I have several Blynk projects. While swiping between them on the main screen I cannot tell if the projects are running or halted; I have to enter each project to see this.
My enhancement request is to have some small indicator on the main screen so that as I swipe through each project I can tell if the project is running or stopped. This is particularly necessary for my use since it is monitoring a water leak sensor and I need to be sure each project is running so that I’ll get the alarm pop ups on my phone.
if already discussed, i would like to ask something similar:
i have projects with lots of devices (10-20). if i click on the chip icon, i can see the status of each device (online / offline), until i do not click on something else.
but it would be nice, to always display near (or instead) the chip icon, the total number / online number of devices. eg: 14/10. this way one can verify without clicks, the current project status. and if you click the numbers, show the usual detailed info.
@BlynkAndroidDev this was the initial idea. But we never had a time to do that. As this also requires refactoring of some old code to correctly handle online/offline messages.
i know nothing about android programming, and how is this function implemented in blynk app, but in the dumbest case, could work like this:
if the project is started and app in foreground:
every x second do a virtual click on chip icon (without actual visual change on the display)
count the total number of dots (this is the total device)
count the green dots (online devices)
refresh values on display
or, the server could send every x seconds the numbers to the app, when the app + actual project is in foreground (this would require modifications on server side too)
but of course you know better the roadblocks in this implementation. i’m just daydreaming :))
@BlynkAndroidDev I don’t see this on my iPhone. I have three projects. Two are running, one is not. When I swipe through the three of them I don’t see any difference in the titles. Am I looking in the wrong place?
@Dmitriy I think this thread drifted a bit from what I was suggesting.
I don’t need to know if the devices associated with a project are on-line (that would be nice too) but I simply want to know if the project itself is running. My devices do a Blynk.notify when an alarm condition is met. But, if the project isn’t in the Blynk “running” state then I won’t get the pop-up.
I’d like to see the running/stopped status of each project when I swipe through them on the Blynk home screen.
Maybe it’s not done on iOs side yet, we had recently added it to Android app. @Eugene would you add such title’s highlighting for running/stopped project’s state?
?
