Wall Mounted Dashboard (now known as HADashboard)

Thanks - I’ll include this in the docs.

Interesting that you are running on a separate machine for HADashboard - no reason it shouldn’t work I have just never tried it. Note that hapush has to run on the same machine as dashing however - it needs to be able to read the dashboards.

I forked your respo, made the changes and the requested the pull to your repo. Not sure what else to do :confused:


You have made a PR to your own fork.
When you create the PR make sure that you choose the original repository

I have now made a PR: https://github.com/acockburn/hadashboard/pull/1
But I am not sure if it is from the correct branch

Thanks both of you. @Danielhiversen, I see the PR and it looks clean, @Chanders, I’ll get your code into the base over the weekend.

@chanders - can you point me to the water-percent.png file? It is missing form the PR. Thanks!

Here it is. Would love to see how the widget look on all you guys dashboard!

@chanders - I don’t see a link or anything …

It’s above this text (white on white)

LOL I see it - thanks :slight_smile:

That’s the last piece I need, I have an update ready to put out tomorrow morning.

Just pushed a new version, version 1.3.

I added a new section on how to update, check the readme for details. Note that for this version, you will need to re-run bundle after you have updated, but before you start the dashboard.

As ever, feedback welcome and let me know how it is working for you!

There is one breaking change in this version - previously temperature units defaulted to Fahrenheit - now there is no default, you must explicitly specify it in the Hatemp widget or you will get no units at all. See README for more info.

#Version 1.3

  • Merge RSS widget contributed by KRiS
  • Merge Hahumiditymeter contributed by Shiv Chanders
  • Allow temperature unit to be specified in the dasboard
  • Remove main.erb and replace it with example.erb
  • Update README to reflect new widgets
  • Update README with additional install notes
  • Update README with section on updating the dashboard

Here is a pic of my current dashboard showing the new humidity meter:

git fetch origin

Does not seem to add the changes on my installation :confused:

Sorry - typo - try:

$ git pull origin

and let me know if that works.

Looks better but it seems that git pull cant get pass my custom changes.

Yes, that is how GIT is supposed to work. I would recommend you make a backup copy of the entire hadashboard directory and start fresh with git clone ..... It shouldn’t be too hard to copy your main.erb and ha_conf.rb back in place, but make sure you do take a backup, especially if you have made changes other than the ones I merged or you stand to lose them.

There are ways around this but you need to know how to use git properly and I barely qualify in that department :wink: In future, you could make custom changes in a new branch to avoid breaking your master branch.

Ok, then i know :slight_smile:

I did a “git clone”.
Now when i try to run “dashing start” I get an error in homeassistant.rb on line6.

You need to set up your ha_conf.rb file again …

Oh yes forgot about that file :slight_smile:

But now a new error :slight_smile:

Are you running dashing start from the top level?

EDIT: No you aren’t I see :slight_smile: Try it from a level up.

Yeah i missed that :slight_smile:
But i still get the error on homeassistant.rb line 6.

Did you have the file “ha_conf.rb” in the subdirectory lib? If so, what are its contents?
