New Plugin - pimatic-floorplan

---

Pimatic is known for its powerful functional ui. To get an extra more graphical ui option I created this Floorplan plugin. You can use it to create floorplans or dashboards.

This plugin adds a gui option to create 1 or more floorplan devices, for viewing and controlling existing pimatic devices. The concept is as follows:

• Colors for state info (on/off, present/absent, etc)
• Scalable Vector Graphics (svg) as graphical base for a floorplan
• Manual adding of devices that are used/shown on the floorplan.
• Free choice of shapes for background and the pimatic devices, as long as they are linked to pimatic and can be given a color!
• The supported devices are: switch, presence, contact, light, button, sensor (text/value display), sensor_bar, sensor_gauge and camera.
• The states of an on/off switch, open/close contact, light, push/release button and present/absent presence sensor are all presented via colors. The colors are configurable. The light will color depending on the color of the device its connected to.
• Attribute values can be shown via the sensor field. Optional you can add the acronym and unit of the used device.

Create a svg floorplan with a background of the room(s) your want to ‘floorplan’ and add graphics for the devices you want to use. A good and free program for this is inkscape. The floorplan svg files must be places in the ‘public’ folder of pimatic-mobile-frontend.

For more information and instructions

This is the first release of the plugin. Please use it and report results, bugs and request.

Hey,
nice and long requested plugin will installed it as fast as I find time to do!

Many thanks for this!

I’m still working on the way the ui should work.
I use colors for state changes and when you click on an object the state & color changes. But this kind of behaviour for switch, presence, light, etc is still under construction and ideas are welcome.

The plugin is called floorplan and the well known floorplan approach can be used.

but its not limited to floorplans, you can make a thermostat

or a lamp

or a temperature sensor ‘aquarium’ style

or a temperature gauge

or a shutter

or a camera for streaming or image

You can use any svg graphics to build custom ‘floorplan’ devices for viewing and controlling pimatic.

See github for more information.

Dear bertreb,

I’m using Pimatic already few years and was missing a floorplan like your plugin. In my holiday vacation at home I had time to play around with your plugin and had some good results as you can see on the attached pictures. .
I manage to get the Aqara Zigbee temperatures, door/windows sensors and Sonoff Plug via Mqtt working. I will now continue to play around and test your plugin.

Thanks and best regards
Johann
