In an attempt to make the HS4 GUI somewhat usable I added some GUI hacks. This time I won’t show all code + changes in detail but I will share the code (devices.html) and images of the changes (below).

NOTE: the updated HTML has comments showing what/where/why changes were made.
HS VERSION: HS 4.1.17 (tested only on the Windows version)

Instructions

• • Confirm that you have Homeseer HS4 4.1.17.0 (Windows)
  • Download hs4-gui-mods-dj-4.1.17-v8.zip
  • Extract ZIP file
  • in your HS4\html folder, rename devices.html to devices-original.html
  • in your HS4\html folder, rename events.html   to events-original.html
  • From the extracted ZIP file, copy devices-dj-4.1.14-v8.html  to HS4\html\devices.html
  • From the extracted ZIP file, copy events-dj-4.1.14-v8.html    to HS4\html\events.html
  • From the extracted ZIP file, edit custom-dj8.css, copy the text, edit the HS4\html\custom.css file and paste the text.

NOTE: After each Homeseer update the devices.html and events.html files will be overwritten. After each HS4 update I will apply my changes to the new devices.html and post the updated files.
NOTE: will this work on HS for Linux/Raspberry? Let me know! I haven’t been able to test this.
QUESTION: Is it safe? Absolutely. You don’t touch the original files and the CSS changes are in the custom.css file. Do you get guarantees? No, none. You will remain fully responsible. Please consult your doctor before applying these changes to your Homeseer system.

Now let’s see what the changes look like!
