What Module To Create

Post by Erasmuz »

I got my Razberry about a month ago and have been creating a custom dashboard to get the features, but soon realized there's quite a bit of ToDo's when starting from scratch, so I've decided to hopefully help out the community with some recipe's.

The stuff I've done thus far is all written in python so I'll be doing a re-write in node.js (and will probably be picking the devs brains off and on :) ), but here is what I've got (only displaying several of my z-wave devices, and a clean slate on the meter readings)...

I would like some feedback on which module to begin first.
Options are:

Meter graphing
- I would like to add to the home automation ui the ability to click on a meter widget and display a graph as shown, and give the last 5 data points or so on the widget. I've found that there's already a way to save data from the widgets to JSON, so I'll probably utilize this.

Server Stats:
- Not sure if this will be possible in Node, but the realtime graph I have showing the stats (memory and cpu consumption) of my raspberry has been useful on a few occasions already

HoneyWell wi-fi Thermostat Integration:
- I have this thermostat and want to integrate it with the HomeAutomation UI. Not sure how popular these thermostats are, but if several others own them as well and want to see this done I wouldn't mind starting in on it.

If any of these are done please let me know. I've dug around the 2.0.0 rc 22 a bit to make sure I'm not re-inventing the wheel, but I could have missed something.
If there's something else I can help out with that people would like to see done, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Side note: Awesome work on the UI stuff devs. Thanks!

Great ideas!

HoneyWell wi-fi Thermostat Integration: I suggest to do it as a module of the backend, so it will be in UI like other Z-Wave devices and can be used in automation rules like other devices.

As for Meter graphing, we think of it in future versions (we plan it for v2.1.0). The backend will store data for few days and provide an API to get these data from the server. If you can help in creating good grpahical widgets, would be cool!

We are using react in our Home Automation UI.
