UI7 Dashboard - Lights Shortcut

Other Devices & Integrations Lighting & Load Control
1

On my Vera edge - on the dashboard - there is the shortcut for lights.

This contains all my dimmable lights which is fine - however I have a MCO 4 way switch which does not appear here - it appears under ON/OFF switch

The advanced tab says they are using the BinaryLight implementation file and JSON

Is there anyway to include these in the shortcut for lights so I can click all off from the dashboard?

Cheers

It would be nice if it was possible for users to choose what shows up on the lights shortcut, as long as it is an on/off device. I’m controling several lights with on/off switches (from Fibaro). The only “light switch” I see on my shortcut is a Fibaro plug adapter that is in fact controlling a light, but it could control something else and in that case would make no sense being in the “lights shortcut”.

I ended up creating 4 scenes: 2 to turn all lights on and off, and 2 other to turn wall sockets on/off (those sockets control tv sets, hi-fi equipment, etc).

My 2 cents as a Vera Edge newbie :slight_smile:

I had MCV modify my system after which all the lights appeared on the shortcut. Unfortunately this messed up other things and I had to restore back to previous. Gave up on the dashboard long ago.

Another half feature? The good intent is in the name - “all off” (lighting). Unfortunately not all my lights are dimmable - like others I use several switches. The fact that Vera recognises this itself by allocating the light icon leads me to believe that this should not be that difficult to do?

@MCV - please make this user configurable - I’m sure there are users who should want to exclude a light from all-off as well as those of us that would like to see the ability to include whatever device be it light or otherwise.

As a potential workaround, You can try altui plugin to have some more configuration options and custom dashboards MiOS Apps
