Multiple Feature Requests

Canadian

Sorry for the long post, here's all my ideas and requests
I use an Ajazz AKP153E with MacBook Pro.



1. Auto Off:
It works no problem in my usb hub, but because the hub is always powered, when I disconnect my laptop, the screen stays on forever. My desk is in my bedroom, so I often have to flip the streamdock face down before bed.


I'd love if I could enable the device to turn off its screen once it disconnects from my computer or after 10-30 seconds of no response. Is this possible? I notice the device relies extremely heavily on the application.


2. "Quick Folders":
I have a Home Assistant with buttons to control different things. When I open the folder and click a button, I want the folder to automatically exit (click the back button).


I tried creating an action flow to go back to the page the folder lives on after the action is executed, but becasue I'm in a folder on that page, nothing happened. I think I could make my desired functionality work by using deticated page to act as a folder, but that's not worth the effort yet.

Here's some ideal functionality for quick folders if you decide to implement them:
Global-Folder setting:
Choose if folder should be exited after button clicks or not.


Per-Item setting:
Choose if a specific button should be different to the global-folder default. (Most buttons I'd want to exit immediately after, some buttons I'd want to not exit folder after).


Time Delay:
Set via global-folder or per-item settings
If I ever click the wrong button, then a 5 second delay (or a user-set delay) would be nice so that I can click the right button before the folder auto exits.


3. CMD-TAB
When using the Stream Deck app, it's frustrating to go back and forth from it to other apps.


I can see why having it show up as a running app all the time could get annoying, but it can be frustrating to not be able to cmd-tab (alt-tab on mac) back to it after I've covered its window with a browser or other app.  
It'd be nice to have an option so I can set it as an cmd-tab-able app or not.

[Mac Specific]:


3. Home Assistant on Mac
I noticed a home assistant thread from ~6 months ago. I'm not sure if it's working on windows now or not, but it'd be cool to have "native" integration on Mac! Currently I have shortcuts acting as apps that my buttons call to, but adding new ones can be tedious.


4. System Monitor on Mac
It's not too important, but it'd be nice to have system monitor stats on my side-bar.


5. Stream Deck plugins
Is it possilbe to get this working on Mac? I'll have to ask on this forum post as well, but it'd be so cool to use plugins from StreamDeck for obvious reasons.

6. Knobs Functionality
I got a good deal on both, so I also have an Ajazz AKP03. The 3 knobs seemed essentially useless. I'm sure it's difficult to give full functionality to them, but it'd be cool if they were actually usable. (not sure if I'll ever use both, but if the knobs were useful, I would).


7. Local headlines
I'm in Canada and it'd be cool to have the headlines feature work for North American news, but it's not very important.


8. Folder/page switching speed
Entering my home assistant folder is fairly fast. But exiting it is slow. Changing pages in general is fairly slow. By "slow" it still only takes .5-.75 seconds, but for just a screen change, you'd think it could be instant. Is it possible to have the application always have the other pages pre-loaded? I assume it's slowness is caused by a page change requiring re-loading of the next page every time...?

What is your current software version number.
The first point is that in the 185 version, we have added a button function to turn off the screen. You can try it out
The second point is that this current version cannot achieve it. If it is to jump to another page, it can be implemented using operation flow
The third point is that you just need to set a hotkey yourself, but sometimes it may not execute at the level of a hotkey. You can try using AKP03E's super hotkey
Article 4, Home Assistant requires you to have a gateway. If its program can be used normally, it is also normal for us to use it
Article 5: System monitoring depends on subsequent development arrangements
Article 6: The knob function is still based on the volume and screen brightness of the Mac. You can also add hotkeys yourself or check our default settings to reset the current device. However, you need to export your own settings first,

Thank you for your love and support for the product. I will reply to your questions and suggestions here.

As for your second requirement, the logic of our current operation flow will make it invalid after switching interfaces. Regarding your idea of ​​quick folders, please allow me more time to think about how to implement it.

Regarding the reply to Home Assistant, as you can see, I uploaded a tutorial on its use on the forum. You need a gateway to help you better control it when using it. Can it be used in the Mac version? I think it is feasible.

System Monitor on Mac is a really useful feature. Due to Mac's restrictions, I will seriously consider whether it is feasible and whether there are other ways to achieve similar effects.

Regarding the knob function, we have developed a new function, but you may not see it due to the software version problem. It can run well at present, but the number of third-party plug-ins it supports is not very large. We will develop its adaptability in the future to make it more interesting.

Regarding the requirements for the news headline plugin, I need to investigate whether the demand is urgent, so the development cycle may not be that early. (I may even consider whether there are other solutions to meet the same effect)

Regarding your last question, we need to determine whether the execution speed is decreasing because there are too many stored files. We will consider storing more files in the cloud instead of locally in the future. I don't know if this can solve the problem well.

If you have any new needs and ideas, you are welcome to contact us at any time. Thank you.
