Send text message to dashboard

Thanks for the detail on this, and glad to hear it was resolved with logging back in. Can you try deleting and re-creating one of the triggers and see if that makes it start working again? My apologies if the recent update broke the existing ones.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but still getting server error and Error loading data pretty much all the time. And sometimes the devices dashboard keeps on refreshing for a while and then fails to load. Not being able to use the app at all.

Seems to be working again. I switched off the device (NodeMCU) and did a restart in the browser and seems to be working again. Will post if anything changes…

Well, the android App is back again failing to display any widgets, all gone. Please fix it or revert to previous working version.

This sounds like it’s still related to our recent couple of downtimes (one planned, one unexpected) in the last 2 days. If the widgets are still there when you log in on the web, then its just a matter of getting the app to read them back in.

You shouldn’t have to do this, but try force stopping the app from your Android’s Application Manager, then tapping ‘Clear Data’. You’ll need to re-enter your login details, but that sure ensure that its pulling the very latest from our server.

Your issue sounds different than whats been discussed here. I suspect it might be something on your dashboard which the Android app isn’t handling well. Do you mind sharing your account login/password via private message with me, so I can reproduce on our test Android devices and look for a bug with our engineers?

Hi there,
Just wanted to touch base on the timeline for the text widget… It’s been
several weeks now, hopefully sooner?

Thanks for your time

The latest information I have has the new widgets grouped into 2 categories, the ones we’re expecting sooner are:

  • Meter
  • Open / Close
  • Motion
  • CO2 Detector
  • 2 State with emoji/text
  • Status with emoji/text
  • Tank level
  • Smoke
  • Proximity
  • Video
  • Battery
  • Signal Strength

I’d expect those in Q1 2017, and another batch, which will likely contain the ‘Text’ widget, in Q2 2017.

I should add for completeness that while I didn’t know it at the time of the post I’m replying to, we’ve since found that “Server Error” / “Error Loading” and blank Arduino dashboards in the Android app are all symptoms of the same issue. So I don’t think that @soubir’s issue is different anymore.

Testing on the Android app to fix this is going well and we’re planning an Android release for Monday to resolve this issue.

Hi.
I was wondering if the Text widget ever made release stage?
Cheers.

Hi @techcentre,

Not yet, but it IS coming!

~B

So longer than a year now?? :stuck_out_tongue: I really need this for my project and the API :slight_smile:

any ideas on when its going to be released?

It’s still in the roadmap as the second batch of widgets. We are about to release 4 new widgets, so text widget will be handled next :slight_smile: As for the timeline, that is always the golden question. Within a month hopefully!

So no Text Widget yet? Will it be implemented at all?

Hi @Triumfas the Test widget is on the roadmap and will be implemented once we have other issue solved with cayenne.

Hello,
when will a text idget be available?
Pavel

not so soon.

So, another bump. I can’t find a widget that will do text displays on the dashboard and no work-arounds on the forum.

Are we still waiting for this ?

this feature will not be added.
