Actually no; iframes just display what you give them. Without a lot of CSS, they don’t naturally resize the content to fit.

142

If you use the img variant instead of url it appears to do the resize for you, but it has to be a valid image type.

143

Do you have to add the google resizer as a prefix to the URL or is that now built in?

144

I have a camera coming tomorrow (unless Stella messes up the delivery timeframe)…Planned on using zoneminder (its an indoor foscam) unless there is a better option for use with HA.

Which server do I install on or does it matter? HA is on one server ADWeb is on another… I would like to be able to get to both.

146

you can do either but I have found it to be unnecessary when I moved to the img variant, so I stopped using it.

It is a standard 64bit ubuntu install, no virtual anything.
What am I overlooking?

Not sure, that is a weird one. Does it run OK from the command line?

149

Are you running it from github or did you install the full thing?

Someone mentioned cover icons - these ones are nice, and MIT licensed

Widget request/question. I have a case where I have some Harmony remote modes, HASS tracks them as an input_select. In Dashboard I’m using a mode widget. Each input_select option has a widget, with the intention of that widget being a toggle. If it’s not in that state, switch to it. If it is already in that state (lit), it would act as the PowerOff option. So there’s some scripts setup to handle that toggle, the scripts are listed on each widget

It works great to turn “on” that option, but it doesn’t fire to turn it “off”. Can I petition to add this into mode.yaml next release so it acts as a toggle, or maybe a split script_on/script_off thing is needed in case people want different scripts? This mod works great for my needs (now more like a toggle). Or maybe there’s another way to go about doing this!

post_service_inactive:
    service: script/turn_on
    entity_id: {{script}}

Should buttons within an iframe work? I have an iframe which uses the link http://media:9000/status_header.html?player=00:04:20:22:86:8f to access my squeezebox. However none of the buttons like volume, pause etc do anything when I click with a mouse. Using firefox.

Is there maybe an error with the climate widget? With the below configuration I get an error “WARNING Widget type not found: text” in my log

climate:
    entity: climate.woonkamer
    title: woonkamer
layout:
    - climate

Already tried the following but with the same result:

climate:
    entity: climate.woonkamer
    title: woonkamer
layout:
    - climate_woonkamer
154

you forgot

type: climate
and probably you should chose another title.

woonkamer:
    type: climate
    entity: climate.woonkamer
    title: woonkamer
layout:
    - woonkamer

only this:

layout:
  - climate.woonkamer

would work also

155

ah! cool. was wondering … but time and weather is shwowing up correctly

This is external acces to dashboard

156

same issue here, dont know if this is by design or not.

157

This was a bug in Beta2 - will be fixed in the next version.

158

Should be widget_type but Rene figured out the issue.

Show me your config and I can explain why that is.

I think you could probably use a switch to do this if you set some extra secret parameters :slight_smile: In fact, at the widget level you can override anything in the .yaml file so you don’t need to edit it directly.

post_service_active:
    service: script/turn_on
    entity_id: script.turn_it_on
post_service_inactive:
    service: script/turn_on
    entity_id: script.turn_it_off

This would fire the scripts, but would not affect the input_select, so you would need to add code to the script to set the input_select appropriately.

Let me know if that works :slight_smile:
