Sports scores

jpozzoli 5 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated by Mike Reuben 2 years ago 5

Is it possible to have a tile, or perhaps several, to show scores of certain teams (which I define) across different sports?

Answer

Hi Brian,

There no direct way to implement this functionality. However, you could create a Media Tile and link to an image that displays the score and have the image refresh periodically.

Thanks

Add Dexcom CGM Data - Great for T1Ds!

Donnie Iorio 4 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated by parac 2 years ago 1

Hi everyone!  This one really is only going to be good for T1Ds (like me) or parents of kids with T1D that also wear a CGM. 

I set up Nightscout on a Heroku instance and have it iFramed to my ActionTile panels, including the one I have in my Tesla.  Really great for awareness, and you can set color thresholds to help keep me in range.

Dimmer slider, color picker always visible via a special new Tile type?

Nic 7 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated by leftofdead 3 years ago 31 4 duplicates

I apologize if this has been discussed already, I couldn't find an answer. Is it possible to have a dim slider or color picker shown next to the switch all the time instead of having to click the three dots? I think it would be really helpful to be able to simply slide the dimmer without going through a menu.


Thanks for everything!

iFrame Tiles - working sites

Kevin1 4 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated by Derek Lindvall 3 years ago 36

Thought I would make a topic for known working sites for everyone to add to their ActionTile panels.  I'll start off with:

* fast.com - internet speed test

  -simple and works, just use fast.com

Image 5040


* windy.com - beautiful weather map with wind streams, radar etc

  -set the view you like, then use the top left menu at windy.com, select "embed widget in page".   When you paste into ActionTiles, delete the html tags so you end up with only the long URL between quotes following src=.  If you get this incorrect, ActioNTiles seems to embed ActionTiles site in the iframe tile instead.

Automatically open a panel

Roger S 3 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 3 years ago 1

I would like to have a particular panel open automatically upon certain smartthings events. 


For example, when someone knocks on my front door, my summary panel displayed in AT will change to another panel that just shows the cctv feed of the front door. 


Any ideas would be gratefully received. Thanks

Created Different Types of Custom Tiles in Action Tiles Dashboard

sk108 4 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated by Dmitry 3 years ago 2

Wanted to share my Action Tiles dashboard. Created different types of custom tiles using PHP, google sheets and a hosting server that I own.

  1. Upcoming Tile - It reminds you about important upcoming events like birthdays. Example - “Upcoming” tile in the picture.
  2. Pay Bill Tile - It reminds you about any upcoming bills and days left. Example - “Pay Bill For” tiles in the picture.
  3. Text Tile - It comes handy when you need to give a name to your tile groups or want to remind yourself to order something. Example - “Frequent” and “Order Eggs” tiles in the picture.
  4. Days Ago Tile - It tells you that how many days have past for a given event like aquarium water change. Example - “Aquarium WC” tile in the picture.

Please note that I am using the free version of Action Tiles. In case you have any question, feel free to drop them in comments. Thanks!

How are you adding your music players to ActionTiles?

Sidney 5 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated 3 years ago 46

I was just wondering how everyone else is adding their music players to ActionTiles.

I am using an app called Echo Speaks that is added to my SmartThings as a Smart App.

I can control the Echo's Play, Stop, Pause, Volume and Skipping.

Right now, I can only control the Volume of the Fire HDs.

The individual Echo Tiles also show up in their respective Room Panels.  So when I go into the Living Room Panel, the 'Echo - Living Room' tile is in there as well.

tileset status inheritance

Ross H 3 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Notifications & Sound updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 3 years ago 1

Is there any way to change the status/color of a tileset icon when any of it's member icons changes status?  For example, I would like to put a single tileset icon on the main screen for Windows and another for Doors and to have the status of those icons change when any of my windows or doors are open.  This would radically reduce screen clutter.

Temperature tile normal vs warning

AlanL 3 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles 0

I have a tile that shows the temperature on a motion detector. The tile is in the  "normal"  condition state. Id like for it to stay "normal" when the temperature is bellow a certain point and change to warn then alert state when it above a certain point.

i.e., 

0-75 degrees = normal

76-80 =warn

80+ = alert.

hubitat on the back end.  Any ideas?

