News RSS on Dashboard

Hapush is no longer required, it was from a previous version of the dashboard. Valid options for the widget text etc. are standard CSS, which you can google. All of the available options should be listed in the latest version of the docs for dashboard creation: http://appdaemon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/DASHBOARD_CREATION.html

Great, I shoulda realized that…CSS helped me out. Thats the doc I used to build this bad boy, Ive done a few tests and Im not sure why the state does not change. I double checked that doc as well and under input boolean it says to monitor and change the state so I don’t think i need anything else. However for example my living room tv should turn on my tv when the boolean goes to on from off. I can activate this from HA or alexa no issues, when I touch the widget on the dashboard and it lights up i can go back and look at entities within HA and the boolean stays off it does not change. nothing in the logs either. Any idea what to look into?

Can you open your JavaScript console in your browser and check for errors?

good call…and strangest thing ever…Ive been working on the fonts thing, different panel…I then saw your note and opened the console hit the button it now works to turn it off!! i tried that many many times i cant think of anything that changed. It still won’t turn it on though, I get two errors…one is related to an icon i can deal with later the other I’m not sure…that is the ip of the pi running dashboard

i just rebooted everything left the console open and clicked the tv / boolean. it is on according to the dash board but off in HA entities. no errors or logging in ha log / java console / the terminal session open with appdaemon…

Darbos · August 20, 2017, 11:24pm

argh i figured it out…all my fault. Sorry about that, I was turning the wrong tv on lol.

Guess I should focus on one thing at a time

That entity doesn’t show on within HA though, but its working.

I am also stuck in the same error. I double checked the permissions and they are fine even i can get the feed with wget but still getting error “entity not found: news”. My appdaemon.yaml file is like -

AppDaemon:

  errorfile: STDERR
  threads: 10

I am on the latest version - appdaemon-2.1.7 idna-2.6 requests-2.18.4

What else can i check.

You have the RSS feed in the wrong place - it needs to go ne’er the AppDaemon section or it will be ignored.

vageesh79 · August 21, 2017, 1:19pm

thanks totally missed that part

Darbos · August 22, 2017, 3:22pm

Have you noticed any issues with appdaemon and RSS feeds? It seems like after 12 or so hours of running I start getting java errors and my feeds stop. I also noticed when I first start appdaemon the dash board responds very quickly but after some hours maybe 2 or 3 the response time drops noticeably. I’m using a pi3 for dashboard and ha and iPad Pro for dashboard display.

I’ll update I figured out that HTML and holy crap I love it. I got some good ideas and plans.

aimc · August 22, 2017, 5:02pm

Very pretty indeed!

What errors are you seeing?

Darbos · August 22, 2017, 10:36pm

Thank you sir. Ill grab the errors and post back.

Ok I’m 100% done. Matches the living room perfect. On to the next black n red one.

My only question is do you know how I could line up just the couple sensors that look misaligned? Like the time to and the Mbps? The public up is perfect so globally wouldn’t work (got me some OCD)

Thank you!!
