Hello everyone!
Today, we are releasing Gladys Assistant 4.46, a new version that focuses on dashboards, thanks to several PRs proposed by @Terdious
It’s a very solid update, so congrats to him for all the hard work
Choosing the number of columns
You can now choose how many columns are displayed on a dashboard, allowing you to have a 1, 2, or 3-column layout:
This enhancement allows you to display a chart or a camera image at full screen width!
Binary sensor history
For all binary sensors (motion detectors, door opening detectors), you can now view their history on the dashboard:
A small tooltip shows the on/off periods:
Edit the name of a sensor on a chart
You can now edit the name of a device on a chart:
This will make some charts more readable when devices are all of the same type
Calendar: Saving the last display choice
The “calendar” view in Gladys now saves your last filter choice:
If you had selected “Week,” the calendar will open directly in the week view.
This preference is saved locally on the device, so each browser will remember your last preference.
Thanks to @bertrandda for this development
Improvement to the Gladys Plus re-connection process
I have updated the library we use for websockets in Gladys Plus and implemented new reconnection procedures.
I’ve also added new logs during the disconnection/reconnection of Gladys to Gladys Plus.
The goal of this development is to help @guim31, who is currently experiencing issues with his local network and often loses connection between his local Gladys and the Gladys Plus server.
The full CHANGELOG is available here.
How to upgrade
If you have installed Gladys with the official Raspberry Pi OS image, your instances will update automatically in the next few hours. This can take up to 24 hours, so don’t panic.
If you installed Gladys with Docker, check that you are using Watchtower (See the documentation )
