DIY Smart Home Guy creates how-to videos for smart home automation centered around Z-Wave and Zigbee devices. Review videos are generally centered around Hubitat Elevation, SmartThings and Vera. I personally run Hubitat as my primary smart hub, however I do test products on the hubs mentioned. I understand that a home automation hub is not a path for everyone. I chose this path because I am a firm believer is advanced automation and local control.

UPDATE FOR HUBITAT C-5 USERS I've de-mothballed by C-5. For me, Option 1 (ezeek) does not work, but Option 2 (manually injecting the code into the JSON) does work. If you're reporting a problem, please let me know which OS you are using (Windows, iOS, or Android), and the Browser. This will allow for more testing.

HELP! Your steps are amazing! I was tracking with you perfectly until 8:00. When I selected Drag and Drop, then Attribute, then Javascript then Add Tile. My little tile gets added but does NOT disappear, and I get no paw! This is a brand-new install for me. I am on a PC and I am running the latest version of the app. Any ideas?

@DIYSmartHomeGuy1 8 ай бұрын

I have a couple of dashboards with battery widgets that do that. Do you have any batteries on the dashboard. If not, tell me what widget types you have and I’ll try to replicate.

There should be three factors that influence this working or not. Browser, JavaScript security settings, and OS. Operating system being the least likely. I use Chrome (mostly) and will test this in FF. Will post if I figure something out.

It took a while to figure out on my setup. Battery widgets seems to break it. There may be others also. You can try changing certain widgets to see if that fixes.

@@DIYSmartHomeGuy1 Thanks for the reply. But I have no widgets installed. This was actually one of the first things I installed on my new Hubitat C8. I am starting to move to Hubitat from my VeraPlus, and man, I am going to miss the HomeWave iOS app for Vera (by Ronald In 't Velt). I use this app everyday, amazing. Love it. Trying to make a similar "Dashboard" for my iPhone with the stock Dashboard maker for Hubitat (I've given up on Drag n' Drop). Not the worst thing (now that I made the buttons smaller), but I can see I'll miss the HomeWave app.

OMG! Clunky to get established but how is not a feature directly built in. Honestly the only reason I don't suggest Hubitat when people ask for suggestions on a smart home hub is due to the dashboard. This is amazing!

@@DIYSmartHomeGuy1 gracias por responder y en español, no hacía falta porque usaba el traductor. Así como comentaste no entendemos porque no avanzan en eso, hasta sonoff con su Ihost tiene una mejor interface. Yo tengo mi empresa de casa inteligente y estoy implementado Hubitat en mis proyecto, ha sido una montaña rusa y de verdad que gracias a la comunidad es que uno saca esto adelante. Mi elección de Hubitat es porque es un sistema fácil de configurar , es local y el costo es menor y es lo que le ofrezco a los clientes sin quebrarle el bolsillo con control 4 o algo similar.
