I have AT running on two Fire 8 tablets identically configured, and using licensed Fully with activate on camera motion configured. This works fine 99% of the time, but occasionally, I will find that AT is at the My Panels screen, the screen is dimmed, and neither motion nor activity on the screen restores the brightness. I have to fumble through Fire Settings on a very dim display and turn the display brightness back up.

Here's the thing. This happens about once every 4-6 weeks on one Fire 8, and several times a week on the other.

Some of my settings that might be pertinent:

• Web Content: Settings/Start URL: https:/app.actiontiles.com
• Device Management: Keep Screen On is enabled, Launch on Boot is enabled, Screen Off Timer is zero.
• Screen Saver: Set Screensaver Brightness to zero, and set Screensaver timer at 120 seconds.
• Motion Detection: Enable Visual Motion Detection on, Turn Screen on Motion on, Exit ScreenSaver on Motion on.

Hi all,

Has anyone found the perfect Panel sizing for the Kindle HD 10 and Kindle 7 by any chance?

To fill the Kindle 7 screen horizontally i have to have some of the tiles cut off at the bottom.

For the HD10 i have to have some blank space along the bottom as the panel does not scale correctly.

It does however scale fine for iPads.

Is there a way to better customise the resolution to fit Kindle devices, as i've tried playing around with everything on the Dimensions tab, but can't quite fit the full screen.

Thanks!

I've set up a new Kindle Fire HD8 with Fully Kiosk (for Fire OS) and Action Tiles. I'm glad I discovered Action Tiles. This is a really great addition to the SmartThings Ecosystem. 

The only issue I have is that changing panels is a little slow. You can see parts of the page "repaginating" as it comes up. I've tried disabling most of the unnecessary features on the tablet already. Any suggestions to improve speed of transitions between panels?

Just downloaded the new ActionTile app for the Fire tablet and noticed there is no way to view camera feeds because you can't log in to the feed.  I know this was an issue with Chrome and trying to embed user/password and was wondering if it is the same with the new app and Fire OS.

For some reason on my new Fire HD 8 7th edition, in two different browsers the time is +5 hours. Time is right on iPhone and Laptop. Tried Fully and Chrome

Hey AT community! 

Fellow ST user/WebCoRE user here. I have been contemplating jumping on the AT bandwagon for a bit now and think I might finally bite. One question I have is regarding the possibility of using this in our master bedroom...

I think it would be a great addition to have full control of the house/check it's status from our bedroom but one concern I have is that when we sleep, there will be a bright glow of the tablet shining in the room. Is it possible to have the screen sleep or go blank between certain hours and only wake once there is motion?

Any help is appreciated! 

I have a Fire Table HD 8 Gen 7 running Fire OS 5.3.3.  I don't see an option in the settings to set the Fully Kiosk as the Home App.  When I set Kiosk mode it only does it once.  After restart of the tablet I am receiving an error that "You only selected Fully to run "just once" as your home app.  Please select always."  There is no option to select Always or anything else to select in the settings.  After restart I can continue in Kiosk mode or disable it which is exactly what I do not want someone to be able to do.  Is there any solution to get the kiosk mode working always?

Hi,

I love ActionTiles - running it very successfully with konnected alarm system. It's early days but I've got to grips with most things now.  The only problem I am having is getting the Amazon fire to show a full screen video from youtube as a screensaver and getting it to play automatically.  I can get it to go full screen but on the Fire it doesn't automatically play no matter what I try.  I want to show a nice video like a drone flyover of Norway or something equally spectacular.

Has anyone had any luck showing such a video specifically from YouTube?

thanks.

I want a weather alert app for all my actiontiles fire is tablets that will play audible alerts for severe weather, any ideas?

Continued from: 

Various folks have mentioned that even with "no sleep when powered" setting enabled, and running Fully constantly, etc., Amazon Fire tablets still seem to switch to the lock-screen overnight or some periodic basis.

Myself and Jeremy have noticed that there is an Alarm icon in the Notification Bar that coincides with the timing of the issue. Not sure this is always the case.

The problem is that the Alarm has no discernable source. Googling is inconclusive so far.

Any ideas? 

Does anyone know if the Ring always home app has an "intents": special URL prefix?  I would like to add a tile that opens the Ring app and this seems like the best way.  On a related note, does anyone know if there is a way with automatelt or another service to kick off Fully Kiosk if another app has been open for X mins, like the Ring app for example:-)?

Thanks!!

Apologies if this has been answered before.

My cheap Chinese tablet battery has bit the dust and I can't find another to replace it.  So, I'm going to buy an Amazon Fire tablet to run ActionTiles!

My question is: Can I set it up to display a photo slideshow screensaver like I did with the old Windows tablet?

Does anyone have experience charging a tablet with a solar panel in a window?  I am mounting a Fire 7 next to my kitchen door and due to the construction of the exterior walls, there is no good way to install an outlet.  My thought is getting a solar panel to hang in the window and try to charge like that.  I know the power output is decreased when behind glass but I don't know what would be a good quality panel to use.  

where I try to put the kindle in kiosk mode with fully send a message to go to home app settings, but when I go to the setting the kindle setting crash ... there is no way to activate the kiosk mode;(

So, I have fully set up to keep the screen on, screensaver at 30 seconds, and the screensaver URL set to Dim: on my Fire 7 2nd gen.

It works great! ....  for a day or two.  Then, randomly, it seems to go back to the lock screen.  I also notice that the screen brightness is reset to minimum after I unlock it.

Is anyone else experiencing this?  Is there a setting I need to find to fix this?  Or is it likely that someone in the house is fiddling with things?  (They swear they are not)
