ActionTiles currently does not support controlling Capability Color Temperature. This would be a useful addition, in order to adjust the white temperature of such bulbs, in the same way colour can be adjusted for colour bulbs.

I've noticed with color fixtures (Hue, sylvania LED, etc.) that the tile color picker does not effect color temperature. For example, with Sylvania LED light strips, when I adjust the color picker in the white range the white LEDs (visible on the light strip) never come on. But when I adjust color temperature in ST they do come on.

How do I adjust color temperature with a tile?

I purchased some eco smart bulbs from Home Depot and added them to SmartThings. These bulbs can be dimmed and also adjust the color temperature. The first screenshot shows how they appear in SmartThings. However when adding them as a tile in AT I can adjust the dimming but there is no color temperature adjustment - see second picture.

I would like to play radio station on Alexa using a tile.

I have a special skill on Alexa that streams radio stations and is expecting to get the name of the station by voice.

I know this is an Alexa issue/limitation, but I wonder if anyone found a working solution or even a dirty work-around to do that on AT.

I have multiple garage doors, so I have multiple tiles per garage door on my panel, is there a work around where touching the garage door panel tile (that shows open/close status) to operate that garage door, or have a sensor change the color of a tile?

Good Evening,

Love the app! Harmony Activities (not direct integration with the Hub) would be awesome.

They are listed currently in the 'other device' settings when you set your devices and panels because it appears the only supported state is "switch"

If you all could accommodate this device type it would be great!!!

Hi All, wanted to share an idea I've kicked around for a bit and figured out to implement to success this weekend. Family's  been making heavy use of the printer as of recently and I figured it would be cool to be able to a) keep an eye on the toner and drum life of my Brother laserprinter and b) be alerted once either reached a given threshold.

For this project I am using Webcore to do the handywork behind the scenes.

My printer is a Brother HL-L2395DW wifi printer, and it happens to provide a website with all the details I'm interested in. This model's website can be reached at http://your-printers-address/general/information.html. Per default it is not password protected.

Specifically I am interested in the page count, the drum unit and toner percentages as marked in yellow above.

Working backwards, the AT tile type which currently seems to make most sense for displaying a percentage, is a Humidity sensor. Fortunately SmartThings comes with a DTH for a Simulated Thermostat, which just happens to include a simulated humidity sensor. I created two virtual thermostats in the ST IDE and created tiles for them in my Office AT panel:

Note1: while I could probably rig up a DTH for a simulated energy meter or a simulated lux meter for displaying the page count, I chose to hold off from creating a tile for it now, as we still can't customize or remove the lower part of the AT tiles (looking over the rim of my glasses at you, Terry :B-) . It would look rather silly showing a tile with my pagecount, displaying watts or lux below) for now I'm just storing the pagecount value until I find something interesting to do with it.

Note2. When you create simulated devices in the IDE, you should go to the ST app and add (+) new devices, before trying to make them available to AT and Webcore.

As mentioned it's a Wecore piston which drives the tile updates once a day using a timer. The piston uses a simple webcall to pull the status page above. Unfortunately the result does not translate to Json, so I had to get real creative with indexof(), mid() and similar string operators to yank the numbers out and convert them to integers. 

In addition I have a threshold of 10% defined so if either drum or toner hits that limit a message will be pushed to my phone. Additionally if there's anyone detected by the office motion sensor, a VLCthing speech synth will speak the same message out in the room.

Here's a green screenshot of how I put v1 togother:

Hey all! 

I was kinda upset that ST doesn't provide a way to capture the proper presence status that could be displayed in ActionTiles so being a developer I've created my own web service that shows a real status vs just "Present" or "Not Present."

You simply setup a new piston in WebCoRE that passes the current location to a small web service which takes the status and dynamically creates a Tile that you can display by using the Media Image Tile.

Here's an example of how it looks on an ActionTiles Panel:

Some features:

• You can upload a pic for the icon or use a system one.
• You can choose any background color to match your existing dashboard.
• You can set any tile size to match your existing tiles.
• Status is updated as fast as you need it. 

I'm currently adding the final touches but would love to open this up to the community!

Thanks!

Is there planned support for WebCore? I'd like to remove all my SmartThings Automations Routines and replace with WebCore automations - and I would, except I would lose the ability to use them as Routine Tile(s) in ActionTiles Panels.

Most of the Ring topics are years old. I guess I’m late to the party. In the gallery saw someone with a Ring tile.  What are they doing with the tile? Opening to live view? It seems pretty involved to get Ring on the panel. Or is not?  Still learning a bunch of stuff. I have a Ring 2. Thanks. 

I would like to see a generic information tile that I could programmatically update with something like WebCoRE.  The title of the tile should also be user-defined.

Example 1: Post the name and time of the last motion sensor triggered within a tile entitled "Recent Activity."

