WebThings UI for EGW Gateway
Posted: Tue Apr 19, 2022 3:36 am
The WebThings Gateway Add-On is completed and available as a standard interface.
Thank you to Tim Hellhake from codecentric AG for developing and testing the driver and supporting the WebThings development.
If you already have an L2-EGW1 gateway, you can buy an extra memory card and follow the instructions for installing WebThings here:
https://webthings.io/docs/gateway-getti ... guide.html
Install the add-on:
Check the Settings | Developer | Internal Logs if unsuccessful. Try installing it again if it fails once.
Refresh the logs ans you should see it finding devices already.
Scan for new devices from the main Things Page:
Control on/off by clicking on the device to toggle.
Adjust the level by clicking on the Thing Icon above the device and use slider to adjust level:
Set a scene level:
If this is a new scene number, Scan for Devices to see the scene appear and allow name to be set:
It's a good idea to not change L2-DM ID numbers after configuring the UI as it will not track the changes. You can always delete unused Things and re-scan for devices if an ID changes.
Contact Derek if you would like this installed in Docker on your existing EGW.
