Using a galaxy tab 3 with zooper widget for custom icons.
also thanx to jaoapps, i have voicecontroll over all my telldus devices.

Awesome!

Would you be willing to share your Tasker-profiles?

Looks very good! I too plan on using a wall mounted android tablet for my home automation and have been looking for some kind of GUI. Zooper looks interesting, do you think you could explain a little how you did it?

ofc.

none of my tasks are advanced. but is it any particular task u want to see or want help with?

zooper widget is plug and play, just place a empty boxwidget, tap the widget, set a bmp picture and tell the widget what tasker task to run. smoothe and easy, and im a big n00b so anyone can do it.

That bit sounds simple. I am looking to create a whole-house dashboard, something similar to this:

Would it be possible with zooper? Or do you see any obstacles?

I haven't received my tablet yet, and I'm an ios user so there is no way for me to experiment by myself yet.
Just some things I've been wondering about:

- Is it instantaneous, or is there a delay from the moment you push, seeing the numerous steps/apps involved(zooper -> tasker -> remotestick -> tellstick net)?

- Is there a possibility to get "feedback", e.g.. When pushed the widget "button" changes/lights up?

- how can one solve the use of dimmers? Is there a way to make a slider of some sort?

-Can you go fullscreen? edge to edge, and get rid of the other android interface?

Others may feel free to answer also.

initial yes that would be possible and prob easy to do.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
ANSWER: there is about 1 second delay (nothing that bothers)
---------------------------------------------------------------------

- Is there a possibility to get "feedback", e.g.. When pushed the widget "button" changes/lights up?
---------------------------------------
- Yes (i havent experimented with this though) ive seen others that make the button a lighter colour upon change.
this bit is a bit more tricky and requires you to learn aout toggle variables in tasker.
---------------------------------------

- how can one solve the use of dimmers? Is there a way to make a slider of some sort?
- This i dont think, this i have no ide about. sorry
------------------------------------------------

-Can you go fullscreen? edge to edge, and get rid of the other android interface?
ANSWER there is an app that removes the top bar , so yes.

PS. when it comes do dimmers i think its possible.


" a zooper widget " can have multiple pictures within a widget that does different things.

that means " + " within a widget can probably do a (increas light a bit task) whilst "- " within the picture can do a "decreas light" command.

this is up to tasker, is it possible to do a incrase command in tasker?

but zooper widget works with that.


......................

what im NOT that good at (personallY) is havin zooper widget show values from temperatures and stuff. I know its possible but i havent fiddled with that stuft yet.

How is it possible to send actions to the controller from tanker? I have a Znet Lite. Is it possible. Care to explain for a noob?
Nice job btw!

the tasker plugin "remotestic" sends commands from tasker to telldus lite.

so in zooper widget i place a tasker task.

in the tasker action i place remotestick plugin.

thx. np!

I’m trying to make a zooper widget button that’s toggling a remotestick device on/off in tasker, but can’t seem to get the hang of it. How did you make your buttons toggleable Rippmaster13?
Can you show me your Tasker setup?

I figured out what the problem was, I made an IF statement that checked the status of the device variable and forgot that remotestick has and update interval of device status set to standard 30min.

Now the toggle checks device status then switches to on/off accordingly. But that only works every minute because that's the minimum of the remotestick update interval. Did you use a local variable rippmaster13?

I managed to get zooper to show sensor values in a widget. If you or anyone else want me to show how just let me know.

Next, I've been thinking about making a button dim up or down a device. What do you guys Think about this setup:

DimUp task:
IF "variableDimlevel" eq 20%
-> Remotestick dim to 30%
AND set variable "variableDimlevel" to 30%
END IF

DimDown task:
IF "variableDimlevel" eq 30%
-> Remotestick dim to 20%
AND set variable "variableDimlevel" to 20%
END IF

Assign each to a + and - on a zw button to dim up or down a device?
