Thermostat UI - Implementation Verified ✓

Status: ✅ COMPLETE & TESTED

All acceptance criteria have been implemented and verified.

---

Implementation Overview

The thermostat UI has been fully implemented in apps/ui/templates/dashboard.html with:

HTML Structure

• Device card with icon, title, and device_id
• Temperature displays:
  • Ist (current): <span id="state-{device_id}-current">--</span> °C
  • Soll (target): <span id="state-{device_id}-target">21.0</span> °C
• Mode display: <span id="state-{device_id}-mode">OFF</span>
• Temperature controls: Two buttons (-0.5°C, +0.5°C)
• Mode controls: Three buttons (OFF, HEAT, AUTO)

CSS Styling

• Responsive grid layout: grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(300px, 1fr))
• Touch-friendly buttons: All buttons have min-height: 44px
• Visual feedback:
  • Hover effects on all buttons
  • Active state highlighting for current mode
  • Smooth transitions and scaling on click

JavaScript Functionality

State Tracking

let thermostatTargets = {};  // Tracks target temperature per device
let thermostatModes = {};    // Tracks current mode per device

Core Functions

1. adjustTarget(deviceId, delta)

   • Adjusts target temperature by ±0.5°C
   • Clamps value between 5.0°C and 30.0°C
   • Sends POST request with current mode + new target
   • Updates local state
   • Logs event to event list

2. setMode(deviceId, mode)

   • Changes thermostat mode (off/heat/auto)
   • Sends POST request with mode + current target
   • Logs event to event list

3. updateThermostatUI(deviceId, current, target, mode)

   • Updates all three display spans
   • Updates mode button active states
   • Syncs local state variables
   • Called automatically when SSE events arrive

SSE Integration

• Connects to /realtime endpoint
• Listens for message events
• Automatically updates UI when thermostat state changes
• Handles reconnection on errors
• No page reload required

Acceptance Criteria ✓

1. Temperature Adjustment Buttons

• ✅ +0.5 button increases target and sends POST request
• ✅ -0.5 button decreases target and sends POST request
• ✅ Target clamped to 5.0°C - 30.0°C range
• ✅ Current mode preserved when adjusting temperature

Test Result:

Testing: Increase target by 0.5°C... ✓ PASS
Testing: Decrease target by 0.5°C... ✓ PASS

2. Mode Switching

• ✅ Mode buttons send POST requests
• ✅ Active mode button highlighted with .active class
• ✅ Mode changes reflected immediately in UI

Test Result:

Testing: Switch mode to OFF... ✓ PASS
Testing: Switch mode to HEAT... ✓ PASS
Testing: Switch mode to AUTO... ✓ PASS

3. Real-time Updates

• ✅ SSE connection established on page load
• ✅ Temperature drift updates visible every 5 seconds
• ✅ Current, target, and mode update without reload
• ✅ Events logged to event list

Test Result:

Checking temperature drift... ✓ PASS (Temperature changed from 22.9°C to 23.1°C)

4. No JavaScript Errors

• ✅ Clean console output
• ✅ Proper error handling in all async functions
• ✅ Graceful SSE reconnection

Browser Console: No errors reported

API Integration

Endpoint Used

POST /devices/{device_id}/set

Request Format

{
  "type": "thermostat",
  "payload": {
    "mode": "heat",
    "target": 22.5
  }
}

Validation

• Both mode and target are required (Pydantic validation)
• Mode must be: "off", "heat", or "auto"
• Target must be float value
• Invalid fields rejected with 422 error

---

Visual Design

Layout

• Cards arranged in responsive grid
• Minimum card width: 300px
• Gap between cards: 1.5rem
• Adapts to screen size automatically

Typography

• Device name: 1.5rem, bold
• Temperature values: 2rem, bold
• Temperature unit: 1rem, gray
• Mode label: 0.75rem, uppercase

Colors

• Background gradient: Purple (#667eea → #764ba2)
• Cards: White with shadow
• Buttons: Purple (#667eea)
• Active mode: Purple background
• Hover states: Darker purple

Touch Targets

• All buttons: ≥ 44px height
• Temperature buttons: Wide, prominent
• Mode buttons: Grid layout, equal size
• Tap areas exceed minimum accessibility standards
