Dashboard Theming (Custom CSS) and Mounting Hardware Ideas

Someone else mentioned the idea and I decided to create it. Thanks to @625alex we have a very sweet dashboard. However I want to see others ideas on themes or CSS code they implemented for their setup. Maybe even mounting ideas.

Smartthings Running on Wink Relay

While this is my “proof of concept” I can verify that Smartthings can run on the Wink Relay. The next steps in this project will be to load a clean (non-Wink) version of Android on the Relay and set Smartthings as the default app that launches at boot. Thought I would share a taste though so others can jumpstart efforts to assist with the next steps. Here is the video: https://vimeo.com/157390074

Home Automation Dashboard (HAD)

All the lights in my house are controllable through SmartThings, but not all of them are wired up to wall switches. I do have a bunch of floor and table lamps, which are hooked up to GE receptacles and plug-in lamp modules. It’s a bit of a PITA to have to bend down to actuate the modules. Whipping out my phone to launch the SmartThings Mobile app to control the lights can be cumbersome and slow, and I’m not a big fan of the idea of having physical remotes floating around the house.

Open source community created dashboard solution Open-Dash.com - Alpha Version in Testing

I am willing to head up a group of talented open source developers to create the best dashboard solution for SmartThings. Let’s put together a great team that can build the best free dashboard solution based on open source principles. If you are a UI, UX, coder, back end admin, CSS HTMl, beta tester, or just want to help, let me know. If there is enough interest in the community, I’ll put together the resources needed to get this project started.

UPDATE: I’ve created the website https://open-dash.com and the preliminary name Open-Dash for this project, open to better domain names and project names, but it was available Also, started the github repo off…

FAQ: Affordable Hardware Dashboard

Here are the parts I used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/product/B00TSUGXKE/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V2HL4Y6/ http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IG05402/?psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L57L164 (NOTE: Amazon no longer supplies the DigiYes unit with the offset connector I used. The middle connector positions the unit further to the side. Make sure you get a 1000mA unit. Results seem to be hit or miss.) http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51wtO2j97sL.SL1000.jpg Pay special attention to order the correct QI model with the correct position. You want the Micro USB port in the left side of bottom - Narrow side upwards, Wide side downwards.