Example 2: Post the name and time of the last person who left the premises within a tile entitled "Last to Leave."

Example 3: Post the time when motion is first encountered in the morning within a tile entitled "Rise and Shine."

I have a Lyric Round thermostat that works well with Smartthings and ActionTiles but I have to adjust the temperature 1 degree at a time. Is there a way to just tap a tile and set a temp, say having a tile for 58 and 68 degrees?

I am new to Actiontiles and have been soaking everything up. I noticed in panel galleries that a lot of people have room temps. What are they using to get that?  Is it just a st multi sensor, a motion sensor or something else? I searched the forums and can’t seem to find an answer. The forum’s knowledge is much appreciated. Cheers! 

Need to display setpoint but have a "controlled increase button" on separate tile for guests, so that increase is limited to function over only 2 degrees of increase or decrease. I can set the controls in WebCore, but need a setpoint display with no + or - function.

Only threads I found were from several years back, and no resolution.  Is it possible to have a tile, ideally with HEOS and Logitech logos, that take me to those apps on my Kindle Fires?

I have noticed that any Hue lamps, etc., and other Sensors, etc.,  that are unavailable due to no power or connectivity issues are displayed with "normal" or "active" status in ActionTiles.

In the case of Hue, the Hue and SmartThings apps show them as "unavailable" or "OFFLINE"

This value seems to come from the "status" Attribute generated when Device Health is enabled.

Current Sonos Bug:

1. With 1 Sonos Tiles added: everything works as expected (play, pause, content display OK)
2. With 2 Sonos Tiles added: play/pause status and content display are all the same across both tiles. When I press play/pause on Sonos tile #1, Sonos #1 responds appropriately, but the play/pause status and content display on Sonos tile #2 mirrors that of Sonos tile #1. Vice versa when I do the same test on Sonos tile #2.
3. With 3 (or more) Sonos Tiles added: Similar test results as #2.

In summary, the actual tiles appear to allow control of the specific Sonos speaker in a multi-Sonos environment, but the display of ALL the Sonos tiles will mirror that of the last Sonos tile that was last played or paused.

Previous Bug (resolved):

There's a new issue related to Sonos that we are tracking. We got 5 reports of this bug in the last two days. This must be due to something that was changed on the SmartThings side since we didn't change anything on our end. We are trying to figure out what the problem is and find a solution.

This Bug was resolved for environments with a single Sonos device added to ActionTiles. Please see above for a new Bug that affects ActionTiles users with multiple Sonos devices on their Panel(s).

I have many centralite appliance outlets in my house.  I also have neruio whole house power monitoring.

I have a panel that shows current power consumption of every centralite outlet.  I want to add up all my outlets into a total watts in use tile.

It seems that the "Simulated Power Meter" is no longer a built in device in the IDE.  So I used "Simulated Temperature Sensor" and webcore to add up all the outlets in to a single Total number.

This works great!  Except, it shows up as a temperature with the degree symbol next to it, and without power (w) at the bottom of the tile.  (don't yell at me, I know this is pretty trivial in the grand scheme of things)

I modify "Virtual Temperature Sensor" and make it a "Simulated Power Meter"

This works, however the update/refresh of the tile is many, many times slower, maybe in the 5 minute range?

I can see in the ST app that I am getting the update correctly reflected every 30 seconds, same as the temp, but the temp tile updates, and the power tile takes forever.

Is there something in the device handler that dictates how actiontiles treats the refresh?  I'm hoping something jumps out at someone in the know.  Thanks in advance.

We are aware of this issue and are continuing to investigate. We are fairly certain of the root cause.

The bug impacts a variety of brands and device types; most or all of them have only recently been added to SmartThings's list of compatible devices. A common factor: They are WiFi based, and use Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) communication to receive commands and send events between the SmartThings Cloud and the Vendor's Cloud.

Some specific known devices with the issue:

• KASA TP-Link (HS103, HS105, ...)
• Sensibo AC
• certain televisions
• Yeelight RGB strips
• ...

We have determined that the likely root cause is that SmartThings made an undocumented & unannounced change to their Device Type Handler standards. It's not uncommon for them to make unannounced platform changes; but we will work with them to resolve the issues. They have explained the changes to us.

These newly compatible devices are not returning expected data to ActionTiles. We will request that they publish an updated version of our "ActionTiles V6 (Connect)" SmartApp with new data expectations and related exception handling, after we verify the fixes in our test environments.

If you are experiencing this error, please add Votes. If it is for a device not listed above, please add a Comment with the exact manufacturer / model information. Vote count will help us determine the urgency.

We have no ETA for resolution at this time, but please "follow" this post for progress updates.

Thank-you,

...Terry.

Would love to see ability to have a panel of (virtual) Amazon Dash buttons. Now that Amazon is retiring the physical buttons, having them on action tile panel would be handy as hell.
