Let me enhance this request to any sensor type widget. For example, I might have a sensor that shows me the general state of my garage. Green means everything is closed up and the lights are off. Yellow means the lights are on, and the doors may be open, but someone is home. Red means that the doors are open and no one is home. I would like to be able to click on the sensor and have it take me to my garage page. Yes, I could probably do that with a navigation widget today. But let’s say it’s a numeric value like the temperature or something and I want it to take me to the HVAC controls or something. A popup would be nice, but sometimes you might want to actually go to another dashboard.
I’m seeing the same “There is no current event loop in thread 'Thread-12'.” errors that other people are seeing. I’m seeing this following both the Docker instructions and the pip instructions.
The tracebacks are effectively identical:

Here is how I would see it being useful. Given the layout below. Yes Excel has uses in Home Automation.
We’ve already talked about the weather iframe being able to be clicked on to take me to my weather web page of choice (maybe to a local TV station, or to an outdoor camera somewhere, etc). But for things like the Doors, or Covers, I don’t want to open or close them from the page I am designing, but clicking on them should take me to a page where I might have a camera pointed at the door, and could open/close it from there. Think of it as a drill down, with more information that you would typically want with a popup.
Ubuntu 17.04, so Python 3.5 for the pip installation and Docker 1.12.6; I’ve just tested Python 3.4 for the pip installation as well, which has the same result.
I just tried something that I figured wouldn’t work, and it gave me a strange message that makes me think it might actually work. What I want to do is put a two cell margin on the left of my display so I’m using the following.
- spacer(2x7)
- include: header
- bla bla bla
It works fine, but it puts a blank line associated with spacer line at the top. So I tried
- spacer(2x7), include: header
This gave me the following message in the browser and in the message log.
‘include’: {‘spacer(2x7), include’: ‘header’}
I tried putting that in and got a big dump in the log.
Thank you! downgrading aiohttp fixed it also for me. I’m happy that i can play with the dashboard again. Was starting to miss it
Thanks again for the great work!
oke, for those who are interested in grouping/nesting widgets.
i tested this and it works!!
the only problem is that some skin give scrollbars. (probably because of shadows)
you can use iframe to place groups anywhere in your dash.
you can even use different skins for different groups.
