Anyone using Simple Control?

[Keo (Joe)]

Hi all,

I am not a graphic designer, nor do I understand CSS. I am trying to find a simple user interface to control my lights and see the status of my devices. I also want the interface to run locally so Action Tiles is out. I have used iRule, but recently it’s been announced that new development on the software is no longer happening. This has me concerned that the software may be discontinued so I purchased simple control. Unfortunately they don’t have a way to display all of my device states. So I thought I may be able to develop something to reflect the device states as a feedback from SmartThings.

Is anyone using Simple Control or do you have other locally running services that has an easy to use configuration interface?

@kewashi Ken Washington is developing a new UI that runs on your own local raspberry pi.

Announcing HousePanel Control Panel [Alpha]

Hi good people!!! Update Dec 3, 2017 HousePanel Beta 1.0 Released under the Open-Dash brand with installation and operation documentation in the following new thread: All updates and discussion will now be tracked in that thread. Remainder of this post is retained for historical purposes. Update: Back end groovy code now available on GitHub here: Update July 15, 2017 : Front-end php and js code required to use and is now open to all ST community users for beta testing here: Install instructions are here: https://kewashi.github.io/hpanel-server/ and in the docs folder of the repo. This still has some rough edges, so beta testing only recommended if you’re ready for a few bumps in the road. Strongly recommend installing on a local RPi server, but it will work equally well …

While I understand no interface can run totally local, my configuration has many hue bulbs which I can adjust via the hue API. The response time is significantly faster. I don’t need all of the devices to run locally, just my bulbs. The cloud response time does not pass WAF.
