    The first time I saw images of HA Dashboard it was love at first sight. Took me a while to work up the courage to ask her out, but now she's mine forever.
    The long description for this project is on the website (www.drzzs.com).
    Here are some of the most important links/text you'll need:
    AppDaemon Repo: github.com/has...
    Install instructions for non-Hassio: appdaemon.readt...
    Dashboard Creation: appdaemon.readt...
    materialdesign...
    And if you want to read ahead, a lot of what we'll do in Part 2 will be custom skins:
    appdaemon.readt...

    I'm a newbie, not a programer. I watched lots of "how to's " on HomeAssistant (on pi3 )and did not find any info (including yours) on how to setup the mqtt to work on a local network , I am using a nodemcu to turn on relays and sense temp,etc. It took several weeks of digging ,trial & many cryptic errors to get the info needed to get mqtt running and the nodemcu communicating with HA. I really think the naming of groups, topics, payload, client, clientid, subscribe, enitites, etc are a real pain to relate between arduino and HA. So if some one could make a series for newbies , HA could really take off. Thanks for your videos.

    Duuuuude... you have a gift! Great videos. Learning something new with each one. Your fun to watch. A bit fast paced, but thanks to the gift of pause and rewind, we can still absorb the wealth of information you throw at us. I had to subscribe. As a neophyte to Home Assistant I have learned that nothing is what I would call stable as updates seem to change the appearance or where to find items and how these items work. But heck, its great when things work and ..... well..... i wont mention how it feels when they don't.... Got to find Part 2 now... Thanks again!

    Sweet! I just switched over to Hassio from Hassbian yesterday so I'm definitely going to do this. I have a couple first gen kindle fires that will be perfect for this. I've never heard of Maker Faire but turns out that we have a featured Faire here in Tulsa Oklahoma in August, definitely going to have to hit it up.

      hahaha, that's what I felt like when I stumbled on home assistant. I'm starting to get bags under my eyes from the lack of sleep. But I can now say that I understand most of what I'm reading in the forums now. And I only have to watch the instructional videos a few times now instead of 20. I'm having a lot of fun with automation rules and notifications through telegram when devices are on too long or doors left open. 🤓

    @randyhall5554 6 років тому

    FYI, the whole "semicolon for styles" thing you mentioned in the video is because you are using CSS to change the look on the dashboard (i.e. the dashboard is in HTML). One-line style entries look a lot like YAML, but they aren't, and they need that semicolon.
    Great episode, looking forward to trying this stuff myself :)

    a trick I used to help expedite the "copy and paste" was to highlight the entities on the HA web page (with ALL fields) and then copy and past them into an excel file, then deleted the 2 "info" columns to get me a nice list of them without manually copying each one...I then saved it as a .csv file and opened in N++ and added the space needed after the comma to get the right syntax for the .dash file...hope this helps someone! (this is in Windows...)

    THANKS SO MUCH for your videos... lots of information and I like your stile a lot... As for this video I´m so looking forward to create a totally super dooper dashboard with a 3D floor plan of my house (of course the JPEG will be done ina 3D tool) and hopefully be able to add each HA entity on top of the image so I would have a graphical view of my house instead of a matrix button layout, although I can always use the matrix dashboard for a mobile device but for a desktop or a mid size tablet wouldbe amazing to have a 3D image of the house

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 років тому

      I've seen the floor plan style. I want to do that too. If you do it before I get to it, let me know how it goes.
      With custom skins for HADashboard you could do it, but I think there's another program that is intended to do that, so it might be easier with that one.
      I'll look into it and get something out eventually!

    Have you taken a look at MQTT Dash? Being its a native Android App looks ready to rock, trying to decide to go that route or HADashboard. Also still deciding on hardware. Thinking Pi3 + 7" Touchscreen.

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 років тому

      I haven't tried it. I'll have to check it out. I really like HADashboard. It just looks really nice and if you know css you can make it look like anything you want.
      If you only want a 7" display it's hard to beat the Amazon Fire 7. I think they're only like $50

    • @ViciousXUSMC
      @ViciousXUSMC 6 років тому

I use the tablet to turn light on and I use the physical switch to turn it off, the tablet does not refresh the status of light automatically. Many Thanks. Jacky

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 років тому

      That's a great question. I haven't noticed that problem with mine. Maybe mine is refreshing automatically. I'm using an app called "Fullscreen Browser"
      play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xyz.fullscreenbrowser&hl=en
      and another one called "Stay Alive"
      play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.synetics.stay.alive&hl=en
      Mine seems to stay synced with my lights and such. Try your browser settings. That's were I'd guess an auto refresh would be.

    Hey I think you would like the `>` escape in yaml. It will let you use the next indented block as a multiple line spread of whatever you desire, removing the new lines (vs the `|` ;)
    E.g.
    - my really really really long line with, arguments, and, stuff
    Vs
    - >
    ...my really really long
    ...line with
    ...arguments,
    ...and,
    ...such
    These are identical to yaml (... is indentation)

    You obviously have HASSio. I had some problems installing it but had no problems with Hasbian. Is one better than the other? I am new to HASS.

