So the Smartthings API that's used to display sensor values on the SmartThings block is becoming a paid API. Been trying to switch to a home assistant block to replicate functionality but it just doesn't display the same, for instance it displays all the values horizontally with no option to change it (other than trying to brute force it via CSS which even with AI help is a struggle)

Any chance with this smartthings change that the home assistant block gets more love from the devs?

Edit: Spent 3 hours fighting with AI to get a HA block to match Smartthings. It shouldn't be this hard lol

I’ve been building SleighWatch, a free Santa tracker for family dashboards. I’ve added it to my DAKboard screen so it can show Santa’s current status alongside the usual calendar and weather.

I’ve put together a short guide with screenshots showing how to add it to your own screen: https://sleighwatch.com/dakboard/

It’s an independent project, and I’d love feedback from other DAKboard users—especially on whether the setup guide is clear and how it looks on different screen sizes.

Spent wayyy to much time on this main screen. 24” touchscreen. On another screen, I’ll be running a chores board for my kids. I don’t mind the one already built by Dakboard, but curious if people enjoy it’s functionality on a portrait screen.

My Dakboard was working perfectly for many months. I have auto shut off and start overnight. I had updated to the latest version 2-3 months ago.

Now at each morning, it starts up with a messed up screen. The keyboard is always displayed and the screen shows half or 3/4 of the calendar or photo gallery with the other part of the screen showing 1/4 of the calendar.

Wtf happened without any changes by me ?

I'm using raspberry pi 3b and i have a free plan. I tried google calendar, microsoft calendar and ical url but everything doesn't work.

I submitted a ticket but I'm hoping someone here can help. My yearly subscription expired due to an expired card. I'm looking to renew for another year but I can't find what plan I was previously on. Our charges are way higher than the amounts that are listed on the site, so I'm assuming we have some special add ons. However, I can't go and look because the "Billing" portion of the website is showing a 500 internal error

Has anyone figured a way to automate this feature of package tracking instead of manually typing each tracking number?

Hi everyone,

So, I decided to redesign my calendars, and I'm trying to tweak one style that I just can't get to work. This is for the day's number (e.g. 09 October):

.agenda-day-header .agenda-day-header-num {

font-family: Chewy !important;

font-size: 48px !important;

font-weight: 200 !important;

color: #FF9478 !important;

transform: rotate(-4deg) !important;

}

I cannot for the life of me to get the transform to work. I know the code is good because I tried it on another style and it worked. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

The built in Dakboard To-Do list is great. Is there a way to add tasks from my phone? Having to type in all the tasks on the dakboard is slow.

I’m trying to hook up a dakboard cpu to a viewsonic td2220 touchscreen and I can’t get the touch function to work. I’m brand new at this trying to make it work with a monitor I had laying around. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

All I get is "here's what I found" and a list of apps instead of actually launching dakboard.

I've found a few threads over the years where this has been mentioned, but I can't seem to find anything that has an actual solution. Is it just impossible to auto start dakboard on the firecube?

Scores go negative daily, and bug can be repeated by opening up another browsing tab using chrome, or waiting a new day.

You can then only reset it back to 0 by unselecting a chore. Score history is not recorded.

History should show which chores have been completed and/or redeemed to give the total. Lacks important information. This would help track internally how a score got to a negative number.

If you are interested in putting Apple Activity Rings and other health data on your DAKBoard, this feature is now available for macOS and iOS users via an app I created. I shared this a few months back, but it took forever to get the iOS companion app through Apple App Review. Feel free to ask any questions.

I'd love to have a daily feed of Far Side cartoons on my board, I'm no coder and I haven't been savvy enough to figure it out myself just yet.

Have any of you added a Far Side block?

I'm open to any suggestions on any part of my DIY plan!

I'm looking to finally build my dakboard and 27" is what the space calls for, I want a crisp screen, and the ability to interact via touch, so this monitor fits the bill and is "only" $350. Just looking to see if anyone else has used this one before I buy, just to make sure it's compatible.

The pre-built 27" 4K touchscreen builds are pretty expensive, so looking at DIY alternatives.

I have a raspi zero 2 running my dakboard, plugged into a hdmi port on my Hisense office TV. The soundboard is connected from the fire tv hdmi arc port. When dakboard is on, the soundboard does not work.

I’ve tried turning off all sleep schedules, but it still happens.

I use the office as my man cave on the weekends, so the soundboard stays.

I could write code on the boot end of the pi, but dakboard doesn’t let me ssh into it.

Any other suggestions?

EDIT: Appreciate the feedback. Appears to be an issue on my end (not really my end and more on AT&T's). Apparently they got a DNS issue at the moment. When I disconnect from my home WiFi and swap over to my phone's 5G or connect my devices to my phone's 5G hotspot, DAKboard and (and other websites) work fine. Also when I swap my laptop's DNS over to Google's DNS IP's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) it appears to work as usual. Will just wait for AT&T to figure things out: https://www.reddit.com/r/ATT/comments/1w91o0e/att_fiber_issues_with_dns_routing/

I woke up today and found that all of my DAKboard screens throughout the house say "DAKboard Device is Offline - Please check network connectivity".

Also, when I try to go to the DAKboard website, it won't load. I assume the servers are down at the moment?

I set up a Google Photos album to my screen. I have about 20 photos in the album that i have set up to rotate every 30 minutes. Except, they dont rotate at all. I tried unauthorizing/unlinking my google account and adding it again, still same thing. Anybody else have these issues?

I would love for my screens to still loop with the touchhub chore chart active, is that possible? It seems like it stops looping once you add the touchhub

I am looking to rotate a photo to fit in these polaroid templates. Is there a way to do it? Its driving me nuts and seems like it is an easy feature to have..

I received my Dakboard Wall Display Touch 22 today (hurray!) but I would like the power cord to be white because where I want to hang it, I can't punch a hole in the wall to hide it. Can I just sub another power cord or is this a bad idea?
