Google Music Tile

Nick D'Auria 7 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago 2

Hello, is there a way to add support for google music? Even just for basic playback like pause and close which displays normally on the top bar of an android device if streaming using a google device. Ideally it would be more robust like the ability to pick a playlist if possible.

Custom icon image; or Media Tile as Thing Tile?

Jake Anderson 7 years ago in Colors Icons Fonts Themes updated by Oatbean 7 years ago 1 1 duplicate

I would love the ability to add a custom image as a tile display. Alternatively being able to add functionality to a media tile when clicked would give the same result.

Some newly authorized Things not showing up in ActionTiles lists

Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago in Things & Capabilities updated 7 years ago 4

There is a bug that may be experienced especially by new users... 


After adding your Location (➕) or Authorizing Things to ActionTiles, you may find some of them are not listed in the Location View and the "Add Thing Tile to Panel" dialog box.


This likely only occurs for Things selected from lists "3)" and/or "4)" on the SmartThings Authorize Things page. If the Things are shown in lists "1)"  or "2)", you can workaround this bug by selecting them there instead.

Answer

We have identified the root cause and solution for this and it is undergoing testing and preparation for deployment (hopefully within the next few days). The only possible workaround is in the original topic post above.


Please follow this Topic if the problem is affecting you. In the meantime, all other Things and functionality should be normal.

Bose Soundtouch missing from Authorize Things

WB70 7 years ago in Things & Capabilities updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago 7

I have two Bose Soundtouch 10 speakers under Things in SmartThings, yet they don't appear when attempting to Authorize Things in ActionTiles.


The default Device Handler that they are both using is LAN Bose Soundtouch. I went as far as modifying the two devices in IDE to use Device Handler "Bose Soundtouch" but this didn't change the results. All of my other Things appear under Authorize Things correctly.


These speakers are Works With SmartThings certified so I'm classifying this as a bug as per Terry's instructions.


Thanks,

WB

"Global" Tilesets for import into Panels

Stephan Hackett 7 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago 5

Allow tilesets to be "global". That way I can import an already created tileset into a panel. This would make creating navigation tiles and creating multiple versions of the same panel a lot easier.


E.g. I need to create the same options for my andoid phone and my ipad but because of resolution, I need to recreate all the panels just with differnet tile size and different spacer tiles.

Answer

Good idea, Steph!


(fyi: We have quite a large number of Ideas/Feature Requests in from our Beta Participants that we haven't moved over to this public Forum. We will merge some of these here from time to time. This fact will often explain why we believe certain Ideas are already "popular".)


A feature on our scopes is to provide the ability to copy Panels. It might be incremental to enhance this to copy sub-Panels (i.e., Tilesets). Thus you could use a Panel or two as" buckets" to store Tilesets that you wish to copy from frequently. The limitation currently is that copying creates a whole new separate instance of the Panel (or Tilesets), not linked to, nor updated with, the original source).

Define color option of active Tiles based on current Mode

jarrett 7 years ago in Colors Icons Fonts Themes updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago 1

I'm really interested in the "normal" and "abnormal" ability to highlight a tile such as a contact sensor for a door as described above but would like to add that it should be configurable by Location Mode.   For instance, during the day, we keep all our bedroom doors open so I would like them to highlight only when closed, but when the house is in sleep mode, we keep the doors to the bedrooms closed, so during this mode, I would want them to highlight when open.  The configuration would need to be by tile (not device type), and have the ability to customize by location mode.

Neato Robot Vacuum

Can I get my Neato on ActionTiles?

Answer

Espen,


I found the Community Device Type Handler that you are likely using. Indeed, it is missing the proper tagging Capability lines.


https://github.com/alyc100/SmartThingsPublic/blob/master/devicetypes/alyc100/neato-botvac-connected.src/neato-botvac-connected.groovy


Please contact the Developer of the DTH and have him/her add these lines. You can add them to your personal copy of the Device Type Handler code in the meantime.

capability "Sensor"
capability "Actuator"

You can direct the Developer to our KB entry on this topic:

Creation of Application Widget on Phone

WB70 7 years ago in Things & Capabilities updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago 1

Terry from our conversation earlier and what SmartThings introduced with their Favorites on the Dashboard, versus the existing SmartThings Widget that add ALL SmartThings Routines to it. Maybe there is an opportunity here to recreate as you stated, a version of the existing Widget to be able to access and run all Routine that have been previously added to Action Tiles.


What I think would be even more powerful would be to create this Widget, if it's even possible, to allow modifying of the widget to add / remove specific devices and routines from it, versus how the ST widget contains ALL routines with only a Refresh functional element. Also how for the flexibility of sizing the widget as you see in my screenshots, length and width. The ST default is 2x2 but it allows it to be resized vertically and horizontally.


Here are some screenshots of my ST Widget on my home Page with all he routines. I moved my clock so I could expand the table even larger for you:

Arlo Cameras as Switch and Motion Sensors missing from Authorize Things

benbarham 7 years ago in Things & Capabilities updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago 13

Just been setting up my first Panel to replicate / replace a Smarttiles dashboard I have running. Very pleased with the new features and well worth the licence fee. The only 'things' I have been unable to add relate to my Arlo cameras. I have had the motion detector element of one of my cameras as a tile and also a switch to switch on/off the camera. They are not listed as an option to authorise though they are officially supported by Smartthings. Not a big deal - just wondering if I have missed something?

Make Location Authorize and Synchronize easier to access in App

Robert L. Harris 7 years ago in Configuration & Settings updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago 2

I'm still building out my home items.  It seems about every 3 day I've swapped or rebuilt something.  Can you make it easier to reload/re-authorize ST?  Make it easier to find the refresh?

Tyco Door/Window Sensor Missing from Authorizable Things

Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago in Things & Capabilities updated 7 years ago 2

As per various other cases, the Tyco Door/Window Sensor Device Type Handler code is incorrect: Some Things are missing from SmartThings Authorize Things screen?


Missing: Capability "Sensor".


Image 630


We will file a request to SmartThings to have it corrected. They have been very responsive and helpful, but it will have to cycle through their deployment timeline.


In the meantime, if you are comfortable doing so; you can make a copy of SmartThings's DTH code from this link to "My Device Types", add new line. Then "Publish For Me", and update your Devices to use your personal copy. We will soon write a detailed KB on how to make a personal copy and add the line: Capability "Sensor" to it manually.

Shortcut Tile names should wrap like Thing Tile labels

btcompute 7 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 7 years ago 4

Hi

I see that text labels on tiles for "Things" will automatically wrap to a second line of text in the case of a long title "Outdoor Garage Spot Light" for example.

It appears as though the text on shortcuts does not wrap around and therefor some characters of the title are not shown.

Is there a way to correct this?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks
