Anyone using Dashing.io with HomeAssistant?

[splnut (Chad)]

I have a tablet that will be mounted to the wall to control Home Assistant. While the default interface works, I like the look that Dashing provides more. I see where someone modified it work with OpenHAB and another project where someone was trying to migrate it over to work with Home Assistant, but never finished (https://github.com/dels78/homeassistant-dashboard).

Before I dive into it, is there anyone else already doing this?

I have a working setup yes, but currently on vacation. I’ll be happy to show you what I did when I get back.

I posted a preview a little while ago - since then I have it pretty much complete for my purposes and it is working very well:

Set Light Level using REST

I’m working on a wall mounted tablet based UI and using the REST API for the integration. Its working really well so far but I can’t seem to figure out how to set the dim level of a dimmable bulb or switch. I had expected to find a service called light/set_level or something similar but it seems to be conspicuously absent. I also tried passing the brightness level to switch/turn_on but got an error in the log. Can anyone tell me what I am missing here? If anyone is interested, my project is a …

[chanders]

I volunteer. Mind sharing your code?

[aimc (Andrew Cockburn)]

Great

Give me some time to get back home and do some tidy up and some basic docs, and I’ll throw it up on GitHub.

I would like to test this out as well.
It would fit beautifully on the wall.

OK, I just put up details in the My Projects section:

Wall Mounted Dashboard (now known as HADashboard)

I really love the stock HA UI for hand held devices both on tablets and phones, but as my eyes grow dim with age, I find it to be hard to get useful information from across a room, and also for some reason trying to hit the small links for scenes and scripts with my palsied trembling hands is difficult. And there is also the issue of all that bright light hurting my poor eyes at night … When I was using Smart Things for my automation, there was a community project created by a user called Flori…

Have at it and let me know how badly it breaks
