    I have now modified the json files (and some more) to make the UI better match the UI7. I have moved most of the information to the Settings tab to keep the dashboard clean and hopefully keep the space down. Now it turns out that the "brick" on the dashboard still is ridiculous big (70% whitspace) but i hope this is a bug in UI7 that "Vera Control" will fix (soon...).

    Anyone interested to get the modified files ?

    When I'm "online" i must complain on "Vera Control", what was they thinking on when designed this
    new dashboard? I'm new to Vera so I have only 10 devices so far but I plan for 30-50 devices then
    I think the dashboard (or even the total UI) will be totally useless, it is to much whitespace
    which makes to much scrolling in the UI.

    Here is an example of the result:

    @olaeke It will be a good value for the project to have your modification. Are you ready to do commitments to the source repository? It will be good to have a branch for UI7 in the sources

    sense and drive

      Looks good!.
      I'm happy to have a look at the files - so pls share.

      It would also be nice if the front brick ( i like your term) could also show the last update in plain englsh - ie: Tuesday 22:34.10 - i believe the data is available in epoch time...

      Yes they did make a pretty poor effort on their layout...dont think its going to get any better any time soon.

      @hek - Any thoughts?
      Also - have you read this thread? http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,28913.0.html

        Great work @olaeke
        Looks good!

        Agree on the unused space. Lots of white going on in UI7.

            I've created a UI7-branch.

            https://github.com/mysensors/Vera/tree/UI7

            Maybe you could create a pull request on that when you're finished?

              @hek Done, I have not used GitHub before (more used to MS Tools) and there was some steps to take to check in but I hope I managed to do it.

                  Ok, a couple of UI7 PRs has been merged here:

                  https://github.com/mysensors/Vera/tree/UI7

                  Testers needed.

                    Just uploaded files to my Vera Lite. Screenshot's below. I'm using Internet Explorer 11. Firefox looks identical.

                    1.jpg
                    2.jpg

                    It looks much better.

                          @Dany Can you ping your gateway? Sometimes I have problem that my Ethernet just "die", but after reset on card and Arduino it works again.

                            @olaeke Yes, I can ping the gateway. This board works fine as MQTT gateway with the openhab.
                            But the library version is 1.4, not 1.4.1. How can I download the libraries 1.4.1?

                              @olaeke & @Dany Clumsy is not the problem that the original bootloader to use it? The Ethernet gateway both of us produces the same error. OpenHAB all worked well as MQTT.

                                @Dany You will get 1.41 on the download link http://www.mysensors.org/download/. I have no problem access my Gateway with Ethernet, I'm using W5100 module and the lib from the download link.

                                  Hi, I am getting the same error as @Dany .... I am using an W5100 / Ethernet gateway. I downloaded the latest library but still the library is not listed into the device.

                                  Also I can ping successfully the gateway. Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you.

                                    I managed to use Serial Gateway in my Ver Edge´s UI7 pulling a support ticket in the link http://getvera.com/support/. They asked me to enable the remote support to access my controller and than they updated my open WRT firmware to the latest one and now i can use the Serial Ports normally.

                                        Anyone else getting this persistent error using UI7 and ethernet gateway?

                                        trying to upgrade....

                                        It works (messages go both ways) but this error won't go away...

                                          Jim I read this from the Vera forum maybe it is only for z-wave devices or maybe might help for you also:

                                          If you have a device that functions fine, and yet reports "Can't detect device", the following may work for you;
                                          
                                          1) Change the variable CommFailure from "-1" to "0" (click outside the box to save)
                                          2) Clear the variable LastCommFailure (going from memory here; it is right next to the CommFailure) field (click outside the box)
                                          3) Go to the device settings, and change the "Automatically configure" to "no"
                                          
                                          Once the "error" has cleared, step 3 (I think) keeps it cleared.
                                          

                                          I don't have any personal experience since I'm not ready to move from UI5 just yet..
