UD Mobile Widget

[apostolakisl]

@JaviI tried your new widget for turning switches on/off/slider.  I applied it to a scene and instead of all the devices turning on/off together, they are staggered.  I guess the widget just isn't meant for scenes?

Thanks for the report, I'll optimize switch (on/off), and slider/picker (0 & 100) for scenes in the next release.  Current behavior is the same as a value picker where off is the lowest value and on is the highest value. 

However due to scenes not supporting percentages the app sends the percentage value to each member.  So adjusting at the send percentage command class to send DON for 100 and DOF for 0 should fix all scene widgets for lowest and highest values.

I think the same could apply to any command DON for switches as long as DOF is supported.

Did I miss this somehow?  Is there an iOS widget now that can do individual actions?  I just have the one that goes to favorites, but I wish I had a couple of individual ones instead.

@smileyw No...inside the UD Mobile app they're calling things widgets...

@Javi Great job on the widgets! Just started using them.

Would it be possible for the slider to show the value as you slide it?

The Kasa NS uses 0-255 for brightness which works fine in a slider, but maybe I should change it to use 0-100 so it shows percentage instead of the number?

I'm not able to add the load button for an Insteon KPL. Can that be added? See pic. It works fine using the default type.

I tried the picker for Insteon fan motor, which pulls up the off/low/medium/high but it doesn't actually change the device when I select one?

UD Mobile.is now becoming a great app to control everything with IoP and Polyglot!

@Javi, this is great, thank you! I have several variables displayed on my Favorites and it's great to be able to change the status value from 0/1 to On/Off.

I have one general question.  When I first open the Favorites page not everything populates with the current values.  I have to tap on them to get the value to display.  Is there a way to get them to all show up initially.

Thanks again for your continued development of UD Mobile.  I can't remember the last time I opened MobiLinc!

In ISY Systems settings do you have request status options enabled?

No!  I figured it was a setting somewhere, thank you for pointing it out!

Hi @Jimbo.Automates,

Thanks!

On my list, but on the lower end.

That's how Insteon is done on 5.x.  Maybe add both UOMs as editor>range values. That would prevent breaking current setups. Changing the UOM will affect existing users with this CMD in programs.

Depending on the number of user affected it may be better to only have one UOM (editor range).  I'm not quite sure how the app will handle a multiple UOM situation, so adjustments will need to be made on the app side and may require users to select/change the UOM (not sure if that is desirable).  Multiple UOMs is rare, so currently for widgets the app requests the first editor>range in the database (not as listed on the profile).

Looks like the CMD (DON) parameter does not have an INIT value for non-dimming KPLs (also not clickable from the Node's Dashboard). I think we are going to allow users to add the INIT value for CMD>Parameters to fix devices missing INIT values.  https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/38489-all-on-versus-fast-on/?do=findComment&comment=348235

Could not replicate in 0.168.   Does this happen with all devices or only this Fanlink?  I've had Fanlinks get out of sync before so it's possible the Fanlink is malfunctioning.   Usually power cycle of the Fanlink from the breaker box or ISY reboot fixes the issue, does not happen frequently so I don't remember which action fixed status reporting.

Ok, maybe I'll poll users of the Kasa NS to see if anyone objects to just change the it.

Ok, bummer.  Should it just be changed in the ISY source profile?

Strange, I tried another Fanlinc and it had the same issue.  They both respond file to KPL and RemoteLinc's.

I'll have to add an edit screen, similar to the edit screen for missing step values.  Chris is going to try to add missing INIT for Z-Wave, I'll let him know about non-dimming KPLs also.  The latter option is firmware related, so not sure when Chris will get to it or which firmware will get the update (i.e. not sure 994i will be corrected).

Does the same happen from the Node's Dashboard when clicking the fan "Status"?   Does the same happen for another device type, i.e. a dimmable light?  Being as I cannot replicate and it's happening for multiple FanLinks, I'm wondering if there is a program "correcting" the value based on another condition.

Yes, would be ideal to fix the source, and understand it can take a while.

The slider works great on a dimmable light, haven't tried the Picker.  I have no programs controlling these fans.  Now the very odd thing is I just tried it again while not at home and it looks like it worked perfectly, I will test again when back home and connected to the LAN.

@Javi, thank you for widgets in iOS!  So far all of the new widget types I've tried are working great.   I did run into one problem which I don't think is related to the widgets.  I added a program to the favorite screen, and when I go to save it after changing anything I get this error.  But if I discard the changes when I get back to the favorite screen the changes have been made and it is operational.  I tried a 2nd program and got the same result.

Now the very odd thing is back on the LAN and it works just fine.  Very strange because now I see the little spinning icon for a split second, where before that was not happening.

Hi @tmorse305,  Thanks for the report. Fixed in next version.

Thanks for checking.  Let me know if you see it again.

@Javi the INIT editor solved my issue with non dimmable KPL, thanks!
