Hi

How hard would it be (or is it possible at all) to make widgets for android/IOS?
For example to lights, temperatures etc.
It takes a long time to open the browser, then login, then use the GUI.

Thanks!
Mark

Any news about this topic?
Just a remark: Dietpi has an inbuilt option to make the filesystem only readable.

@jkandasa any news?

@jkandasa Did you have time to think about this?

@jkandasa I think in these cases blockly would be very useful.
Have you tried Domoticz before? It has blockly, and making the above mentioned algorithems with it are such an easy job.

@jkandasa Thanks Jeeva!

@jkandasa I see.
I made a simple version where the blockly makes javascript as output, then I can run it, and it performs the task, but it is manual and done by the front-end.
I would like to make an extra menu, next to the rules menu.
It would work like the same, first there is a list, you can enable/disable or add/edit.
Then the rule edit will be the blockly page. Click save and it makes a script file in the resources folder.
Then the back end would perform each script if enabled.

Or the second idea is to hide the operations and conditions menus. So when blockly makes the output, it will split into condition and operation, automatically saving them to the corresponding places. I think this idea needs less recoding/modifications to work.

I think with this graphical interface people would use this with more confidence then the current method. Also would be easier to expand with additional functions instead of the need to use scripts.

What do you think Jeeva?

@jkandasa Thank you!
As I saw there are 2 different kind of script defined at the rules page. Operation and Condition.
I guess at the backend loop it checks every condition and if it's true it will perform the operation.
Is it possible to make a script with blockly(condition and operation in one script), save as a script file, then use them as condition?

Hi everyone!
How difficult would it be to integrate Blockly as a more use friendly way to make rules?
Something like blockly would make a javascript code as a result then added to rules list.
How would you start to implement this?

Thank you!
Best regards,
Mark
