TileBoard - New dashboard for Homeassistant

Ive managed to add some cameras, but when i click them to show fullscreen they wont show anything…

No errors in web console or in HA… whats wrong?


Edit: Cameras are mjpeg

I’ve got it via: bgSuffix: ‘@attributes.entity_picture’,

There is full example for DEVICE TRACKER:

            {
                    position: [1, 0],
                    type: TYPES.DEVICE_TRACKER,
                    id: 'device_tracker.00112233445566',
                    map: 'yandex',
                    states: {
                            home: "Home",
                            not_home: "Away",
                            office: "Office",
                    },
                    bgSuffix: '@attributes.entity_picture',
                    slidesDelay: 2
            }

Thank you

We’ve added a fix so a map would not show up if device_tracker is not exposing coordinates. Could you please check if this is working as expected?

Can you provide me with a config and create an issue on github?

which config do you want?

my config.js ?

or the camera config?

Yes, it’s fully working, so if you have a device tracker without gps coordinates, it is possible now to define it with this config:

            {
                    position: [1, 0],
                    type: TYPES.DEVICE_TRACKER,
                    id: 'device_tracker.mac_address',
                    states: {
                            home: "Home",
                            not_home: "Away",
                    },
                    bgSuffix: '@attributes.entity_picture',
            },

You can also get rid of the bgSuffix since entity_picture will be the only slide.

Yes, part of your config.js where cameras are described. Please, please, please let’s not turn this thread into complete chaos and open appropriate issues on github.

@resoai i’ve downloaded the config from your repo and modified a few entries in the config.js to test out the dashboard. It loads up but none of the tiles are appearing. Any help would be appreciated.

what am I missing? I added a password to the file

Can you please provide a spinet of your config?

Config, please :slight_smile:

Great Project. @resoai Thanks

@Abeksis I have had to clean out my cache on my browser every time i do a change in config.js.

Make sure your password is wrapped in quotes, even if it’s a number

I am fairly new to HA but I have a lot of cameras including Mobotix (but not all displayed in HA). The ones in HA I have displaying correctly in TileBoard … and noticed you can even overlay tiles on them … I like that it will be very useful.

Can I use the camera tile to display a camera feed directly by entering it’s URL or must it already exist in HA ? If so I’m not quite sure how to do that (function ?) and could you post a really quick example of the appropriate entry for including that direct URL in the camera tile config ?

Please remember that this is JavaScript and all strings must start andend with quote sign (") i.e. password: "12345..."

You were right :slight_smile:

An entity must exist in HA. One very dirty solution would be to use IFRAME tile but to be honest I see no reasons for doing it.

OK - thanks - I’ll get adding them to HA. I too use a T25.

Really loving your app… do you have a donation address for beers ?
