apostolakisl Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 I was wondering if we could add the ability to display 2 different sub nodes on the icon for a node. Either by replacing the node name or just having another option. Example here is displaying Weatherbyit forecast. I'd like to see the day and forecasted temp without opening the node. Currently I see "forecast 0" as the name of the node and the forecast temp below it. I'd like to see the day of the week "forecast 0" (or 1 or 2 etc) refers to as well as the temp. Mostly this is an issue for higher numbers since forecast 0 is the same as today and 1 is tomorrow. But higher numbers start to require doing math and I was told there would be no math.
DennisC Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 You should be able to do this now. I do the same thing for Weatherflow. In UD Mobile go to the tile in question and before selecting it, click the pencil icon in upper right corner. Next select the tile in question and in the pop up select Edit. Under Display Node it should say Forecast # plus node name. Select Display Status and choose "Day". Select Save in upper right corner. When that is done, deselect the pencil icon in upper right corner. To further customize mine, I change the icon and color based on the forecast. See UD Mobile instructions for examples. 2

That doesn't do what I want. When you do that, the default display name is then "forecast x" (where x is 0, 1, 2, 3 etc). You can replace that with a custom name (for 0 I replaced it with "today forecast"), but the custom name is static. I want to make the custom name be assigned one of the node values (in this case the day of the week it is currently reporting). For today and tomorrow, a static name is fine, but as you get further out that gets a little silly. "3 day from now forecast" . . . In short, I would like variable substitution available in the custom name, much like you can do in ISY for custom messages. And yes, I have made it change the color of the icon for different temp ranges. Over 100 goes red, less than 40 goes blue, all others are green. Edited July 8, 2023 by apostolakisl

I apologize, I guess I don't understand exactly what you are looking for. Mine looks like the below screenshot.
apostolakisl Posted July 8, 2023 Author Posted July 8, 2023 @DennisC You put the day of the forecast as the second line, the variable, I would like the forecast high to be there. So where yours says "Forecast DH Tuesday" I would like it to say "Tuesday Forecast 98" In this case, both "tuesday" and "98" would be variables filled in from the current state of the node. In other words, both line 1 and 2 be able to have variables subbed in.
Javi Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 Hi @apostolakisl, I believe I understand. Custom tiles are on our list but I don't have an ETA. Until I get to full customized tiles, I'll try to add smaller status only Favorite Types (tiles) such as text-value-only and icon-only. So you can have a row for icon, next row for high temp, next row for low temp, ect. Also add ability to remove tile background color. My plan is to allow users to create custom tiles from a favorites screen. So something like the example above would be created on it's own favorites screen then displayed as a single tile on any other favorites screen. 1
apostolakisl Posted July 8, 2023 Author Posted July 8, 2023 @Javi That sounds great. If you could have multiple variables inserted one after the next like in ISY under "email/notifications"/"customizations" that would make the favorites tile pretty much tell you everything you might want to know without opening the tile. In weather for example, day of week/high/low/chance of rain. Example I currently have in ISY Outside ${sys.node.n009_weather.CLITEMP} Inside ${elk.keypad.1.temp}
