Node-red -Using the Control UI Node for Dynamic Dashboards

[@MariaGarcia-ey3fg]

What you had at 0:53 was exactly what I needed. I'll try to get there from your demo. Thank you!

[@upendrachaudhari4635]

thank you for the brief and to the point video

[@BGazzah]

This and the SVG are the only dashboard nodes I had never really used. Good overview of its capabilities and use cases. I can see how I might make use of it now.

Dear Steve, thank you very much for your videos !

[@cryotankexpansion]

I am new to all of this and your tutorials have helped me with SO MUCH! Thank you

Excellent guide, thank you for introducing me to a new facility (to me that is) in Node-Red

Hi Steve, after using the ui control, the side bar is not showing in the dashboard. There is no way I can switch between the tabs in the dashboard. Please help. Tried disabling the flows and deleting the buttons linked to the ui control noode but nothing helps.

[@wilfridschwartz5032]

Concerning the button, after setting the Paylload {} field, is there any other parameter to set ? in my dashboard, i am not able to switch between the 2 tabs i have created, clicking elsewhere in the tab (even on the button) leads to a simple refresh of the tab.... thank you for your help !

[@stevecope]

Not really. It is very easy to mess up the UI with the control Ui node. Just check the button settings even a slight error means that it doesn't work. If you are still stuck contact me via the ask steve page and then you can send me the flow and I'll take a look. stevesnoderedguide.com/ask-steve rgds steve

how to dynamically add a new device to a list of devices in the Node-RED dashboard

[@tsawabiramadhanfariszhafar6455]

Hii Mr. Steve thanks for ur video. But i have a question, how about hide group using dropdown?

[@stevecope]

You can put the same code you use on a button in the payload for the dropdown. If it doesn't let you then feed it into a function node and use the topic to filter it and send the correct payload. Does that make sense

[@josephtanner248]

That looks good. Do you know how to use this with different users and rights? The admin, Andm2, home (guest) should only see its "own GroupItems"?

[@stevecope]

Sorry no I don't. I don't think you can as it stands currently as node-red is single user. You may want to investigate this flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-mdashboard I haven't looked at it yet. Do a search for node-red multi user and there is quite a lot of interest. Again I haven't investigated it but I will eventually.

[@josephtanner248]

@@stevecope Thank you Steve. I will try this.

[@astrogerard]

Thanks, very useful.

[@2ous]

Thanks for this, I'm having trouble with one thing though. You showed how to make a button hide certain groups and show certain groups but what if i want both groups (admin1, admin2) hidden by default on start up and then clicking one of the control buttons make a group show up.

[@stevecope]

Don't know but I will take a look Rgds Steve

[@stevecope]

I just looked at the flow again and the easiest way is to add a node like the reset node that gets triggered on startup and sets the initial display. Does that make sense?

[@renaudstaessens7559]

hi steve first of all thanks a lot for your great tutorials. I see that your dashboards are written in French :) are you french ?. And it looks like what you did with this dashboard is very near from what i d like to implement ( dashboards to see logs, to see and edit parameters, force data refresh...). Up to now i have parameters stored in json files and that could be edited directly and user friendly using dashboard instead of manually editing file. So my question is would it be possible to share code examples for logs/paremeters management ? i saw on your website that you often provide some code download. It would be fantastic but in any case once again a big thank you.

[@stevecope]

Hi No I'm English but I did those for a French person and he translated them. I will take a look through the flows and see what I can extract. Just post a reminder if you don't see anything by early next week.

@@stevecope : hi steve little reminder . I have another question while asking if i may😀 : is it possible to run simultaneously 2 identical http request(i would like to request same http request node but with different parameters to do the jobs in // . if it s possible how to isolate the 2 different execution as i m passing variable using flow context from node to node .

[@stevecope]

Just checking it is the parameters flow at 42 secs?
