Dashboard updates 0.7.2

Hi everyone,

We have new features on the dashboard and also a couple on the way.

Now you can create your own dynamic dashboards easily with the new dynamic tile feature:

Dynamic tile is basically a container where it displays “ALL” your devices and it grows automatically as you add new devices to your system. With the latest updates, you can now customize these “Dynamic Tiles” whereby you can choose to “hide”, “Swap” or “Change Size” of these tiles and simply save them with a different name to create your own “Dynamic Tile”… Then the only thing you have to do is to create a “Dashboard” with the “Dynamic Tile” you saved and now you have beautiful Dashboard as per your customization.

So lets say, if you create a dynamic tile for your camera devices, and you add a new camera to your controller, it will automatically show up !

Lets go through an example of all these customizations available:

1. First open the menu and go to tile creation

.

2. Select “Dynamic Tile” from the options

You will see same tiles for the default dynamic dashboard. And now you can configure them !

.
3) Click on the 3 dots menu icon and we have configuration options …

You can see your device name
You can adjust the tile size
You can swap the tile design with another device tile
You can hide/show the tile from your dashboard.

Changing a tile size :

You can apply this size change either for the specific device or for entire same category of devices

.
Swapping a tile

You can select from different public (shared by the community) or from your own device tiles and apply the change to either the specific device or the entire same category of devices

New designs on the way !
Our team is now working on providing different tile designs and will provide soon

.
Hiding a tile

When you hide the tile, it no longer shows up on the dashboard, but you can bring it back any time you want.

Also On the left part, you can filter your devices per room, category or per controller:

I created one dynamic tile which shows only the devices I assigned to “Living Room”.

You can now save your dynamic tile and use them inside a new/existing dashboard to create your own dynamic dashboard ! Just create a new dashboard and drag&drop your dynamic tile to a grid cell.

.
Now you can display your own dynamic dashboard !!

Note that I have 3 room instances for each room in the Dynamic Tile designer.

For example I have 3 rooms called “Lounge”.

One from the Ezlo Plus, one from the Vera Plus and one from the Vera Edge controllers etc.

Selecting a room from a Vera firmware hub results in no devices being displayed in the central designer area.

Only the Ezlo Plus controller is listed at the bottom however under “Controllers”, so I assume this is a bug.

I created a Dynamic Tile and Dashboard page for my “Lounge” room with the devices off the Ezlo Plus controller.

I take it we do not have RGBW Light tiles yet ? I have no colour controls for my RGBW lights.

Also we have no Blinds / Curtains tiles for Roller Shutter modules.

And is it possible to add a tile / “device” on this Dynamic Tile page to run an Ezlo scene / rule?

Thanks

@cw-kid

We currently do not have RGB tile and Blinds tile yet. But shortly we will provide.
Meanwhile you can create a dashbaord with 2 cells and put the dynamic tile into one , and use another tile on the other cell.
