embedding panel into iframe - shortcut issue
I am developing a panel for my rec room. I use a few different actiontiles panels within iframes of a website I host on my own domain. Everything works swimmingly except for shortcuts to apps on the tablet. These shortcuts (in the screenshot, my shortcuts are "Darts", "Sonos", and "Roku", which open their respective apps on the fire 10 tablet) work just fine when I view the panel directly via actiontiles app or URL -- but once I embed the panel to an iFrame, those 3 shortcuts simply do nothing any more. All of the other buttons retain their functionality. Any ideas on how to get the shortcuts working? I'm using Android Fire 10 tablet and Fully browser.
Sports scores
Is it possible to have a tile, or perhaps several, to show scores of certain teams (which I define) across different sports?
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!
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?
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!
Anyone done any work with Windy.com
That would be pretty cool
iFrame Tiles - working sites
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
* 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
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
Wanted to share my Action Tiles dashboard. Created different types of custom tiles using PHP, google sheets and a hosting server that I own.
- Upcoming Tile - It reminds you about important upcoming events like birthdays. Example - “Upcoming” tile in the picture.
- Pay Bill Tile - It reminds you about any upcoming bills and days left. Example - “Pay Bill For” tiles in the picture.
- 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.
- 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!
Custom Tiles
How are you adding your music players to ActionTiles?
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
I have four locations using smart things. I am looking for a programmer better than me to set up my action tiles professionally once I migrate to the Aeotec Hub.
Automation tiles instead of Scene tiles?
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
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.
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:
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.
