Sorry if I missed it but I can no longer find a way to sort devices by battery level the way the old frontend allowed. This is very useful for sites with a lot of battery devices to keep an eye on which batteries will soon need replacement. Thanks (other than this wind front is looking really great so thanks for your work!) |

Hi @chris-1243 I did try that but the option to sort the list by battery level seems to have been removed. Apologies if i was unclear but in the current version, with a single click, I can sort the devices by battery level. Each time I remember to buy a new pack of batteries I then go around replacing the batteries in the devices reporting the lowest level. I am only suggesting to have the battery level column reinstated as an (optional) click-sortable column. Thanks |

There is a "Battery low" checkbox in Advanced Search. It checks all current "ways" devices report battery statuses (battery level alone would miss devices since some don't report one, just a state). |

Will there be any possibility to keep the old frontend? Tried Windfront two times, but it is definitely a No Go for me and I would like to keep it simple and clean. |

I removed 'package: zigbee2mqtt-windfront' from the configuration to use the old version. Edit: Found the setting to switch interfaces. |

Sorting is not being remembered as with the old frontend. I need that to check on my last seen devices. Reported a bug. |

The color coding of the LQI values makes them hard to read when they are at 'warning' level because the contrast between the yellow and the white background is too low. May I suggest keeping the actual value in black and perhaps change the background of the field to yellow so it is easier to read? |

People are often going to rebel against forced change they didn't know they wanted/needed, but I really don't like the new frontend. The device list is busy, having the power/battery icon shoved in the friendly name field makes it much harder to quickly scan the list, and it seems to default to sorting on friendly name even if no sort is selected on the column headings. I am really used to the devices appearing in the order they were added, especially when adding new devices. The map is horrible. If you zoom so the whole map fits on the screen (I only have 25 devices), the device names are too small to read, the font is tiny. The thick white lines are just eye-boggling. The way the old map gently moves things apart as you drag something makes it far more readable. Is the old front end going to disappear at some point? If not, I can't see the reason for changing the default. UPDATE - I see the sort issue has been addressed in the latest version. The other points remain. |

EDIT - OK, I see this has been addressed in the latest version.I think it is worth pointing out that you don't need to go editing the z2m config file to switch frontends any more, both versions have the option in their settings to switch now - BUT it takes a few clicks around to find it in the windfront settings. You click on settings, you get a list of headings that includes "frontend", you click on that and you get some stuff that it says is only saved in the browser. But next to "frontend" in that set of headings is another "settings", click on that, you then get another set of headings that includes "frontend", click on that, and you can then see the "package" selection. This is far from intuitive. |

The column order doesn't remember between sessions. (When I change to order by last seen, if I leave the z2m windfront page and come back, the order is by name again). |

To be honest...how can someone even think that this looks good compared to the old frontend?

Added to the todo list. Also, with the introduction of new translations, no doubt quite a few places will need adjusting since different languages will alter the sizing of various elements. If you find any other, feel free to open an issue. We have to rely on community feedback for this, since it would require an enormous amount of time otherwise. |

It seems the original frontend is working with a fixed size for these fields as you can change to every language and it always looks the same. |

Can you please add the option of sorting by battery and by manufacturer like in the original frontend? |

Sort by Battery low seems to have a problem too: screenshot

Default sorting didn't work properly due to the value type (that column was mainly meant for advanced searching capability, not display). |

WindFront 2.1.0 was merged in Zigbee2MQTT dev/edge with some of the early v2 feedback as well as a large WebSocket optimization refactor. Dropdowns have also been refactored due to a Safari bug that's plaguing random iOS versions. You can also test WindFront separately using the standalone version (Docker containers & Home Assistant add-ons are available). See instructions in the wiki: https://github.com/Nerivec/zigbee2mqtt-windfront/wiki#standalone-serving-with-multi-zigbee2mqtt-support |

Is there a possibility to change the name of in the middle of the interface, where it now says Zigbee2MQTT? Or otherwise add a name or title to the interface, @Koenkk? |

The best way would probably be for you to look into standalone WindFront. Improving it was the main focus of WindFront v2. It allows you to merge multiple Zigbee2MQTT instances into a single UI, each instance (device/group/etc) is tagged with a name, which you can display in the UI (and sort/filter like the rest). About changing the title: all non-static data displayed in the frontend is driven by Z2M, which means we'd have to add a configuration specifically to display there that would be in |

Hmmm, that could be a solution... Changing or adding a tile/name (or even image) to the top of the webinterface might be a more suitable and easier option for users... But will definately take a look, thanks your reply! |

Could you have something that blocks it on your Firefox browser (like a bad detection from an adblocker)? It should work in both. I primarily test everything with Firefox & Chrome, no issue here. |

The design was polished with much less useless whitespace now compared to first iterations, most welcome. New network map options are great - much easier to find out weak spots now, thank you! It's still a pain on mobile because of the horizontal scrolling required, but so was the old frontend and I don't have a good idea on how to change that. One suggestion though, please allow not only toggling columns, but also reorder them. |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

Yes small screen is tricky, it's pretty much either excessive horizontal scrolling, or excessive vertical scrolling, due to the large amount of data from Z2M... Although, the ability to toggle columns should allow users to better manage horizontal scrolling according to their specific use/need. I looked into column re-ordering, but this is more challenging than I thought due to some networks having very high update rate. Browsers really don't like it. Pausing updates is likely to be bug/artifact-prone. Have to find a decent way to swap columns that won't cause issues on lower-end devices... I'll keep digging. |

I've tried setting up new UI via config change, but ended up with somewhat broken UI (no devices shown, no settings, etc.) 
I see the coordinator still can access all devices (I am using Z2MQTT via HA addon), but devices cannot be accessed via UI. Any pointers how to restore Z2MQTT are welcome 🙏🏻 Obviously I cannot changed UI as recommended in this discussion thread |

Have you restarted the Zigbee2MQTT add-on (not HA)? |

I did all that, and nothing helped. Ended up checking the browser console and found errors about interrupted websocket requests. After logging out and logging back in the interface was again featuring all devices. Kinda weird |

What does this row mean ? Quelle ? or in english translatet "Source" |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

This row is intended for multi-instance users. In that scenario, it indicates from which Zigbee2MQTT instance a device/group/etc. comes from. It has no use in single-instance (it's hidden by default unless multi-instance is active). |
