Does anybody know of a way to activate the built in (Lenovo tablets) Google Assistant Ambient Mode from within Fully Kiosk Browser?

 My actionstiles is saying this. and nothing works. (error undefined: cannot read property 'message' of undefined)

Hi! New user here.

I love actiontiles as a product and would like to add a suggestion, or ask if its even possible.

I would like to have my screen change whats being displayed based on events. So when i activate my alarm, i´d like for the panel to only show certain things, but, when the alarm is off, it changes to another tile to display other information.

is it possible? 

Last week, I could still see all of my Sonos "Favorites" playlists if I expand the Sonos media tile by clicking the 3 dots at the lower right hand corner. Today, I found all my Sonos speaker tiles no longer show any favorites. Did AT change something or smartthings changed something? How can I get my Sonis favorites to show on media tiles?

Thanks

A few weeks ago I noticed my video streams on a few of my panels are no longer loading. They are set up as MJPGS. When I load them in a separate tab outside of action tiles they load with no issues. I am using the newest version of Chrome (Version 85.0.4183.121). 

Has anyone figured out to control a TV or cable box via using AT?  I am just learning but love AT so far.  Still struggling with adding music as well as I keep receiving an error that AT can't open the other app!

Thanks!

I thought I'd post this to help others. I figured out a way to display the travel time for my wife's commute to work. See the pink tile in the screenshot below...

I used a Google Maps Distance Matrix API call and displayed the result in a Shields.IO badge. (Check out http://shields.io) Then I added the whole darn deal to the My Media section in Action Tiles.

Here's the link I used, broken into pieces...

Base URL: https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/json.svg

Badge Options (no label, pink color, time query, badge style): ?label= &colorA=ff69b4&colorB=ff69b4&prefix=&suffix=&query=$..duration_in_traffic.text&style=flat-square

Google Maps API call: &uri=https%3A%2F%2Fmaps.googleapis.com%2Fmaps%2Fapi%2Fdistancematrix%2Fjson%3Funits%3Dimperial%26departure_time%3Dnow%26origins%3D[origin address]%26destinations%3D[your destination address]%26key%3D[your API key]

You'll have to generate and use a Google API key and the URI has to be encoded with all those silly % escape codes. The Dynamic Generator at the bottom of the Shields.io page will help you out with the pieces. It was a bit of trial and error. Here's what it looks like all put together in the My Media image URL field...

https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/json.svg?label= &colorA=ff69b4&colorB=ff69b4&prefix=&suffix=&query=$..duration_in_traffic.text&style=flat-square&uri=https%3A%2F%2Fmaps.googleapis.com%2Fmaps%2Fapi%2Fdistancematrix%2Fjson%3Funits%3Dimperial%26departure_time%3Dnow%26origins%3D[your origin address]%26destinations%3D[your destination address]%26key%3D[your API key]

As everything seems to be, it's a little bit of a hack (text not centered), and the image and text proportion is stretched/crunched from the original (just like weather maps, camera images, etc.) but it seems to be working pretty well. One of the cool things is that it's actually an SVG, so no quality is lost if you make the tile bigger or look at it in a full-screen view. 

Hope this helps!

Installing a  Lync whole house A/V system along with Smartthings in a new home.  Using ActionTiles GUI's on iPads in three main rooms - Master Bdrm, Kitchen & Family room.   Needed an ActionTile shortcut tile to open the Lync app in iOS but there was nothing anywhere in the internet on how to do it.   When I tried the Lync:// URL it opened the Skype app!   Microsoft Lync was the name of their videoconferencing before they purchased Skype.  And they never bothered to change the name of the link. 

Called Lync customer service to see if there was another URL and he discussed with the app developer and called back in 15 minutes. Fantastic customer service!  He shared the both the iOS link and Android links and I wanted to pass on to whomever might need this as well:

IOS URL: lyncCustomUrlScheme:\\

Android URL: org.htdlync2.app

I was able to find few discussion about this topic, and it may work. But as a new owner of a Tesla Y, I wonder if any of the forum members, can explain if  and how it possible, to install the AT on my Tesla screen?

Just wanted to show off a proof of concept. I have my basic dashboard setup pulling the currently playing album art in the living room straight from Sonos. I use a raspberry pi running the Node-Sonos-HTTP-API to interact with Sonos from a variety of applications around the house. I have a little app running that pulls the album art URL from there and automatically redirects a request to show the album art and put that in a media tile. Works pretty well! Would be lovely if Sonos ever opened up their API to be able to do this without so many workarounds.

BLUF: I am no longer able to select "Autoplay video in Tile (limited browser support, feel free to try)" after 6. I need to add over 60 camera feeds to my panel but the slider no longer shows up when I add more than 6 cameras to my panel. Is this a bug or does ActionTiles only support up to 6 camera feeds at one time?

I run actiontiles on 3 fire tablets throughout the house.

I just changed my home wifi.

I updated the wifi info on the tablets and everything works except 3 of the 4 media tiles.

I went to my PC to update the media tiles, but they work just fine on the computer.

What's wrong with the tiles on the tablets?

I love Actiontiles! What I miss is a way to show a HTTP response as a tile. I'm using Yamaha Musiccast and it would be great with a tile that can display the current track playing. Also - it would be great with an album art tile!

I have searched the forum for a similar request, but couldn't find anything.

Is there a bug passing credentials (username and password) to my video cameras on a panel's first load?

I use old Android phones running IP Webcam as security cameras in my camp - they're great because they have WiFi, a camera, a battery backup, and they're free.

Each one is available on the local network and also is port-forwarded through the router on a unique port. IP Webcam is configured to require a different username and password combination for each one.

If I open the URL directly in a browser (passing the credentials in the URL) it opens right up, so everything is working fine with the camera, phone and router configuration.

If I place my camera feeds on a panel as media tiles, on the first load they show as gray boxes with the "broken image" icon, until I right-click on each one and select "Open image in new tab", and then once they're authorized by the standalone tab I can click Refresh and the panel displays them correctly.

This behavior is the same as in the legacy SmartTiles dashboards.

I have 4 panels in my home running actiontiles with fully and DAKboard as screensaver.  Today, instead of screensaver from DAKboard, all my panels default to DAKboards home screen instead of the free screensaver.  Any ideas? Did the address of the screensaver move?  Trying to fix this.

For anyone who is wondering why the single-stream URLs that you are using from your BI web server have been crashing your BI, they seem to have broken that functionality in the last few releases. 

My single stream URLs that I was using e.g. http://192.168.1.*:82/mjpg/Cam5/video.mjpg&user=username&password=password 

started crashing BI. Regardless of how I was accessing (through a web browser or through actiontiles).. it just crashed it every single time.

The BI version I was using was 5.2.9.7. This is the latest release from the 2nd of May 2020. I reverted back to a release from April 5.2.8.3 and it works again.

I recently updated my streams and BI to support sub-streams to control the CPU usage, It seems like the new release had some improvements for the webserver and they inadvertently broke previous single camera stream functionality. THe new release has very good improvements for when you access BI through the main server URL and port.. it would stream substream and transcode to the main stream so you get the best of both worlds through the webserver.. i love that, however it broke my much needed single stream URLs that I love seeing on actiontiles.

Anyway, long story short, if you are confused about whats going on, I found the bug. 

I have now emailed support informing of this bug and I would urge you all to do the same so that we can get single stream URLs working again for action tiles.

Seems obvious, but probably a challenge, to support Ring cameras with the Media Tiles.