'Settings' panel

Bob Gross 3 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated 3 years ago 2

I would like to create a 'Settings' panel wherein we could easily make changes to values used in WebCoRE to, for instance, turn off lights.  I would like to be able modify times, temperatures (Centigrade), and other numeric values.  

Is there any way to achieve this?  What do other users do?

Thanks.

Help with tile double clicks

Cory13 3 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Tushar Arora 3 years ago 1

Hello, I was hoping someone can help me with an issue I'm having. I have tiles that turn on my pool heater or spa heater. In webcore I have actions that are done on a timer to make the changes. If someone clicks the tile a second time without waiting for the action to finish the logic is messed up. Does anyone know how to disable a tile after it has been clicked for a certain amount of time? Sometimes it the tile takes a second or 2 to light up and the person clicking will try again so i'd like to prevent that. Thank you!

Clock/Timezone Media Workaround, Anyone?

Max R 5 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated by Tushar Arora 3 years ago 4

While we're waiting for a clock tile with [hub]timezone support, I was wondering if anyone's come across a media source for a bitmap/videostreamed clock in any given timezone? All I'm looking for is having a tile display the current Pacific Standard Time no matter where I am in the world. Any suggestions?

Thermostat Tile: Custom icon & colors when actively heating or cooling and for excessive heat or cooling

Computer Helper 4 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated 3 years ago 4

I can't find where to change the thermostat icon

I would like the tile to show red when actively heating, blue when cooling

Show a flashing red or blue when a "setpoint" is hit. Flashing red above 75 or flashing blue below 66

I have Smartthings setup to notify me if my tenants are turning the heat up.

Thank you,

Mike

Automation tiles instead of Scene tiles?

Mike Thomas 3 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 3 years ago 1

I'm rearranging my scenes & automations in SmartThings. Right now my ActionTiles panel refers to a single scene (called "Bedtime") that turns some lights off, locks the doors, and starts a countdown (using power allowance on a virtual switch) to turn on the interior cameras and turn off the last light.

I am planning on splitting that scene into several individual scenes - lights off, lock doors, cameras on, because that just make sense (to me anyway) as the individual scenes can be used for purposes other than bedtime.

The problem is, a SmartThings scene cannot call another scene (so I can't have a master scene that calls the 3 individual scenes).

I can, however, use a SmartThings automation (I have one already, it runs at 10pm if I forget to run it; I would modify it to call the individual scenes rather than the single Bedtime scene).


BUT - it appears that ActionTiles won't let me call an automation - is that by design?

Thanks.

SmartThings scenes look different and don't appear in ActionTiles

rsantone 4 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 3 years ago 45

I had a few, I guess "routines" in the ST Classic. "Goodbye" turned the heat down and set the mode to Away. "I'm Back" turned the heat up and set the mode to Home. Apparently something in these prevented migration to the new app so i deleted them and remade "Scenes" that did the same thing. They look different in the app, and don't show up in ActionTiles. What can I do? I've attached a pic.

Answer

The native Scene integration was rolled back on October 18 until farther notice. It will continue to work for those who already authorized their locations.

Meanwhile the following workaround remains available:

https://support.actiontiles.com/knowledge-bases/8/articles/8740-how-to-use-new-smartthings-scenes-with-actiontiles

The method described above is sub optimal, however it's the most "user friendly" method to integrate the scenes. It's much less involved and dummy proof than running a scene via HTTP webhook.

Updated Honeywell Thermostats in ST, lost Dual Thermostat Control in AT

ChrisP 3 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 3 years ago 6

A few weeks ago, my two Honeywell TCC 9000 thermostats stopped having the ability to control set points in ST.  I found on reddit that others had the same issue, and had to remove and re-add them (via cloud connection to TCC again).  THis fixed the issue in ST, but then resulted in the thermostats being identified as "placeholder" for type in AT.

I went into the IDE, changed the type to what it was before, and now I can use them.  However, there is no Dual Control tile like before that allowed for heat/cool control in a single tile.  I have to add seperate heat and cool tiles now.

Thoughts?
