Ring Alarm security
Is there anyway to integrate Ring Alarm Security With actiontile ? I would like to see all the zones (open/close) in tile format on the Kindle Tablet 10.
Pin protected
It would useful to have possibility to enable the pin for only switch ON - for only switch OFF or for both as it is now.
nest hello password
Feature Request: Add password protected Nest Hello Media Stream.
It works well with no password, publicly shared stream. But for added security, allow for password protected stream.
Actions Tile App (android) can it default to a Panel
I have AT app on my Android phone. When I open the app, it does not go to my preferred panel (starred) but to My Panels. I would like to always go to my starred panel called Phone. Is there a way to do this in the app?
I don't want to use an URL because it does not (or I don't know) how to always open in full mode. I would not like to install another browser if possible (like Full Kiosk)
Authorise things lists - informative headings?
Am I right in guessing that the reason there are so many authorise things lists is that each one represents a capability or property? If so, it would be good if each list instead of being headed "Select more things" actually had the capability or property name in the heading.
Is it possible to move tiles *between* tile sets?
Seems not. Cue card seems to indicate it is possible but so far no luck.
Change value into variable
Hi,
my necessity is change a numeric value into a variable by my action tiles panel …
I’d like to a simulated thermostat (not %) but without the options of a normal thermostat (only up - down and numeric value).
I tried Simulated Dimmer switch but it’s not really that I want …
Can you help me ?
Fully Kiosk locked up-message this app not designed for fire

ST Anything Virtual Contact Sensors
I currently have an Arduino with SmartShield running ST Anything with 4 virtual contact sensors. Is there any way to get the individual virtual contact sensors to show in ActionTiles? I don't think I can just add the capabilities to the DH because that would only be for the Arduino itself and not the virtual sensors. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi Kevin,
See if the concept of "Composite Devices" is applicable in your case.
ActionTiles is able to display only standard Capabilities.
Anyone figure out a way to use Smartlife or Tuya devices with Actiontiles?
Really love actiontiles but I have several smartlife outlets and switches that are not integrated into ST. Is there a solution for
smartlife/tuya devices with ST and/or AT?
Accessing ST variable ?
I have a Webcore piston querying my energy providers electric tarrif price (it changes every 30mins) and Webcore sets a global variable and a tile to show me the current price (p/kw).
I would like to get this variable/price into Actiontiles... how can i do that ?
Can mobile app be made to go straight to a panel by default?
I am trying to set it up on my Fire 7 and I have the Amazon store version of the app installed. Now on a Fire, you can't add URL shortcuts to the home screen so I was hoping to use the App icon which is on my homescreen and have it go straight to displaying a particular panel. This should only apply to that one device - obviously if I log in via my PC I want to be able to access the whole caboodle for configuration purposes.
oAuth Support?
Does ActionTiles support oAuth for authentication with things like Google services (mail, calendar, etc...)?
Authentication works fine if you open AT in a browser, but this doesn't work in the app.
Does this work in a way that I haven't found or is this something that would need to be requested to be added?
Thanks in advance!

Pollen count Tile that would show Pollen Count including decimals
I am trying to convert the Pollen Count number from a Pollen count Device Handler to a Lux number through use of Webcore. The reason for this is I want to have my Actiontiles have a tile that displays the Pollen count in a Decimals format, not just a whole number. Actiontiles does not have a Pollen Count capability, but it does have illuminance.
I already have converted the Pollen Count index measurement to a temperature capability, and that is displayed on my Dashboard as a whole number with the degrees symbol BUT that only gives me a whole number, no decimals.
Any way to convert the Pollen Count to any kind of Virtual Device which does display decimals? Either through webcore or some other means?
Best Capability for a number
I have a custom device handler for my device that uses the following custom attribute..
attribute "RPM", "number"
This just displays as a tile in my device handler that shows the current RPM value of my pool pump for example 3,450 RPM.
I would like to get this into action tiles on my display in a way that best presents that information. My question is what device capability, that action tiles supports, should I change this to in order to best present my information? I'm not dead set on using my custom attribute and do not mind if it's something strange or nonsensical as I just want it to display right on action tiles. I tried power use and temperature and some others but then it displays on a tile that says watts or degrees F which looks funny.
thanks for your help bud I found changing the device to device.carbonDioxide was the golden ticket for displaying the number value as I had hoped!
ActionTiles integrated to my Grafana dashboard
I integrated ActionTiles in to my Grafana dashboard. I'm currently just using it for status.
Here's how the dashboard looks like.
This is how the display looks like on the wall. (Note: I didn't have AT integrated at the time I took the photo)
Although I can't turn devices on/off, I still think it turned out pretty cool!
ActionPiXX - Photo slideshow Media Tiles
First, if this type of post isn't permitted please remove it, thank you.
I’m working on a simple application (it's free) that works like a web server for photos for ActionTiles. Basically you copy this application into a directory and point an ActionTiles Media Tile to the applications IP address. The Application will serve up either a specific requested photo, or if you specify random.jpg it will serve a random photo from the directory.
You can also (optionally) specify different directories for different tablets etc. So you could have vacation photos served to the kitchen tablet, while your spouse gets photos of the kids and the garage tablet shows hunting and car photos all while the ActionTiles media tile points to a single local Web URL.
Photos can be: jpg, jpeg, gif and png.
Example directory layout:
The Application Interface:
If anyone has an interest in this local photo server and wants to help in beta testing this please let me know.
I’m working on this in my spare time so response from me could be slow at times as I work full time.
What this program doesn’t do:
Slideshow the photos in sequence (they are randomly presented).
Access directories outside of its own directory.
Charge for it's use (It's beggar ware)
Have an Apple version.
Thank you,
Jay
ActionTiles Release 6.11.3
ActionTiles release 6.11.0 has been rolled out on June 10, 2020.
New Features
Color Temperature control.
Color Temperature slider will appear in Glass Dialog lights that support this capability. (RGB color light indicator has been removed from tiles, because it was too small to be really useful.)
IFrame Tiles.
The new IFrame Tiles allow you to embed another website into ActionTiles.
Please note that the website for IFrame must be served over HTTPS, otherwise it will not work with ActionTiles.
Your mileage may vary. Not every website is compatible with IFrame.
If you come up with interesting use case, please share with the community!
Some ideas for useful sites that can be used as Tiles:

Ability to select some newer models of garage door controllers, thermostats and window shades.
Updated wording.
Performance optimizations.
Changed event processing server, then rolled back.
Updates
Routines and Classic Smart Home Monitor are deprecated for new users.
SmartThings is pushing to deprecate some features of Classic app and ActionTiles is following suite. New users are often confused between Classic SHM and the new SmartThings Home Monitor. Routines and SHM options will not appear for user accounts created after June 1st.
If you know what you are doing and you need to be able to add routine and SHM Tiles, please contact support to turn on this option for you.
Options for bigger clock sizes.
