der faust 4 years ago in Media Tiles / Weather & Traffic updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 4 years ago 1

hello :).... is there a way to display a local sensor like the aeotec multisensor 6 in the format of a smart weather station tile?...  it would be cool to be able to have multiple things on one tile.

Auto Resize Font

The Damien 4 years ago in Configuration & Settings updated 4 years ago 3

It would be RAD if the tile fonts resized themselves accordingly when the tile is resized. That would be super helpful vs having to create a new theme.

Weather Tile city problem

Emmett Flaherty 4 years ago updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 4 years ago 1

Hello,

I'm trying to create a Weather tile using this link: https://support.actiontiles.com/knowledge-bases/8/articles/3182-media-tile-generator-mtg-jggdev-weather-calendar-news . The problem is, when I enter my location loc=Wennigsen, DE I get an error. I checked the city here: https://openweathermap.org/city/2811072 and it works there (the next city near me also with the tile: https://mtg.actiontiles.com/weather.php?loc=hannover,%20de).


Thanks in advance!

WebCORE piston call SHTM not delaying

Bryan Mack 4 years ago updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 4 years ago 1

I have a WebCORE piston that executes properly if I "Test" the piston in WebCORE, but if I execute it via a button in Actiontiles, it doesn't perform as expected. It is regarding a virtual switch that sets the SHTM to "away" mode. I want it to delay 180 seconds. The WebCORE piston is as such:


With virtual switch
Wait 180 Seconds
Set virtual switch to "On"


So when I "test" the piston, it does this. I set up a shortcut in actiontiles to the piston, and put a button on my panel. When I press the button, it doesn't process the line that waits 180 seconds. Pretty stumped as to why. I've confirmed it's pointing to the correct piston.

New scenes/routines not available to add to a panel.

Doug Colt 4 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 4 years ago 3

Upgraded to the new SmartThings app three days ago and as of today, I cannot for the life of me get any new scenes to show up so that they can be added to a panel.  I've tried authorizing through the iOS app, the Android app, and via the Action Tiles website on my laptop.  I've clicked synchronize and initialize countless times.  No matter what I do, none of my new scenes show up in ActionTiles.  No problem with the old ones.  Any ideas on a workaround for this?

Bloomsky Image

KevinJ 7 years ago in Media Tiles / Images updated by bd0g 4 years ago 19

New to ActionTiles and I can't seem to figure out how to get my Bloomsky Weather Picture to show up? I have it setup as a device in SmartThings and I am getting the readings from the Bloomsky but I don't see where I can add the image. Is this possible?

Bloomsky -Current image Display- Was working great, but recently stopped working

bd0g 4 years ago updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 4 years ago 1

I have been able to display and update the current sky view from my Bloomsky Weather station / Camera for quite some time within a Media Dashboard tile.  I used the custom php script and it is located on a free hosting webserver. I set the update interval to 900 seconds as I think the Bloomsky image updates every 5 minutes or so. I can no longer display the image within a tile . I CAN display the image using the latest version of the Chrome Browser using this URL http://bloomsky.rf.gd/bloomSkyLatest.php

What I used to have to do upon initial ActionTiles Dashboard loading was to visit the URL for the BloomSky image directly within the Google Browser and then choose Update to allow the image to be displayed within the Dashboard tiles.  If I use that method now it will show the latest image via the browser , but not within ActionTiles.

Tile that isn't a binary switch?

Donnie Iorio 4 years ago updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 4 years ago 1

Hey everyone!

I recently bought a new washer and dryer that are Wifi Connected and integrate with IFTTT.  Here's what I want to do:

IFTTT Trigger for End of Washer Cycle -> Turns on Virtual Switch: WASHER DONE

IFTTT Trigger for Start of Dryer Cycle -> Turns off Virtual Switch: WASHER DONE

IFTTT Trigger for End of Dryer Cycle -> Turns on Virtual Switch: CLOTHES READY

Smart Button Push -> Turns off Virtual Switch: CLOTHES READY


So I know how I could integrate this in AT with two tiles, one for Washer Done, one for Clothes Ready... but is there an option to create a virtual switch that has three options? (I could customize the status' in DH - so there could be a 'WASHER DONE', 'CLOTHES READY', and a null option"


Looking forward to hearing your ideas! Thanks everyone!

Static text on a tile?

