Calendar and tasks pack the most body text at the smallest default
sizes, so those two gear-icon dialogs get a "Text size" card (Normal/
Large/X-Large) alongside the existing Border card -- a new Widget-level
font_scale column with its own POST .../font-scale endpoint, same
Widget-property-not-config-field shape as border_style. Threaded through
every classic (calendar_render.py) and modern (html_render.py/
calendar_html_render.py) size calc via one shared panel_style.
scaled_size() so row heights/max_rows already derived from font size
re-fit around the bigger text automatically.
Next/back button assignment moves from a frame-level "Button
assignments" card into each widget's own gear-icon dialog, prefilled
with a sane default at creation (photos/calendar -> advance/back,
whiteboard/weather -> check_now, others -> none). At most one binding
per (widget, button) now -- cross-widget execution order never
mattered since each widget's action only touches its own state.
New firmware capability: holding NEXT or BACK past a configurable
duration (min 3s, server-side default) triggers a frame-wide action
instead of the per-widget short-press one -- cycling saved layouts,
refreshing all widgets, or freezing/unfreezing every photo widget (see
app/global_actions.py). Firmware next/back checks gain the same
hold-duration polling the combo button already had; the threshold
comes from the previous wake's /frame/config fetch (persisted in NVS),
since this wake's button decision happens before that request.
Not done here: firmware/version.txt is intentionally left unbumped --
this hasn't been built or hardware-tested (no ESP-IDF toolchain in this
environment), so no firmware release build should be triggered yet.
A Widget-level property (border_style/border_thickness/border_color_index),
not a per-type config field, since every widget type can have one -- drawn
once centrally in device.py's _render_widgets before compositing, using
an exact panel palette color so it never dithers. Styles: solid, dashed,
dotted, and a fancy double-line picture-frame-mat look. Configurable from
a shared "Border" card in every widget's gear-icon dialog.
Shows Frame.battery_percent/battery_as_of, already set by every device
wake-on-battery report, plus routers/common.py's existing
battery_estimate_s time-remaining estimate -- nothing new to fetch or
cache. Compact (icon + percent) or detailed (+ estimate, last report
age) display mode. No button actions.
New widget type with four display modes -- current conditions, an
hourly forecast strip, a multi-day forecast, and several cities' current
day side by side -- backed by a pluggable provider registry (app/weather/,
mirroring the app/widgets/ dispatch pattern): Open-Meteo (worldwide) and
NWS (US-only) both wired up now, Environment Canada documented as the
next one to add given its more involved station/grid-lookup API.
The calendar widget's existing embedded weather strip is untouched and
still Open-Meteo-only; this lifts the same underlying icon-drawing
primitives (now shared via app/weather_render.py, calendar_render.py
still imports draw_weather_row unchanged) into a widget that can be
placed and sized on its own. Icons are redrawn in the panel's actual ink
colors (yellow sun/bolt, blue rain/snow) instead of flat black, and
build_multi_city's icon/font sizing now scales with how many cities need
to fit rather than the box's height alone -- both fixed after catching
them via live browser verification, along with a mode-switch cache-shape
crash and a mobile-width dialog overflow.
New WeatherWidgetConfig table (migration 24), grid footprint, widget
module, common.py fetch/cache helper, router endpoints (location set/
clear, city add/remove, preview), dialog template + JS, and full test
coverage (providers, widget render, HTTP endpoints, migration replay).
docs/widgets.md and CLAUDE.md's TODO updated accordingly.
A new self-contained widget type showing user-authored rich text -- no
live upstream to poll, like the static image widget, just word-wrapped
styled text instead of an uploaded image.
The dialog's contenteditable HTML is never stored or replayed as HTML:
app/text_content.py parses it server-side (on save) into a plain
paragraphs-of-styled-runs structure -- the actual sanitization
boundary, since raw HTML never round-trips back into any browser DOM
(the dialog rebuilds its editor from that same JSON via
createElement/textContent). app/widgets/text.py renders it with a
custom word-wrap/shrink-to-fit layout, using real vendored font weights
(app/fonts/NotoSans-{Regular,Bold,Italic,BoldItalic}.ttf, OFL-licensed
like the emoji fonts already there) rather than every other widget's
single ImageFont.load_default() -- the one widget type where that
distinction matters.
A new widget type showing a single user-uploaded image with no live
upstream to poll -- decoded once at upload time (PDF's first page via
pypdfium2, BSD-3-Clause/Apache-2.0, no copyleft exposure) into plain RGB
PNG bytes, then composed per a crop/stretch/letterbox display mode like
the photos widget.
Task lists used to be a week-view-only sub-feature bolted onto calendar
widgets (CalendarWidgetConfig.tasks_*), so a task list could only exist
tied to a calendar's view and only inside its footprint. Tasks are now
a standalone widget type (TaskWidgetConfig, app/widgets/tasks.py) that
can be placed and sized independently, same as photos/calendar/
whiteboard -- no separate "enabled" flag either, since being on the
grid at all is the on/off switch, matching every other widget type.
