Dashboard Dynamic

Revision: 2026-04-06 Minimum build: 17635

Enabling Dashboard Dynamic

Dashboard Dynamic is opt-in per user. To enable it, go to My Profile (top-right menu) and check Use Dynamic Dashboard, then save. The Dashboard menu item will now open the dynamic dashboard instead of the classic one.

Administrators can also enable or disable it for any user via Setup → Users.

Overview

Dashboard Dynamic is a fully modular, drag-and-drop dashboard system for Domoticz. It replaces the fixed-layout classic dashboard with a flexible, personalized workspace where users can freely compose, resize, and arrange widgets to their liking.

Key characteristics:

Per-user persistent layouts stored in the Domoticz database
Multiple named dashboards per user
Real-time device updates via the existing WebSocket (livesocket)
Fully theme-aware using CSS custom properties (--dz-* variables)
Responsive across screen sizes

Getting Started

Navigate to the Dashboard menu item. On first visit, a starter layout is created automatically containing a Clock, Sun Info, and Activity Log widget.

Toolbar (Compact Mode)

In view mode, a small floating pill bar appears in the top-right corner of the page. It contains:

Dashboard name — click to open the switcher dropdown if multiple dashboards exist
Pencil icon — enter Edit Mode
Play icon — start/stop Kiosk mode (visible when 2+ dashboards exist)

The bar fades to 50% opacity when not hovered to stay out of the way.

Edit Mode

Press the pencil button or Ctrl+E to enter Edit Mode. The full toolbar appears at the top:

Button	Action
ⓘ (info icon)	Opens the Dynamic Dashboard wiki page
Dashboard title	Click to rename inline
Dashboards	Switch between dashboards, create a new one, or open Dashboard Settings
Edit	Access layout actions (Set as Default, Export/Import, Duplicate, Delete, Clear)
Done Editing	Save changes and exit edit mode
Add Widget	Open the widget library panel
Save	Manually save current layout
Cancel	Discard unsaved changes (button turns red when there are unsaved changes)

Dashboards dropdown:

Item	Action
(dashboard name)	Switch to that dashboard (prompts to discard unsaved changes if needed)
New Dashboard	Creates a new dashboard with an auto-generated name; rename it via the title field
Dashboard Settings…	Open kiosk and standby settings

Edit dropdown:

Item	Action
Export / Import	Open the export/import dialog
Reset to Favorites	Populate the dashboard from your favorite devices
Set as Default	Mark this dashboard as the default (shown with a checkmark when active)
Duplicate	Clone the current dashboard
Delete	Delete the current dashboard
Clear All Widgets	Remove all widgets from the current dashboard

Keyboard shortcuts:

Ctrl+E — toggle edit mode
Ctrl+S — save layout
Ctrl+L — toggle widget library panel
Escape — close widget library (if open), otherwise exit edit mode; also stops Kiosk mode

Widget Library

Click Add Widget to open the slide-in library panel on the right. Widgets are grouped by category. Use the search box to filter. Click a widget’s + button to add it to the grid.

Widget Actions (Edit Mode)

Each widget shows a header bar in edit mode with:

Drag handle — drag the title bar to reposition
Configure (gear icon) — open widget settings
Duplicate (copy icon) — clone the widget; the clone starts dragging immediately
Remove (× icon) — delete the widget

Resize any widget by dragging the bottom-right corner handle.

Note: All interactive elements inside widget content (buttons, links, inputs) are non-clickable in Edit Mode — only the header chrome buttons (configure, duplicate, remove) remain active. This prevents accidental device control while rearranging the layout.

Managing Dashboards

Multiple Dashboards

Dashboard management is done directly from the Edit Mode toolbar:

Action	How
Create	Dashboards → New Dashboard (auto-names; rename inline)
Rename	Click the dashboard title in the toolbar
Switch	Dashboards dropdown → pick a name
Set as Default	Edit → Set as Default
Duplicate	Edit → Duplicate
Delete	Edit → Delete

Dashboard Settings (Edit → Dashboard Settings… or Dashboards → Dashboard Settings…) contains only the Kiosk and Screen Standby configuration — no layout management.

Kiosk / Auto-Swipe Mode

Automatically cycles through a set of dashboards at a fixed interval — useful for wall tablets and kiosk displays.

Controls:

Play/Stop button in the topbar (visible when 2+ dashboards exist)
Escape key stops kiosk mode
A thin progress bar at the bottom of the screen shows time remaining until the next switch

Settings (in Dashboard Settings → Kiosk section):

Setting	Default	Description
Enable on load	off	Automatically start kiosk when page loads
Interval (seconds)	30	Time to display each dashboard (5–3600)
Loop	on	Return to first dashboard after the last
Dashboards to cycle	all	Check specific dashboards to include; leave all unchecked to cycle all

Settings are saved in browser localStorage (dd_kiosk).

Screen Standby Mode

Dims or blanks the screen after a period of inactivity — prevents burn-in on wall-mounted displays. Any mouse movement, touch, keystroke, or click wakes the screen.

Settings (in Dashboard Settings → Screen Standby section):

Setting	Default	Description
Enable standby	off	Enable inactivity dimming
Inactivity timeout	5 min	Minutes before screen dims (1–60)
Full blackout	off	Completely black screen instead of dimmed
Opacity when dimmed	5%	Screen brightness when dimmed (0–30%)

Settings are saved in browser localStorage (dd_standby).

Export / Import

The Export / Import button opens a modal dialog with two tabs:

Export tab:

Clipboard — generates JSON and lets you copy it to the clipboard for sharing (e.g. in forum posts)
Download — downloads the dashboard as a .json file
Choose to export the current dashboard or all dashboards

The exported JSON includes the Domoticz build revision (domoticzRevision) so recipients know the minimum version needed.

Import tab:

Clipboard — paste JSON directly from the clipboard
File — select a .json file from disk
Choose to import as a new dashboard or replace current
If the imported dashboard was created on a newer Domoticz build, a warning is shown (but import still proceeds)

Energy Dashboard

Category: Energy

Full energy overview widget — combines all cards (Weather, Grid, Solar, Gas, Battery) and the self-sufficiency balance bar in one resizable widget. Lifted directly from forecast.html.

Configuration:

Field	Default	Description
Show weather card	on	Weather conditions
Show solar card	on	Solar power and yield
Show gas card	on	Gas usage
Show battery card	on	Battery status
Show balance bar	on	Self-sufficiency stats
Refresh interval	60s	Seconds between data refresh

Getting a Google Calendar ICS URL: In Google Calendar → Settings → click the calendar → Integrate calendar → copy the Secret address in iCal format (ends in .ics).

Using the Google Calendar JSON API: Requires a public calendar and a Google API key:

https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/{calendarId}/events
  ?key={apiKey}&orderBy=startTime&singleEvents=true&timeMin={now}

The widget auto-detects .ics vs JSON API URLs.

CORS handling: The widget fetches calendar data using a fallback chain:

Direct request (works for CORS-friendly URLs)
Domoticz server-side proxy (json.htm?type=command&param=fetchurl&url=<encoded>) — avoids CORS entirely for any URL reachable from the Domoticz server
Public CORS proxies (corsproxy.io / codetabs) as last resort

A helpful error message is shown if all methods fail.
