Homekit Infused 5 (HKI) v2023.1.3

UbiMaiden · July 9, 2020, 7:02pm

On both my test machines (Raspberry pi 4 and Docker server ) I use Home assistant (ex Hassio). All I did was install appdeamon4 trough app store, and then copy folder appdeamon from homekit infused 2.0rc to the root. (overwriting any files). If I just copied “text_states_load.py” It didn’t work.
~~In the initial installation I selected language English and Material Icons, result unknown everywhere.~~
~~Now I changed language and material to select and now I have text but no icons.~~
~~In the appDaemon administration page I can see callbacks for text, but not icons. I tried different settings in the language settings with no luck.~~
~~The other problem is I configured “customize.yaml” and setup rooms. On the Pi 4 I can see my lights under lights (only light no switches or sensor are visible), but not in the VM.~~
~~I followed your install instructions point by point. In the production I’m running your Infused 0.13, that I configured for my needs, now I want to try 2.0.~~

~~edit:~~

~~I did the same on Pi 4 (change language to select )and now I have Text and icons, but home and menu icons are missing.~~

edit2:
I reinstall everything and watched that I didn’t select language, and restart the appdeamon app, and now I have icons and text.
What must I configure to see lights and switches under devices or lights. I can see my cameras, but that is all, nothing else.
Edit3:
I figured it out

Hi, can I ask what card you are using for Notifications and Events here, is it a card I can use without the theme, or does it require me to run HKI?

jimz011 · July 11, 2020, 4:50pm

Hi yes, I used a markdown card for this (or a button card) can’t really remember as I haven’t used that style of notifications in a long time. But I believe it was a markdown card. Which is pretty simple to do.

scstraus · July 12, 2020, 1:12am

Thanks. I can’t figure out how to set the color of the background in a markdown card, and don’t know how to place the image on the left like that in a button card… I don’t suppose you’ve got an old copy of the yaml for it somewhere do you?

jimz011 · July 12, 2020, 1:43am

Unfortunately by heart know I wouldn’t know how I did this exactly. However you can download an old release from my repo (click on the releases section or click the link in the first post). The last version that had this card is 0.13.3. Download that and check out the code (I believe it can be found in the templates folder).

If you need help implementing it just shout (or even better join our great discord community)

Looks like this is it. I will give it a go. Will save me tons of time. Thanks!

So I have it working quite well now. If anyone wants to see my implementation, it’s here in my github repo.

@jimz011, out of curiosity before I go and implement 50 cards of this, why did you abandon this way of displaying notifications and what do you do now?

jimz011 · July 15, 2020, 6:42pm

You can check out the screenshots in the first post. Notifications are shown in the header now and they scroll automatically (and can also be scrolled manually) holding that bar will open a popup which shows all the current notifications at once (but usually the scrollbar is sufficient).

scstraus · July 15, 2020, 7:47pm

Ah, didn’t notice that. Very nice. So there wasn’t any major problem with the way you used to do it, you just wanted something more concise?

jimz011 · July 15, 2020, 8:35pm

Exactly, I wanted it to look a bit more “professional”. Though ultimately I am still not satisfied, so I am currently working on an Android app to replace this in the future.

scstraus · July 15, 2020, 8:38pm

What you did with just normal YAML is very impressive. A lot to be learned there.

非常感谢您带给我们如此炫酷的界面，我是来自中国的普通玩家，我现在遇到了一个问题，在手机端：

手机横屏的时候，显示出现错位：

手机横屏以及在PC浏览器上显示正常：

我的hki版本是b10，暂时没有升级到b12；
hassio版本： 0.112.4
hacs所有插件版本为最新版本。

您能看出来是哪儿的配置出现问题吗？非常感谢。

Thank you very much for bringing us such a cool interface, I am an ordinary player from China, I now encounter a problem on the mobile side:

When the phone is on the horizontal screen, the display is misplaced:

The phone’s horizontal screen and the PC browser display is OK:

My hki version is b10 and has not been upgraded to b12 for the time being;
Hassio version: 0.112.4`.
All plug-in versions of hacs are up to date.

Can you see where there was a configuration problem? Thank you so much.

jimz011 · July 17, 2020, 2:43am

Use layout card version from my repo, or downgrade to a lower version (I believe 13). You can find it in www/community

使用我的仓库中的布局卡版本，或降级到较低版本（我相信13）。你可以在找到它 www/community

xianweitudou · July 17, 2020, 2:49am

thank you very much,I’ll try it.

dturgel · August 3, 2020, 1:41am

@jimz011 Can we use this with the new 0.113 update? Also, to your comment about the RPi not working well enough for this, do you think the new 8GB versions of the RPi would work better? Also, what are you running your yours on? (Sorry new to the thread and tried to search for it but couldn’t find it)

dturgel · August 3, 2020, 1:58am

@jimz011 I just hopped on the discord channel and will ask you over there

jimz011 · August 3, 2020, 2:02am

You can find my current hardware in the docs https://jimz011.github.io/homekit-infused (it is at the bottom of the first page)

0.113.x is currently semi supported (it will work, but some colors might be off and popups might be fully black (since the colors need updating). However I am rewriting it to be in between v1 and v2 as the amount of entities and templates really tank performance (I myself run a hardcoded variant and that runs super fast and smooth). I am currently thinking about what to do about this and I think I will just simply rewrite a lot of stuff to make this both rpi compatible and faster. (I am also working on an Android app for the future, but that will take quite some time before that will be done).

I see you’ve joined discord and I can answer all your other questions there.

@jimz011 fantastic, thank you!

Project on-hold pending major update to v3.0.0

Hi all, after quite some time of hiatus I am back for a few announcements. I have learned quite a lot from building v1 and v2 and will combine that knowledge into a third iteration of this. The third variant is once again written from the ground up and is now properly cleaned up. A short list of some of the changes coming:

Colors will be correctly displayed in HA 0.113.x and up
The header no longer scrolls when scrolling down the page
All popups are working correctly again
Removed 1500 entities
Reduced code (at time of writing the base code has been reduced by 60%, this will probably shrink a lot more so it will go back to a base code of around 5000 lines of code or less!)
Cleaned up and merged all templates, templates are now more readable
Media Center, remote control is now included
Fixed vacuum view
Fixed icons being cut off on iphones in the header
Added certificates view
Removed laundry view (this will be merged with the cleaning view)
Shrunk groups, devices/lights etc can now all be placed in the same group, HKI will figure out itself where it should go
Fixed all category titles to look the same on all pages (they were indented on some)
Removed edit mode and HKI Settings menu
Added configuration file as replacement to the above removals
Fixed readability on the system messages and developer tools in the Space Gray theme
Massive speed improvements (going from a 40/60 seconds load to a 6 second load)
RPI compatibility (though remember that an rpi is still not a powerful device)
Tablet support
Infinite rooms as rooms are no longer hardcoded into the dashboard, you can create as many rooms as you want
Hundreds of other bugfixes

Update note:
The update is fundamentally different from the previous versions and requires you to basically set it up again since the UI no longer has the possibility to change anything except for the theme colors. Good news though, user-content created views will NOT be affected (Unless you did use any of my templates. You can copy the templates to the new user folder and change the paths in your user-content views to fix it)

Stay tuned for more information, it will take a few weeks to put this online and will be properly documented as usual (including some neat videos this time).

Very nice.
Do you have any ETA for the new version?