Migration 17 creates task_widget_configs, extracts any existing
calendar widget's configured task source into a new sibling tasks
widget (auto-placed in open grid space, source dropped+logged if truly
none is left), then drops calendar_widget_configs' now-dead tasks_*
columns in the same migration -- this project's usual same-migration-
drop convention. Also handles the rarer case of a database jumping
straight from before the widget system existed to after this split in
one boot, via the legacy Frame.calendar_tasks_* columns.
Verified live in the browser at desktop and mobile widths: adding a
Tasks widget, its own dialog (task-list source picker + preview), and
confirming the calendar widget's dialog no longer mentions tasks at
all. Full test suite (180 tests, including new coverage for the widget
render/actions, the migration's data-extraction path, and the
permission-boundary shape for tasks-source) passes.
One request (DELETE /api/frames/{id}/widgets) removes every widget on
the frame in a single locked transaction, cascading their configs and
button-action bindings the same way single-widget delete already does.
Gated behind confirm() like the existing per-widget remove button, and
disabled when there's nothing to clear. Covered by the same owner/
unrelated-user/linked-but-not-controlling permission shape used
elsewhere (test_widget_placement.py).
Also fixes a real, pre-existing mobile bug this surfaced: the Layout
page's .layout grid used a bare `1fr` track on the <860px breakpoint
instead of `minmax(0, 1fr)` like the desktop rule already does, so a
wide enough descendant (previously nothing hit this; the new title-row
button did) would force the whole page into horizontal scroll on phone
widths. Verified before/after with the run-server driver's new
`viewport` command.
showStatus() always wrote to the page-level #result div, which sits
behind a <dialog>'s backdrop -- a save inside a widget's gear-icon
dialog produced a message the user couldn't see without closing the
dialog first. It now prefers a .dialog-result element inside whichever
<dialog> is currently open, falling back to #result everywhere else.
The dialog is a flex column with its body scrolling independently so
.dialog-result stays pinned as a visible footer regardless of scroll
position -- otherwise a save message on a long form (e.g. the calendar
dialog) could land off-screen below the fold with no visible feedback
at all.
Replaces the Photos/Calendar/Whiteboard tabs with a single Layout page
(now the frame's landing route) where each widget gets a gear icon
opening a dialog scoped to that specific widget's own settings. This
was the missing piece for genuinely independent same-type widgets --
"the Calendar tab" never made sense once a frame could hold more than
one calendar widget with different settings.
Data layer: FrameCalendar re-keyed from frame_id to widget_id, so each
calendar widget has its own independent included-calendars set. The
rekey runs as an unconditional post-startup step (like the existing
widget backfill), not a numbered migration -- it depends on calendar
widgets already existing, which themselves come from that same
backfill step, not from schema migration. Registering it as a numbered
migration would have run it first during a real upgrade, silently
dropping every row; caught by a new test that exercises the raw-SQL
upgrade path instead of the fresh-install create_all() shortcut every
other migration test takes.
API layer: every endpoint that used to assume "the frame's widget of
this type" (photo queue/thumbnail/preview, calendar select/color/
tasks/weather, whiteboard source/browse/preview) moved into
api_widgets.py under /api/frames/{id}/widgets/{widget_id}/..., with a
new require_widget_view/control dependency pair mirroring the existing
frame-level ones. Device status (battery/last-seen/firmware) got its
own frame-level /status endpoint, split out of the old photo-specific
/queue it used to piggyback on -- fixes the status bar going silently
blank on any frame without a photo widget.
UI layer: each widget type's existing settings markup/JS was ported
into a dialog partial + an explicit init/close function pair (the
content is now fetched and injected on demand, not loaded at page load
time). window.FRAME_API is repointed to the open dialog's widget-scoped
API base for its duration and restored on close; a separate
window.FRAME_BASE_API stays stable for the always-present header/
status-bar scripts.
Caught during manual browser testing: the consolidated config-save
endpoint initially expected a JSON body while the copied-over dialog JS
posts form-urlencoded data (the old convention) -- fixed to match, with
new HTTP-level test coverage that would have caught it immediately.
Adds the actual "Android home screen" placement experience: a new
Layout tab with a pointer-driven canvas for dragging/resizing widgets
and adding new ones from a type picker. Backed by a new
routers/api_widgets.py (create/move/delete), which re-validates
bounds, minimum footprint, and no-overlap server-side regardless of
what the client already checked. A widget added without an explicit
position lands in the first open space that fits it
(grid.find_open_rect), so users don't have to hunt for empty space
themselves.
Also fixes a real latent bug this surfaced: changing a frame's
orientation swaps the widget grid's long/short axis, which left
existing widget placements out of bounds on the new grid with no
render-time safeguard. Orientation changes now reset the layout to a
single full-panel widget (keeping the first widget's type, dropping
the rest), with a client-side confirm before it happens.
