Option for still image Media to open streaming video upon zoom
I'm pretty sure this has been discussed, but I couldn't find anything recent about it. So...
Has there ever been any more discussion about having the option to click a still image media tile and have it open the mjpg video feed when it enlarges?
I assume the reasoning is obvious, but for me, it would be ideal if I could have the thing that's on all the time just be an occasionally refreshed still image, and then go 'live' when I click on it.
Elements Theme Customization
Hey All:
Looking to customize a theme - and actually really like the simplicity of the elements theme - but when I go to build out my own in the theme creator - I can match up the colors etc of Elements (I just want to modify them slightly) but my locks which appear as RED blocks in the elements theme just come up as the "Normal" color in my theme.
Why is that? What makes the door locks RED in the default theme? I actually like that as they stand out - but would like them to be orange instead.
I'm sure as a relatively new user, it's something I'm just overlooking.
Thanks,
John
TV panel
Is there a way to use my TV as display panel?
Grouping of Hue Lights Question
I am new to ActionTiles, but so far I love it! However, I have been scratching my head trying to figure out how to setup groups of lights for specific tasks. I know how to group them for on and off using a routine, but how do I change colors, or adjust colors of the group? I see how to do this on individual bulbs, or single lights with the 3 dots that appear, but doing each one individually is cumbersome. An example is I have 6 Hue BR30 color bulbs in our living room. If I want to dim them or change the color, they have to each one be done manually instead of in the group.
I have the Philips Hue hub (latest version), as well as the latest version of the Samsung SmartThings hub. I saw something in the forums about a Hue (re)Connect app, but that appears dead now.
Am I missing something or doing something wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Tip to find URLs to open iOS Apps from a shortcut tile - Iconical app
I'm new to Action Tiles and I've been testing it on an old iPad (works with my Hikvision cameras which use admin:password in the url whereas Android, Fire, Fully won't)
I thought I'd share a tip for other iOS users with regard to app URL shortcuts. I searched high and low on the internet for an easy way to retrieve these url's the way you can using Fully on Android but could find nothing of use. Then I came across a suggestion to use the app Iconical. It's used to make customised icons for your iOS apps but in doing so it reveals the url shortcuts needed. You leave it scanning your installed apps, which takes some time as it compares them with around 130,000 in their database. You can then click the test button next to the suggestion to see whether it works/goes to the correct app (some are found as random unknown apps but click them anyway to check which app they're associated with). If it works and opens the app you want you can then just read off and note down the url for use in your shortcut tile. Perfect and well worth 2.99.
Tile wrapping
Apologies for the basic questions, I did search through all settings menus and also on this forum but couldn't find an answer.
In one tileset, I have a 2x2 tile followed by two 1x1 tiles. I would like the two 1x1 tiles to be in a column, as opposed to a row. As an example, in the attached screenshot, I would like the 'Posh lights' tile to be underneath the 'TV lights' tile as opposed to the right of it.
Secondly, is it possible to hide the status of a switch on a tile? I.e. the 'on' or 'off' wording at the bottom of the tiles.
I am currently in the free trial time, but plan on purchasing a licence.
Thank you in advance.
Changing ZSE40 4-in-1 Sensor's Display
Since the new ST app I can't seem to change the "display value" to temperature or Humidity its stuck on motion as the default. I have two of them and want one to do Temp the other to do humidity.
I contacted Zooz and they said they THINK AT can help me with this. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance
What are the duplicate items in Re-authorize?
When authorizing devices from Smartthings I see a list of sections containing duplicates of my devices. What is the difference in these sections and should I check all duplicates for an item I want or just the first one of each or what?
SmartThings only allows to select devices by capabilities. Since some devices have multiple capabilities, they may appear in several groups. This is normal and there's no harm in selecting the same device several times, it actually makes no difference.
The SmartThings mobile app has a "select all" check box, which makes device selection a little easier.
Do I really need a Smart Things Hub? Why can't I use just access my Smart Things account that is already setup with everything I need?
