb will open this page

Hi Amg0,

is it possible to have a smaller lettertype in the device name? I have a lot of names starting with e.g. “Lamp” and then a small or larger word. But all devices now have the same name “Lamp” because the rest is not showing up in the interface.

a bit tricky with all devices ( small, big screens ) etc. the size seems optimal on all but you can chagne it, however it requires you use the custom css capability and declare a css rule to put your preference

The 2 property you can adjust are :

[code].altui-device-title {
height: 28px;
}

.panel-title {
font-size: 16px;
}[/code]

Can you please add support for the Countdown timer addon?
It would be nice to be able to control all the features from AltUI!

Its the mute/unmute buttons I use most, is it possible to add them too?

I use countdown timers for my motion activated lights and my wakeup light and use the mute button to disable any of them when I need to.

You are so fast at adding requests!

Works fine if I go to devices, but on the AltUI home dashboard it still is just a picture of a time glass.

the favorite screen is meant to be view and just one click action. ( no button or complex UI ). what would be the one click action you d think would be the most useful ?
otherwise, clicking on it brings you to the control panel where you have all possible actions

In my Vera home Dashboard, I keep the devices I manage the most. So it would be handy to be able to mute/unmute the CT if its possible (start/stop etc is done by scenes in my case).
It would also be nice to see if it is counting down and how much time there are left.
(but dont spend too much time on this if you have better things to do, this was just some things I thought could improve AltUI)

You are the best!

Another thing I just thought of is if it is possible to make transition link conditions show if they are true or false at the moment in the edit menu. That would really help when you try to figure out why a transition isn’t doing what you think it should

amg0 · January 23, 2017, 7:06am

unfortunately seems not possible. transitions are only evaluated when needed ( meaning when a new state becomes active ) and as soon as one matches, the move to the new state is done so things are really too transient and fast to be able to display this in the UI

Hi amg0

I really love your UI. It does all of the things Vera UI7 doesn’t. However, I was hoping you would support the blue iris plugin. I see some discussion about it in the MCV forum but I don’t see any resolution or full discussion of the steps to integrate and get streaming video. Thanks in advance for your help,

Z

I do not have such a thing and am not familiar with it. so probably would need the help of a developper who has it and is willing to work on a ALTUI plugin, I can assist
