Returns and bulk requests

Hello @Hizo! Back from vacation, I’m responding to your message. Thanks for this super complete feedback!

@Hizo

Allow the modification of the icon of the scenes once created (we can rename them but not change the icon).

I agree, it’s a shortcoming!

@Hizo

Allow duplicating scenes so as not to recreate everything from scratch when we have very close scenes.

Yes too, I think there’s already a feature request for that, and I agree!

@Hizo

Specify the device that triggered the scene when there are multiple possible triggers.

What do you mean?

@Hizo

Automatically retrieve the value of the device when it is active (it would save time and be more user-friendly).

What do you mean?

@Hizo

Add a button to insert an action (between two others already defined) so as not to redo everything if you missed one in the scene.

Are you talking from an « aesthetic » point of view? Adding actions in the same action group does not change the order of execution, all actions in an action group are executed in parallel, so I see little interest

@Hizo

Add a comment field.
It would be possible to create blocks with the title of your choice and put what you want without taking into account the location

Why not! Can you create a feature request for that?

@Hizo

Allow modifying the value of another device?

I think you are talking about this:

Contrôle des périphériques multilevel dans les scènes

Cette fonctionnalité étant assez crucial effectivement, et assez simple à développer, j’ai avancé son développement malgré le fait qu’elle ait peu de votes J’ai travaillé dessus hier après-midi et ce matin: Contrôle d’un périphérique multilevel [Screenshot 2021-07-15 at 11.20.39] Contrôle d’un périphérique couleur [Screenshot 2021-07-15 at 11.20.58] Contrôle d’une température de lampe [Screenshot 2021-07-15 at 11.31.36] Contrôle d’un périphérique binaire [Screenshot 2021-07…

I developed it this summer, and it’s going in the next release

@Hizo

Allow creating blocks with custom titles.

On which dashboard box would you see this for example?

Each box has a meaningful title (device in the room = the name of the room), and when it makes sense (ex: the camera box), you can already customize the title.

@Hizo

Allow mixing devices in blocks (ex: I want to gather the status of the windows in a single block).

Are you talking about a « device » box across rooms? That’s not stupid Can you make a feature request for that?

@Hizo

Allow simply enlarging the size of the blocks (not nice when there are line breaks or horizontal scroll bars) (is it possible to modify the css files? If yes, where are they?).

I think we just need to remove the limit, I put them because at the time we couldn’t select the devices we wanted to display I think (it displayed everything)

I’m just going to remove the limit.

We already have a github issue for that:

https://github.com/GladysAssistant/Gladys/issues/1206

@Hizo

• Allow exporting and reimporting configs (even if more complicated than in version plus) because I want to reformat my raspberry and I will have to start all over again. So if there is a way to save the config I am interested!

You go to the folder where you saved your configuration (look at the Docker volume you put)

By default on the site we put everything in « /var/lib/gladysassistant »

In this folder there is an SQLite folder: it’s Gladys’s DB that contains all your configuration, you can set it aside

The only thing that won’t be kept is the additional containers like Zigbee2mqtt, we don’t have a process to restart from the DB and rebuild these containers, but it would be worth it to be able to manage that

@Hizo

PS: I am on version 4.3.1, the update via docker does not seem to work

If you took the watchtower command on the site, we force the update every 24 hours (it’s intentional, so that not everyone updates at the same time, it makes releases that spread over 24 hours. We made this choice also because Docker has limits on their unauthenticated API)

Thanks again for your feedback!