No, you don't need a hub. A hub is only required for locally connected LAN, Z-wave or Zigbee devices.
There's plenty of devices that don't require a hub, such as cloud connected thermostat, WiFi outlets and lights. SmartThings refers to this setup as "Hubless Locations".
When it comes to ActionTiles licensing, each logical SmartThings Location requires a license. This includes Hubless Locations.
New SmartThings Home Monitor status incorrect
When I change the alarm status in the ST app, it doesn’t reliably change the status in AT. If I change the status of the alarm on the AT panel, it always correctly changes the ST alarm status. Can someone please give my settings a glance to see if I’m doing something wrong? My kids have set off the alarm a few times since the new ST app migration because they see the panel and it indicates disarmed.
"No Icon" as a Tile Icon option
I would like to have no icon at all for several things. Only when they are triggered should the icon become visible.
I searched the library using zero and blank and null and none and no icon but found nothing.
Kore (remote app for Kodi) Intent available?
Has anyone gotten Kore running through AT via Fully Kiosk Browser (1.42.5) PLUS edition? Following instructions I've found elsewhere on this forum I believe it should be working but I'm getting an "App not found for intent" pop up. Using Samsung Android tablet. I can get to Kodi to manage through webserver, but the Kore app is a much nicer app for touchscreen.
So in short what I think I'm looking for is Intent information for Kore if available (or confirmation that it is not available".
Thank you.
Blue Iris Cams won't show up
I have researched this a bunch and it just seems like it maybe works for other people and not me. I am trying to access my cameras with:
Http://IP:PORT/mjpg/CAMERA NAME/video.mjpeg
This URL works fine in every browser I put it into but it never shows up when I add it under My Media. I have authentication turned completely off with Blue Iris for testing and it still doesn't work. Below is what I see when I put the URL into ActionTils.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
As mentioned above, this is a new limitation in some modern browsers.
Please refer to this thread for relevant discussion.
Simple MJPEG link not working
Hey guys;
I have a simple cheap ESP32-CAM with tasmota installed.
What I got from the camera is:
http://192.168.1.145:81/cam.mjpeg
I try to create a media tile with that but with no good. It simply show me a broken link. Am I doing something wrong?
Script to load random photo into a Media Tile
For anyone else who is interested, I wanted a way to have photos load directly into a Media Tile, but I wanted it to change or randomize based on my own intervals. I put together a script that I run every 10 minutes on my local Synology which looks at my photo folder, randomly selects a picture, saves it to a local folder with a set filename, and I can then point the Media Tile at.
The Media Tile can be pointed at a static URL, and in the background the script does all the heavy lifting. The tile just needs to know how often to reload which is dependent on how often you run the script to change the photo.

Reolink Camera?
Is the Reolink camera supported by Action Tiles?
I can see from their support that a JPEG image from the camera does have a URL address....so I'm assuming the answer is yes?
https://reolink.com/faq/get-url-of-jpeg-image-captured-reolink-camera/
Thanks,
Kevin
I bought 2 Reolink cameras last week and tested one. They do work with Action Tiles and all is well. I haven't decided whether to connect them to Smartthings, because Reolink's software is pretty good about motion detection and alerts.
Thanks,
Kevin
Actiontiles Icons are Missing on Fire 10, not Fire 8
This only happens on my Fire 10 7th gen. It does not happen on my Fire 8, same browser, same settings. Fully Kiosk Support just blanket-blames Android. I do have the proper Fire-only app for Fully Kiosk Browser. Everything is on it's latest version. I've even done a full reinstall of the table.
Pulling to refresh the page restores the icons.
This worked fine for a year when first set up, yet the icons stopped appearing 6 months or so ago. Basically the story of all home automation.
Newbie help please
Thank you all in advance for the help!
I setup a panel and would like to include on each tile the date/time of the last reading.
That way, I can be confident that the readings are current.
Unless there's a better way to achieve such confidence?
Here's my panel:
