"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:

Presence Sensor with New SmartThings App
Hi - I've seen some posts on how to create a tile for presence using the classic SmartThings app. How do I create presence tile using the new SmartThings app? It doesn't look like ST exposes this as a device, so what do I add?

Cameras not showing picture in Chrome but works well in Opera and Firefox
I have been using Chrome on my Android Lenovo tablets at home to see my security cameras. I have opened one tab for each camera to login and then when looking at the Actiontiles tab, everything has been working well until about a month ago. First all the camera images died on one tablet. I facory reset that one and then it worked for a couple of days.
Then another one experienced the same issue and factory resets didn't help anymore.
Tried Opera today and everything works as it should.
Any idea how to get it working in Chrome?

Netatmo Camera on media tiles???
Hi Guys, first post and a complete newbie, so apologies if this is a silly question....
I am trying to get my Netatmo Welcome to display on a media tile.... As I say I am a complete novice so am not entirely sure this is possible. I have followed the steps detailed in the link below assuming it will work in a similar fashion with Action Tiles, firstly my question is am I barking up the wrong tree... As I say my knowledge is limited so apologies if I am being naive..
https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15124
Secondly if by some miracle I am on the right track, why would I get a blank tile with "loading" in it? I have tried both a live stream and snapshot options but both return the same.
Any help or advice would be really appreciated

iFrame shortcut generates blank page
I've customized the weatherwidgetio and I'm hosting it on my own website, that way only I can change it and it will work indefinitely (no one to blame but me). It works fine on its own as a shortcut link, but when I use it in an iframe shortcut, the HTML gets screwed up. You can see it builds the iframe and points to the source, then dumps what should be the frame HTML under #document, but it's dumping a blank page and I can't figure out why. I removed beginning brackets so you can see it here.
Anyone run into this?
iframe type="text/html" frameborder="0" layout-fill="" class="layout-fill" src="http://mywebsite/Weather.html">/iframe>
#document
html>head>/head>body>/body>/html>

How to set tile header text based on status?
In the article "How to use new SmartThings Home Monitor with ActionTiles", it shows custom header text that appears to change based on the status of the alarm. Arm and Armed, for example. Is this really possible?

Randomly losing video streams
Hi all,
It's probably just me (it usually is), but it seems that recently I am randomly losing my video feeds to my media tiles more often.
My setup is:
Fire HD8
LineageOS 16
Fully Kiosk (licensed)
4 media tiles showing streams from Blue Iris
I have FKB configured to use a screensaver (black screen) and automatically turn back on when motion is detected.
The videos were quite stable, but recently I am getting grey tiles with different streams.
A reload of the AT panel/screen solves it.
Has anyone else noticed more recent issue with video streams?
Can anyone suggest a solution (I wanted to avoid the static image route and stick with live video)
Thanks,
J.

Custom CSS
Looking at the forum there was a few years ago discussions on Custom CSS support, has there been any progress to this or any form of roadmap that plans on implementing this?
Or has there been any "unsupported" way of dealing with it from the community even?

Christian

Stock Ticker Tile
While I realize that this may veer slightly off of the smart home control aspect of Action Tiles, I was wondering if it would be possible to create a stock ticker tile to compliment your other Clock, Weather, Weather Forecast, Calendar, and RSS News Feed tiles? I use my tablets for both smart home control as well as a "one stop shop" for information and it would be nice to have a tile where you could display the current prices of certain stocks, funds, etc., and have the tile scroll through them (realizing that it would/could not be real time information).
I assume this would be low priority compared to all the other activities you have going on, but am curious whether there are others who are interested in a stock ticker tile as well. Thanks.
