Share your GUI

Share your GUI here! What lay-out do you use, which devices. What rules to connect sensors and switches? And why?

To start, this is pimatic at home.

And i’m currently working on a more advanced pimatic system in a industrial building. with several heatings, electronic doors, mood lightning, work lightning, several sensors.

Nice idea !!

Here are some exymples of my GUI :

First the page for temperatures and heating. At the above section there are four weahter sensors that measure temps at different rooms in the house. below is the weather plugin and another weather station. at the bottom section you can see the max-plugin for controlling my radiators.

the next page is for my photovoltaic and energy measuring

Here at the first section you can see the pimatic logreader plugin in action, the “Photovoltaik Energiemonitor”. The logfile from my photovoltaic inverter is created by a cronjob that uses a program called sbfspot. Then I grep it and use the logreader plugin to create this device. The device shows the actual production of 24Watt, a daily production of 2,7 KW and an overall production of 14144 KW.
On the right side you can see the ping plugin that is watching the photovoltaic inverter. I also created a rule to send me a pushover message when the inverter has no LAN connection anymore : "IF SMA inverter is offline THEN push title:“SMA inverter is offline” message:“The photovoltaics inverter is offline. Please check immediately!” priority:1
Below the SMA ping plugin you can see the Sunrise/Sunset time for the actual day. This is also a logreader device, created from a logfile also from the pv-inverter. It’s of no special use, just for information, since i use sunrise or sunset in rules for my shutter devices to control my blinds (another page but not that interesting I think

The next section is the “Energiezähler”. This is more complicated then it looks like!
Here I’m using the volkszaehler-plugin to gather information from my energy meters in the basement. I’m having another pi down there which has IR-D0 USB devices connected to read-out the energy meters directly. These information are stored at the database from the software called “Volkszaehler” (http://www.volkszaehler.org). From there I am getting the values with the volkszaehler-plugin into pimatic. The values “Stromverbrauch24h” andEigenverbrauch24h" are the total energy consumption counted from 0.oo o’clock for 24h then) and the energy that we consumed from the produced energy for ourselfs. what’s missing is the total infeed for this day. I will add it later.
Those both values are calculated by two rules, some variables that i created and to visualize i used the variables device.

the last section is showing the fritz-plugin in action with a Fritz DECT200 power plug. This device is able to shut on or off via DECT signals sent from the Fritz Router and also measures power consumption of the device that is plugged in. At the moment I’m checking my laptop
It’s not cheap but very effective!

This Page shows an excerpt my network dashboard

First there’s a buttons device for shutting down or rebooting the pi or to restart the pimatic service. For that there are rules again to get this to work like "IF button-pimatic-restart is pressed THEN execute “sudo service pimatic restart”.
The other three devices are the systemsensor devices.
Below you can see our mobile phones, checked via the ping-plugin.

the next interesting thing is this little device

This is controlling a little wlan device for switching a LED stripe located behind my TV. Some kind of “mood light”. Yo can switch it on by clicking on red green or blue button or switch it off.
For this I used the buttons device and a few rules. The buttons device is triggering a rule that uses the pimatic-shellexecute plugin : IF button-wifi370-red is pressed THEN execute “sudo node /home/pi/node-light-wifi370/red.js”. This rule triggers a javascript file that switches the LED controler to red. This I also made for the other buttons. If you are interested, check this git issue here : pimatic/pimatic#348 . Icesory said, he’s working on a plugin. Let’s wait and see if he’s able to adapt this device to pimatic

Well if there are any suggestions or questions feel free to ask

So you are using a temperature sensor to measure the room and control the heating with it? Is that working great? Does it fail sometimes?

I’m working on a system in a industrial building with 2 rooms that have to be controlled by temperature (ordered that WS0002) and 4 sections in the working place to enable/disable the direct heating. Like this.

http://cl.ly/image/2x2W1H35243e/Schermafbeelding 2015-01-24 om 15.53.36.png (how do i post the image directly?)

yes, i’m using these WS0002 devices.
They work very well and are relatively precise.
The only thing to worry about is the RF “traffic” they produce.
But they are cheap and easy to install to pimatic.

you can post images like this :

the first bracket is the alternative text, the next bracket shows the adress where it’s at.
and don’t forget the ! as first character.

i’ll test some things and will do a “howto” page i guess.

How often do they send a rf message?

every 30 sec

@sweebee I like the idea with the unicode star I maybe add it to the default config.

@leader21 Wow, 5 minuten Should be enough. Hope it doesnt affect the rest to Much.

@sweetpi yea, i added the icons because on a small screen you cant see text with 4 or more pages.

Got the 2 ws0002 sensors but i found out they aren’t very accurate. there is always 0,8-1 difference between them. So i had to calibrate them (in pimatic). Now i have 0-0,3 difference.

Hi,
nice GUI!
How can i change the language for the weather data? my preferred language is german, too
thanks for your help.

@dk00000

{
      "id": "forecast",
      "class": "WeatherForecastDevice",
      "name": "Country, Germany",
      "location": "Country, Germany",
      "degreeType": "C",
      "lang": "de-DE",
      "timeout": 3600000,
      "day": 1
    }

i’m using this

thanks. it works perfect.

here is my current GUI, at the moment everything still fits into 1 page, but sooner or later I will have to split.

@Ralf-H how do you get "Bargeld im Portemonnaie"
Can you share data of this sensor?

@Icesory

sure.
but I have to disappoint you, it’s not really a sensor. I made a Tasker scene for quick inputs from my lockscreen.
Tasker keeps a variable, and as soon as it changes, it will also get published to pimatic. Additionally, I got a NFC tag inside my purse, and when I put my phone there it says how much is in there. This also works when display is off.
Here’s how the scene looks:

@Ralf-H
Which app do you use to make the locksreen possible?
Nice idea

@fabikrauss

The lockscreen is C locker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccs.lockscreen_pro&hl=de

@ RalfH:
I’m very impressed of your GUI and the possibility to control such different things.
may you could post here your configuration. would be very kind.
thanks a lot

@Ralf-H how do you get the traffic stats, the sunrise and the spotify control? i only know the shell workaround for sunrise so far…
thx!

@sweebee how do I have to enter the unicode for the black star as page name?