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  5 років тому

      if you're comfortable with the linux command line and can install other packages, then hassbian might be better. But I believe many linux-savvy folks prefer installing HA with docker instead of hassbian even.
      The benefit of hassio is the ability to do pretty much anything without every using the command line. With all the available addons it's becoming less necessary to be familiar with linux. That's the main advantage of hassio. Not being super familiar with linux, hassio makes a lot of sense for me to use. I also gear my videos toward newer users, and I expect most of them will be using hassio.
      Hope that helps!

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 років тому +1

      I don't know if there is a "fan" entity in HA that translates to a "fan" in HA Dashboard.
      or you can define your own "fan". My guess is you have "fan.something" in the layout, but there's no "fan" widget in HA Dashboard. You should be able to fix it by defining "fan" above the layout and linking it to your fan entity from HA. Sorry, I just can't remember (of find quickly) which entity types from HA get converted automatically to widgets for HA dashboard, but I'm guessing "fan" isn't one of them.
      I haven't played with HA Dashboard in a while so it isn't fresh in my mind.
      You should be able to find what you need here:

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 років тому

      Thanks!
      1 - yes, any tablet. All it needs to be able to do is view a website. Even the cheapest oldest tablets can at least do that! The tablet I used for the video is a Nexus7 from 3-4 years ago.
      2 - By custom UI, you mean for Home Assistant? Like arranging groups, tabs, cards? Ben did a great video on that. I don't think I could do it better than he did: ua-cam.com/video/EsBtyF5tZQ4/v-deo.html
      There is a way to customize the colors (themes) I might do something with that. Someone else mentioned the floor plan idea. Like a dashboard but with a floor plan of your house with button overlays. That's one I'd like to do for sure.
      So the answer to #2 is a very strong Maybe ;P

      hmmm, for mdi icons you shouldn't have to copy the file to your machine, it should go to the web and grab it. Could something be blocking it from getting to the website? Another option would be to not control the icon in the Appdeamon yaml, but use the Customization option in HA instead. I don't think you can set the on/off icons separately, but you can change it to the lightbulb icon you want, then it will change the color/outline based on the state.

      We were just talking about this last night on the live stream. There are no restrictions to using any of this open source stuff in your business. That's the quick answer. The only requirement is if you make any modifications that you also make your mod freely available to others. That's as simple as posting it on github.
      I'm no lawyer, but I'm 99% sure you can use Home Assistant and any of it's parts in your business without any legal problems.

    Great video - it’s really helping me a lot :)
    One question if I may - I have a template sensor which displays an icon based on its state. E.g. if it’s state is “Home” it displays mid:home
    In the dashboard it only displays the value of the state (e.g. Home) and not the associated icon
    Do you know anyway to display the icon?

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 років тому +1

      Thanks!Ya, I don't know why it doesn't seem to be using the HA icons (it should be...)
      Anyway, you can set the icon if you set up a custom widget definition. I talk about how to do it in the second half of the video.
      If you have questions that aren't answered there let me know. Make sure you set the "entity" or it won't pull the state from HA.

    • @narkeddiver7325

      DrZzs I got there in the end
      I played about with customising widgets as per your video but I couldn’t find a widget class that did what I wanted so I ended up dusting off my html, JavaScript and css skills and created my own widget class which I got to work
      Whilst debugging this I noticed I was getting an error with the mdi css not loading so I had to switch to using fa icons
      It might have been this that was causing my initial problem but I can’t check as I can’t find the source for the original base widget

    Another great video for a project into which I'm jumping. However, I've found a slight roadblock. I installed Appdaemon3, modified appdaemon.yaml to show the ha and dash url's as 192.168.1.14(:8123) (:5050), saved and rebooted. When I click on "Open web ui" I get an error saying can't reach the site, connection refused. I notice in the URL bar that it's trying to go to is "xxxx.duckdns.org". If I open a separate browser window and enter the local IP and port 5050 it opens fine. Also my configurator-inator button on the overview page does something similar. It just opens a white panel with a blue bar at the top that says Configurator and there is nothing else on the page but the URL bar says it's trying to go to my duckdns.org. My ipanel section in my configuration.yaml points to my local ip.
    If anyone can point me in the right direction to the resources that'll help me sort this out I would be appreciative.

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 років тому

      hmmm
      Not sure what exactly is happening, but it does at least seem solvable.
      What URL are you using to access HA? I assume it's duckDNS. It looks like whatever URL you use to open HA, that is the URL (with different ports) that Appdeamon and Configurator try to open.
      If you're in your house and you access your HA from the local IP address it should work if you click to open Appdeamon or Configurator. I'm not sure what to do with DuckDNS. Can you add a domain with those ports to DuckDNS? I just tried logging back into my DuckDNS account and it isn't showing my domain anymore. I still use it but it's not showing on the list for some reason. I'm guessing there's a step that you had to do for DuckDNS to be able to open HA on port 8123, that needs to be repeated for port 5050 and 3281 (for configurator). Sorry I can't remember right now what all the steps are for setting up DuckDNS, but I bet the key to fixing your issue is there.
      For me, I don't use the configurator or the dashboard outside my house. If I do I VPN into my home network with OpenVPN and then it works as if I were home and I can use the local IP addresses.
      Wish I had the answer for you. Hopefully we're on the right track and you can figure it out by assigning the right ports somewhere. Could even be in your router.