Ryan McGinty 5 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated by Brian Diehl 4 years ago 5

I am wondering what the recommended method to simply add a tile that has information on it is? For instance, I am making an "Emergency Info" with the address, phone numbers for non-911 emergency services in my area etc. I just need to create a tile and essentially give it a caption. I've searched for other topics, but most get more complicated than what am looking to do. Is there a simple method to accomplish this? Thanks in advance for any information!

Calendar based access to panels

Appleguru 4 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Sharing 0

I am currently using RBoy’s rental lock automater coupled with a Google calendar / iCal link to provide rotating access to family members. Each member us their own access code for door locks/etc, and these only work for their “months” (which rotate). I’d like to provide access to a panel to allow them to set the thermostat/unlock doors/open the garage/etc, but *only* when it’s their month/when they’re staying at the house. Is there any way to do this without manually adding/removing shared access for different users every month?


If an iCal link is too hard, a CSV of emails/dates for access or similar could work... Any thoughts on how to make this work would be greatly appreciated!

SmartthingsTile Combined with Panel Shortcut

Upped 4 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 4 years ago 1

Is it possible to have a ST device tile bring up a different panel when clicked? 

I have my Door/Window sensors combined into a virtual switch in ST and showing on my dashboard. I would like to be able to click the tile and take me to my "Security" Panel. I could accomplish this with two tiles, but just want to be sure I can't accomplish this.

SmartThings Routines

MattS 4 years ago updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 4 years ago 1

SmartThings classic just forced me to merge everything to the new app. I can’t create any new routines, and the ActionTiles doesn’t recognize scenes (as far as I can tell). Is there an update or workaround coming?

ActionTiles switches to different panel on its own

thenrich 4 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 4 years ago 7

I have a “main” panel (overview/dashboard) with a tile to open a “lights” panel (that has ALL the light controls). Every couple days, the dashboard just switches itself to the lights panel. I’ll go to bed and it’s on the main panel, then in the morning it’s on the lights panel. Neither my wife nor me touched it in the meantime.

help? not a huge issue but definitely annoying when the point of the main view is to be the ever-present overview at a glance.

running through FullyKiosk on an Amazon Fire HD 8, if it makes a difference.

Battery Tile Color Change

Derek C 5 years ago in Configuration & Settings updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 4 years ago 5

Is there a way to get a tile that shows battery level to change to a different color when the battery level is low?

Answer

Derek, when battery level is <= 25%, it's intent is set to Accent. When it's <= 5% the intent is set to Warn. The intents colors change according to Panel Theme.

added an additional tablet to actiontiles on same account

SugarVee 4 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Sharing updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 4 years ago 1

I have been using actiontiles on Fire HD10 tablet for awhile now and am adding an additional tablet. I tried sharing panels and that worked well except I am not able to view my Camera feeds. So I bought another license, but I am not sure how to see the same panels. What am I missing? Thanks

Fully Error Too Many Redirects

Michael Import 4 years ago in Browsers Tablets Phones / Amazon Fire updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 4 years ago 5

I've been successfully using Fully Browser and ActionTiles for years on an Amazon Fire 7 that I modified using a published utility that worked perfectly.  It suddenly stopped connecting to AT with error messages that are a mix of ERR:: TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS and ERR:: NETWORK_CHANGED_ERR.  I'm also unable to load Actiontiles.com on the Chrome browser on that tablet.  Microsoft Edge still opens the panel that I display on that tablet, but I would like to go back to using Fully.  I can still use AT on all my other devices.  I already contacted Fully and their response is below.  Any ideas?

thank you for using Fully Kiosk.

ERR::NETWORK_CHANGED_ERR and ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS are issues usually caused by the web server. If you try with other web browser like Google Chrome you should get the same result. Even on another device.

Custom tiles: group room information/controls into a single tile

SteveP 4 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated by Tom Bering 4 years ago 2

Not sure if there is already a feature request for this, couldnt find it, but please point me to it if there is.

I would like to group information/tiles for a single room. I know have different tiles from a single device, that really clutters the screen if you have a lot of rooms. Ideally you would also be able to include a light group/virtual switch


So the ideal user case, for example in case of heating/temp/humidity


min 2x2 tile


       Bedroom

Thermostat -  20*  +

Room temperature 26*

Humidity 40%

Lights OFF  /  ON or icon
