Creating a custom HTML front end for Domotiz Part 3 – YouTube companion article

March 28, 2017 fountside 2 Comments

We’re going to get a bit more clever now. When we have taught Domoticz a list of devices (be they switches or lights or door contacts) we may want to list them all in one go without manually entering a long list of html for each device. Also, if we can get the HTML front end to gather all the information about each switch, it means that we can update the contents of the buttons automatically, for example if we change the name of a device, it will automatically update in the HTML front end.

I’ve created some code to do this and the commentary on this is over on my YouTube video.

Here’s the code and two css files that you’ll need. Please note that the css files contain more than is needed at the moment: however the css will be needed in future articles.

Creating a custom HTML front end for Domoticz part 2 – YouTube companion article

March 7, 2017 fountside Leave a comment

This article just shows the code that accompanies the next in the multi-part series explaining how I created my (reasonably popular!) HTML front end.

The icon I used can be downloaded from Flaticon.com but remember to download two versions, one you should rename dehumidifier-on.png and one dehumidifier-off.png

Here’s the code.

How to

Creating a custom HTML front end for Domoticz Part 1- YouTube companion article

February 26, 2017 fountside 13 Comments

ere’s the HTML and CSS you’ll need if you want to follow my guide over on my YouTube channel on how to create a custom user interface using HTML for Domoticz.

I’ve been asked many times for the code for my HTML interface and others have asked how to develop their own, so this step by step guide should help you to build a great looking interface that you can be proud of, and your family can use with ease.

In the index.htm file, when copied into a text editor, change the line:

var domoticzurl="192.168.1.163"

to the address of your Domoticz system.

Go to the Domoticz folder, then to the www folder, then create a folder called whatever you want your creation to be called. I’ve called the folder fab for now.

Copy the three files into the folder. Once complete, the Domoticz HTML server will serve up the page to whomever requests it.

Try it out by opening any browser and typing in

addressofyourdomoticzsystem:port/yourfoldername/index.htm

In my case this would be

192.168.1.200:8080/fab/index.htm

If all is well you should see your masterpiece! Have a go at changing the names and idx codes of the devices and re-uploading and testing again.

As this HTML code sends HTTP requests, your browser may ask if you want to enable content. This has happened on my desktop version of Google Chrome a few times.

There is some code at the top of the index.htm page that tells your browser that if you’re using a smartphone to open this page, you can save it to your homescreen. The next time you open it, there will be no address bar and it will look like a web app.

save this text as index.htm

New YouTube channel

January 17, 2017 fountside 6 Comments

I just thought I would let you know that I have a new YouTube channel, called Fabulous Home Automation where I intend to add informational videos about home control devices. There will be a mixture of reviews and technical hints and tips, so hopefully something for everyone. My very first video is a quick review of some LightwaveRF products. I’d appreciate your comments, but please be constructive as this is my first video!
