This community helped me so much over the last weeks, I wanted to share a script I built tonight.
The script uses a toggle button to turn on “Refresh Mode”. If turned on, the frontend opens up /home/ or any other view you set up, after X seconds / minuts.
When you have a multi view dashboard (think floors, rooms etc) on the wall, the family of course doesnt leave it after usage back on /home/.
This script solves this. Every 10 minutes it moves back to /home/ and when you walk by the ipad: you alwas see the front page.
Features:
- If you use the ipad during the time, the timer to move back to /home/ is re-set after every touch/blick. Hence, you will never be moved back to /home/ while using the iPad.
- The script checks every x seconds, if you changed the toggle - hence if you want to turn off the script for some time, simply toggle the button in the frontend.
I put everything together in this repository, maybe it helps someone:
