Used thundergreen’s command line and now pi is the owner… Rebooted… No luck. I still get the “normal” skin when using http://IP:3030/main?skin=hygge.

This is just suppouse to work? No alterations to any conf files needed?

if all other settings are standard, then this should work.

but i think i see where your problem is.
do you use HAdashboard V1 (the one on the homeassistant site)?
that dashboard cant work with skins.

i ask that because you use port 3030 which was for the old dashboard and the new uses standard 5050.

Nice catch, Rene.

That might be… how do I check which version I’m on? I’ve tried git pull origin like it said to update and get “Already up-to-date”. See below…

pi@raspberrypi:~/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon $ git pull origin
remote: Counting objects: 41, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (13/13), done.
remote: Total 41 (delta 28), reused 41 (delta 28), pack-reused 0
Unpacking objects: 100% (41/41), done.
From https://github.com/acockburn/appdaemon
   9feb3f9..3fc2dc0  appdash    -> origin/appdash
Already up-to-date.

pi@raspberrypi:~/hadashboard $ git pull origin
Already up-to-date.

I’m suppouse to install the V1 first and then update?

HADash is a separate thing entirely - it uses a version of AppDaemon as it’s base as opposed to the old framework.

You install it as a seperate program and then shutdown the old V1 dash.

The HISTORY.md file in the /appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon directory should tell you what version you are on.

what you have is appdaemon. whit git pull origin you pull the original appdaemon.
see the place where you pull it from:

that doesnt contain Dashboard at all.
and you installed the dashboard V1 seperately.

if you want to have the dashboard V2 you need to read this topic for instructions:

but you need to create completely new dashboards or a different (more easy) way

There you go! Thanks guys. I don’t know where I went wrong, thought I was following those instructions when I installed. Now skins work!
Thanks for being patient :smiley:

I think I might want to do a from scratch install at RC time so it will be nice to see a refined installation doc. Let me know if I can help. I volunteer as tribute if you want someone to test out a full from scratch install on the Pi.

LOL - will do :slight_smile: The installation piece should be completely up to date in the README.md and I test it every time I reinstall in my live environment, it’s very simple actually. I might even take the final step and put AppDaemon on PyPi for a one line install with no need to do anything with Git.

First try at a skin. I tried to emulate some of the iOS Home app look. I was stubborn and decided i needed to be able to have headers and footers with any dimension I wanted so I made life very hard for myself :slight_smile: : I think it will be worth it once I have multiple dashboards and can toggle between them from the footer.

Looks great! +1 for Family Guy reference.

Thanks. I’ll upload the skin as soon as I fix a few issues. I broke some things after I took the screenshot and need to figure them out.
