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,

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[/quote]
Amg0 –
Thanks for your fast response. See for information on the blue iris plugin:
wow, 42 pages of topic and I do not have this solution myself. seems not practical; what is exactly the issue ? have you installed the plugin and it is not working ? can you share screen shot ? javascript console log ?
Is there any future consideration for the Favorites page to allow grouping by other means than alphabetical? Perhaps I could list the names in order I would like to see them.

Order on favorite page can be changed by drag and drop, is it not? Did you select the option that prevents drag and drop ?

Hmm, I do not have the option checked for Lock favorites position. I have tried repeatedly in various areas of the device box on the favorites listing to drag and drop. All it does is try to grab text or tries to grab it like it is a full picture and doesn’t do anything.
I have the latest stable Chrome and the jet black theme installed. So maybe I’m doing it wrong.

I am out of town for a couple of days so will check when I am back but not aware of issue in that area. make sure you start the drag and drop with your mouse from an empty area of the box. also check the javascript console log, maybe there is a crash hapenning that we can see here

Thanks amg0. I checked the console, attempted every known way to drag the items, experimented with locking/unlocking option for this but it did not work. There was nothing in the console but an error about an icon for another plugin.
I think it has to be user error but I just can’t figure it out.
I am back home, tested again and I cannot find any issue with the drag and drop. make sure you click in an empty area of the tile and maintain the mouse button down while you move the tile. not sure what else to suggest here, hope it ll work
Thanks amg0. Here is my evidence so if it is user error I apologize but please let me know.
Chrome version 56.
Jet black theme
Screenshot of console log
Picture of grabbing empty space results in dragging text.
picture showing setting of locking favorites.
I can grab it where it looks like its grabbing the page as a picture, you can see the shading.[/quote]
Now i see
There is no drag and drop on that page
The drag and drop is for the favorite page ( i.e. Default home page or the page you get when you click on the altui icons and which shows a tile for the devices you marked as favorites.)

I see, understood now. My apologies. I guess back to the original question, with all the filtering available on the favorites I am looking at, can that be arranged differently?
I noticed the filter only filters one device. Can you do comma or semi-colon values? Or arrange by name or some other method than alphabetical for that page I’m looking at?

that page is already very complex and I am hiting some performance limits with it so forcing an order of device display is not really possible. however I have put in github GitHub - amg0/ALTUI: Enhancement Interface for VERA home automation system a beta version which supports writing javascript pattern expression in the filter name
you do need to know javascript pattern expression ( which is not that user friendly ) however it is not too dificult. example you want to display all devices whose name starts with iPhone you could use
iPhone.*
(. means any character and * is a multiplier flag which means any number of time 0 or n )
you want to display name starts with iPhone or with Lamp you can use the | (or operator) and use something like

Thanks, I am a tinkerer I’ll take a look. Appreciate your time and responses.
Suggestion for the workflows: allow some arbitrary text to be stored with states and transitions. Below was clear when I originally wrote it, but now a few months later it isn’t trivial to remember what it means.
(new == "1") and (luup.variable_get("urn:rts-services-com:serviceId:DayTime", "Status", 30)=="0") and (luup.attr_get("Mode",0) ~= "2")
It would be nice to have some text that says: “transitions when motion, night, and not away mode”

you can try version in GitHub - amg0/ALTUI: Enhancement Interface for VERA home automation system, it includes ability to use the ACE editor to edit a transition expression and to add , in the first lines , some comments ( preceeded by – like in LUA ). They also appear in the workflow report
cf screen shot
If you clone of a state in workflows, it seems that all settings from the original have been copied. But if you go edit there is no preset actions.
If you edit a setting and save, all other ghost settings disappear.
Nothing critical, but it makes the clone option less useful if I have to make all settings again.
To replicate:
Create a new state.
Edit state.
Rename state to same as existing state.
Edit actions in this new clone. (they are blank as if they where new)
To re-use and easier draw temperature in custom plugins, this seems like a good candidate for a helper method:
var ws = MultiBox.getWeatherSettings();
if (ws.tempFormat==undefined)
ws.tempFormat="";
var status = parseFloat(MultiBox.getStatus( device, 'urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1', 'CurrentTemperature' ));
return status+"°"+ws.tempFormat;

On the More > Watch Display lines, would it be possible to add the Data Storage Provider being used for each of the entries (visible in the header line even when the plot is collapsed) ?
Also, for registered providers which don’t supply a Graphic URL parameter, the plot display currently shows
file not found:no%20url
…could that be changed to something like “no graphic” in a more suitably sized (ie. not so tall) window ?
This is because I’m now using a variety of Data Storage Providers, including data mirroring to remote Veras (in which case, they don’t return a graphic.)
