ThingsplexUI version 1.0.8 is out

[alivinco]

It’s been a while since the last release, nevertheless, the new version is out and available in Playgrounds or in Github. It comes along with a new documentation page - https://thingsplex.github.io/docs/thingsplex-ui/ . The documentation is not complete yet (very early version) but might be useful for some users already.

ThingsplexUI changelog :

• Added configurable user authentication - https://thingsplex.github.io/docs/thingsplex-ui/installation.html#sign-up
• Added configuration and local address lookup over Playgrounds - https://thingsplex.github.io/docs/thingsplex-ui/installation.html#futurehome-gateway
• Many usability improvements and bugfixes. For instance, Trigger and Action configuration now are more intuitive.
• Bug fixes
• Added Time filter node, Rate limiting and Wait for event nodes. Requires the latest flow engine (tpflow) that will be released later this week or early next week.

Thanks, this will be very helpful for new users

Great improvements - well done! Looks like you’re doing a good job picking and eliminating the early annoyances (lack of documentation, bugs, complexity of setting time-based conditions etc.) so this should surely attract more users into the Thingsplex universe - even the style is refurbished

@alivinco how do I get access to custom settings mentioned here? https://thingsplex.github.io/docs/thingsplex-ui/flow/
Is the intention to standardise flows, for different devices?

Also may I suggest to incorporate compact view for Flows, or alternatively grouping them in tabs? With 35+ flows, scrolling to find a specific flow can be quite tedious, especially when they are set up to counteract and work together…

The idea behind settings is to have configurable flows. Currently, settings be edited in ThingsplexUI but cant’ be added, in order to add settings, a user has to modify flow. For instance :

"Settings": {
    "dev.address": {
      "Value": "36",
      "ValueType": "string"
    },
    "dev.prod.hash": {
      "Value": "zw_773_768_117",
      "ValueType": "string"
    },
    "dev.tech": {
      "Value": "zw",
      "ValueType": "string"
    }
  },

Here you can see hot to use settings from different places in the flow, for instance in trigger it can be used to set configurable address : pt:j1/mt:evt/rt:dev/rn:zw/ad:1/sv:scene_ctrl/ad:{{setting "dev.address"}}_0

Currently, settings can be used in Triggers , Actions and Transformations. You can read more here :

https://thingsplex.github.io/docs/thingsplex-ui/flow/nodes/triggers.html#advanced-mode.

Regarding the compact view, it’s a good idea and I’ll think about it.
