Jan, possible to create sort button name, room or number? Hide unmapped?

I have 427 devices so to search is difficult.

If for devices select light it was visible but later I need to change in light color to see it back

Thanks in advance

Sorting of columns is coming. So id, name, and type? 
Maybe search on name too.

Jan, when I need a same Floor plan on my wife's iPad:

Is this the best way?:

install same version on iPad as on my MacBook

copy homemapdata complete from MacBook >>> iPad

Yes, you can copy homemapdata folder, but you can't run on iPad, it's an MacOS application.

In the future I may make an iPad version...

Ok thanks.

Shall inform here to be patience. 🥲

I just upgrade to 0.1.27 and I lost my 4 floors, replaced by your 2 examples.

My config.json is still there so does it means that the application is now pointing to another location for the configuation file?

Using th cogwheel, the path is as set in .env

Trying to add any floor, I got the following error when Add Floor is pressed

Another little issue: if you suppress all existing floors then I do not see any menu to add a floor.😒

The app automatically creates a configuration folder

Where it is located? Are you still using a config.json file? (I hope, in order to patch my own data in it)

That's a bug, will fix.

It'a using the path in the settings (cogwheel) The HC3_HOMEMAP env is phased out.

You can see the path there and you can set it to your old I guess - depending on how old your folder is it may not be backward compatible. I would recommend to start over.

So the config.json file is in the homemapdata folder, but you should not edit it by hand anymore. Devices and floors are setup with the UI. Only reason to go into the folder is to add your own icon sets in icons/* or your home made widgets in widget/*

Oh me bad!!

I modifyed config.json because I had 2 devices deleted and still on the floor map.

I had a copy in another map

It was't possible to delete in the device manager, not showed.

I have de-installed and re-installed the application. 

 config.json as well as the /icons, /widget and /images are in directory '/myName'.

Now HomeMap is again loading my 4 floors and I have got back all devices which were created previous version.

Those for which I used your default widget and icons are displayed correctly and working.

All others for which I created a widget specific json files and relatives icons are there but without any icon and do not work ;

When I edit them, I cannot find my specific widgets.

 

Where I need to locate  json files and icons for this user's widgets?

So there was an issue when saving the icon sets name with a device, so it didn't make a difference between built-in, packages, or user icon set, the the icon set name was the same.

It's fixed in the last version.

In settings there is a new button to backup the homedatamap folder (save it as a zip somewhere else)

Making progress, HomeMap starts up in the iPad simulator and basic connectivity and menus work:

Still some way to get the details in place

[Sjakie 156]

Magnificent!!!

[Christb 33]

Update to version 0.1.28 and have now all my devices with the default widget/icon.

 

I have not yet found a way to add my own widget, icons. Could you help me on how to add: 

type light:

'lustre.json' with icon 'offlustre.svg' and 'onlustre'.svg

BTW : is there a limitation in the size of icon for user's icons?

So each of the built-in widgets, ex "light" requires icons with specific names.

If you set your device to use the built-in widget light it will use the iconSet "lightdim" as default.

That is an iconSet shared between "light" and "lightdim" widget.

The iconSet contains 

.icons/built-in/lightdim/on.svg

.icons/built-in/lightdim/off.svg

.icons/built-in/lightdim/half.svg

 

"light" uses the on.svg and off.svg to show the on and off status.

"lightdim" also uses the half.svg to show when the light is dimmed.

 

You can add your own iconSet for a on/off light by adding

.icons/lustre/on.svg

.icons/lustre/off.svg

 

If your device is set to widget built-in "light" you can set the iconSet to your "lustre" iconSet.

The widget will then look for the on.svg and off.svg icons in .icons/lustre/* for its state icons.

 

If your lustre is dimmable, you can set the widget to built-in lightdim and the have a half.svg in your .icons/lustre/

Icons can also be .png

 

If you make your own widget json you can of course choose your own icon names for the states, but the general principle is the same.

Is it posible to select diferentes back groud for a group? So it will read the pannel quickly.

If you need an iPad tester we can do it.
