I built a =E2=80=99static page=E2=80=99 function into IA7 to allow for =
mixing static HTML with buttons that would automatically change with the =
AJAX functions.=20
There is two steps to this, linking the static html to the collections. =
Add an entry like this to collections.json:
"126" : {
"icon" : "fa-truck",
"link" : "/ia7/house/garage.shtml",
"name" : "Garage"
},
and inside the shtml file define the buttons and call the static update =
script at the end:
<div class=3D"col-sm-4">
<div style=3D"vertical-align:middle">
<button entity=3D'gd_south' class=3D'btn btn-default =
btn-lg btn-list btn-popover btn-block btn-state-cmd=20
navbutton-padding=E2=80=99>South Garage Door<br><span class=3D'pull-right =

</button>
