There was an interesting discussion on the forum a while ago about securing your HA installation from external threats. All of which would be a waste of time if they downloaded unknown code from a source with no reputation.
So although your project looks interesting, its a risk I am not willing to take.
Sure, I understand.
I’m working on a Microsoft Store version, but it’s a hazzle 
But that might help people to trust the application.
I think what @gpbenton is saying is that he’d be more willing to try this out if he could see the source. Which it looks like you may be planning to do anyway.
yupp, someday 
This is awesome, I’ve been looking for a simple way to control / monitor my HTPC with HA!
Just uploaded a new version and source code.
Some new features as well Will work on some minor bugs and documentation today
Cool, i’d like to try it out. But i cannot seem to get it to work.
What is the syntax for “Server” ?
Does it work without Username & Password?
Whatever i put in, i always get “unexpected error”
Server: ip or dns name, like 192.168.1.2 (without any http or https )
I’ll make a new build with username and password optional. But you should have username and password on your server
I’m afraid I have to disagree here. My network is not accessible to anyone else, so no extra security is necessary.
You don’t lock your front door and then keep your wallet in a safe.
Same for me. My Hass.io Server is not available to outside network. Yet…
The Username and Password is for the MQTT Server correct? So i would need to add them inside the mosquitto configuration.
New build and installer that will accept no username/password.
Are your door safe?
I dont’t agree but understad 
Adjusting the connect line makes the app work as I like. It is just what I need to display notifications on my PC. Its already set to run on startup 
Still i always get unexpected error whatever i type in.
Any idea what i can do different? Version 0.0.14
Can you send me a screenshot of the options in a pm?
Unfortunately, it didn’t start up automatically for me this morning 
Also, I tried to build the release version, but it crashed every time I saved the options, so I am running the debug version, but that works fine once I start it manually.
Check the latest build, lots of bugs fixed and added a imagefolder -> slideshow
I just checked out the latest tree, and the release version works well, even without a username and password.
One significant thing though, is that closing the window doesn’t stop the binary running. You have to do that with the task manager.
it’s already fixed, havent commited and made a installer yet… comming later today
All of a sudden, the application doesnt keep loaded anymore. It starts and closes itself within seconds…
no error message?
New build uploaded
