Announcement: HADashboard v2 Beta!

You have no idea how many times I have started messages today only to say “Hmmmm, I wonder” and figure it out before hitting send. The latest one was having the L in light capitalized by mistake. You gotta love this stuff…

Something like…

docker build -t appdaemon .
docker create --name appdaemon --restart always -p 5050:5050 -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -v [/local/conf]/folder:/conf appdaemon
docker start appdaemon
docker logs -f appdaemon

Just noticed something in the docs.

There is a second section called input_slider that I think was supposed to be for Media Player.

input_slider

A widget to monitor and contol an input_slider

Mandatory Arguments

entity - the entity_id of the media player

Fixed in the next version, thanks!

Ok, actually a functional question now.

I’m trying to do the header.yaml include files. I named mine header.yaml just to be difficult. The contents are below.

(venv) pi@haweb:~/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf/dashboards$ cat header.yaml 
label:
    widget_type: label
    text: Welcome to the Den 
clock:
    widget_type: clock
layout:
    - label(2x2),spacer(4x2),clock(2x2)
(venv) pi@haweb:~/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf/dashboards$

The main page is defined as follows under Den.dash

(venv) pi@haweb:~/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf/dashboards$ cat Den.dash
#
# Main arguments, all optional
#
title: Den Panel
widget_dimensions: [120, 120]
widget_margins: [5, 5]
columns: 8

label:
    widget_type: label
    text: Welcome to the Den 
clock:
    widget_type: clock
DenLight:
    widget_type: light
    entity: light.den_fan_light
    title: Den Fan Light
PatioLight:
    widget_type: light
    entity: light.outdoor_patio_light
    title: Outdoor Patio Light
layout:
    - include: header 
    - DenLight(2x1)
    - PatioLight(2x1) 
(venv) pi@haweb:~/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf/dashboards$

My problem is that the Den Light Fan should be showing up on the 3rd row (since Welcome to the den is 2 rows in height), but the Den Light Fan is showing up at the end of the header.yaml file. In the main config I think we have defined the page to have 8 columns. In my header layout, I have the Welcome message at 2x2, spacer at 4X2, and clock at 2x2 which adds up to 8 columns. If I increase the spacer to 6x2, the Den Fan Light drops to row 2 and writes over part of the Welcome message as shown below.

If I include a “-” blank line underneath the header include, everything looks great and I can go back to a spacer of 4x2.

The log file is perfectly happy no errors or messages other than the normal compile messages.

aimc · March 4, 2017, 10:29pm

This is how it works - you need to account for every row in the layout even if you don’t define widgets on it. The header takes up 2 rows in reality. The most sensible fix would be to add the blank row to its layout.

turboc · March 4, 2017, 10:42pm

Oooh, I thought making the widget that size would resolve that. Guess the main page doesn’t know how large the header is as far as rows go.

Another thing, does this work with ipad’s yet? I’m getting the following errors in the log trying to load my pages from above on my ipad coming in remote (not on my internal lan)

Works fine local, the problem is just coming in remote.

aimc · March 4, 2017, 10:49pm

That’s just cosmetic you can ignore it. V2 was developed for iPads

turboc · March 4, 2017, 10:53pm

You sound like me talking to my users a while back. LOL The difference is, they didn’t think it was funny. I do. LOL

Jokerigno · March 4, 2017, 10:55pm

I have an issue while installing HADashbord v2.

I’m stuck in this error:

root@pi:/home/homeassistant/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon# python3 -m appdaemon.appdaemon -c
usage: appdaemon.py [-h] [-c CONFIG] [-p PIDFILE] [-t TICK] [-s STARTTIME]
[-e ENDTIME] [-i INTERVAL]
[-D {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}] [-v]
[–commtype {SSE,WEBSOCKETS}] [-d]
appdaemon.py: error: argument -c/–config: expected one argument

can someone please help me? TY

turboc · March 4, 2017, 10:57pm

after the -c you need to have the full path to your appdaemon config file. I’m guessing
/home/homeassistant/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf

Jokerigno · March 4, 2017, 11:01pm

That was my first try. But I receive another error:

root@pi:/home/homeassistant/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon# python3 -m appdaemon.appdaemon -c /home/homeassistant/appdaemon_dashboard/conf
Traceback (most recent call last):

And there is a file called “appdaemon.cfg” in that folder!

turboc · March 4, 2017, 11:08pm

Go to the directory where your file is and type

pwd # that will give you your current directory.

Then type

ls -l # this will give you a full listing of the directory with rights and ownership

post those please.

@Jokerigno have you you tried this?

This fixed it for me :slight_smile

turboc · March 4, 2017, 11:16pm

where is the pwd output

turboc · March 4, 2017, 11:19pm

Just out of curiosity what is NaN% I’m guessing it’s volume, I just haven’t ever seen it expressed that way.

Jokerigno · March 4, 2017, 11:21pm

Here it all:

in your command, you left out the appdaemon directory between the appdaemon_dashboard and the conf directory. Copy and past the output from your pwd directory and use it as your -c directory. That’s the safest way to get it right and avoid typo’s

-c /home/homeassistant/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf
