August Lock Functionality
All:
I was excited that August Smart Locks are now officially supported in SmartThings. Post here (https://august.com/blogs/home/introducing-our-newest-integration-august-smartthings).
I have this set up and working in SmartThings. When I added it to ActionTiles today, I am able to see it and create a lock tile and a sensor tile. However, is there any way to combine these similar to my Garage Door tile with MyQ rather than having 2 tiles?
The type in graph.api.smartthings.com is showing it as "placeholder" with "No states found." Just curious if there is anything else that can be done or I should select to make this better.
Thanks!

simulated co2 sensor - highlighting
Hi,
I've created a simulated CO2 sensor DH (basically by butchering the simulated temperature sensor DH). This allows me to display a number in a tile without an associated unit (like degrees or %)
Is there any way I can set this so that at a certain value, ActionTiles can tell this is a warning condition and change the tile colour accordingly?
Put another way, how does actiontiles know when other DHs are in alert conditions?
Use case: I'm trying to create a summaries tab that tells me how many doors/windows are open and how many lights are on and various other summaries so that I can have one sheet which gives me an overview of the whole house. (Summarising is being done in webcore). - so if there's one or more windows open I'd like actiontiles to highlight the tile.
I realise mine is likely an uncommon use case - but surely with any environmental monitor it would be useful to move into alert status once a monitor hits a specific high or low value?
Thanks
Intent URL for Google Chrome Remote Desktop for IOS
Would anyone have the launch url for the chrome remote desktop app on the ipad. I would like to open that app with a special tile.
Compatibility with other platforms?
wow! this seems like a beautiful way to have quick intuitive access to my smart home controls. Its just a shame it only works with SmartThings ... Is there any plan to expand to other smart home platforms? I specifically use Axial Control with an Aeon Labs stick on a windows PC, but I'm sure owners of other hubs would love to have AT as their visible interface.
We've actually answered this dozens of times, so I'm just leaving this open for discussion until I get a chance to merge or paste in any existing answers.
ActionTiles is not a portal app. It is the #1 Dashboard Panel builder for SmartThings, which, in turn, is the #1 smart home platform, which, in turn, can intergrate with hundreds and hundreds of devices (Things) from many different vendors. It would take a significant distraction and diversion of our resources to integrate with "other platforms". Not saying it won't ever happen; but this is further down on the to-do list than Features which will benefit our thousands of existing, loyal Customers.
Question Mark instead of Icon
Came across another issue. When I created a tile for my location based on my cellphone, the tile icon became a question mark instead of the assigned icon.
Sonoff Wall Light Switches
Hello. Having a hard time integrating my sonoff 3 gang wall switches I have linked below to AT. I dont need to control them, I just need the tile to show when status of the lights (on/off) so I can use Alexa to turn them off. I just need notifications, not control just to make things easier. I tried IFTTT, but I'm currently struggling.
Please help.

IKEA FYRTUR Window blinds
Hi all,
I have IKEA FYRTUR Window blinds and on my Actionstiles I only see a Battery, no switch option. This is despite that in ST and in the ST app, I have full control of thye blinds including opening and closing. It would be really great to have my blinds on my Actiontiles tablets.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Capability Window Shade - Rolling Shutter Tile type
I installed Fibaro roller shutter and in Action Tiles it shows as type "Switch".
This means that it will show the open percentage of the roller shutter correctly but it will show OFF only when it will get to 0 %.
So even when the roller shutter is 3% the status will be ON .
In SmartThings it shows closde as I set the open/close offset to 45 %.
This make a confusion as I see it as open but it's not open .
Is there a way to make this the same as SmartThings status ?
presence sensor shows ? - how to change initial value?
Hello all,
I have set up two presence sensors (iphones via the classic app). They are showing as ? on the tile. So, I hit the forum and saw the advice that it is because the Device Type Handler doesn't have a value set for "attribute switch". Makes sense. I fired up the IDE and sure enough...
Current States | No states found |
I can't see where to edit the device to add states to this Device Type Handler, and my Googling is failing me. Can anyone help? Thanks.
Fire OS update issues
My Fire HD8 tablet I just setup for my SmartHome without Amazon link decided to update and now wants to link to Amazon. Do I have to factory reset and reload all APK files for Fully and Actiontiles to work again or is there a way around the linking?
Unwanted behaviour when viewing MJPEG media tiles with MacOS/Safari - Probably Apple's Fault
Environment
I am using MacOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra) and Safari 13.1 on an older (2011) iMac
I am using VLC to transcode RTSP streams into MJPEG per this thread https://support.actiontiles.com/communities/12/topics/3033-using-vlc-transcode-video-rtsp-stream-to-mjpeg using an in-home Debian 10 server
(FYI - Two of my three cameras are WYZE PanCam with the RTSP firmware loaded - so far so good...)
ActionTiles
I have three panels linked together and ONE of the panels has three camera feeds on it.
When I navigate to that panel the camera feeds begin rendering, WOO HOO!
Issue
When I navigate AWAY from the panel with the camera feeds Safari keeps rendering the MJPEG streams in the background. BOO!
I can observe this in the network tab in Safari's developer tools and with the Activity Monitor program which is similar to the linix/unix 'top' command.
Firefox 76.x and Chrome 81.0.4044.138 on the same machine do not exhibit this behavior. They stop rendering panels that are not visible
OPINION
As the title says, this is probably a Safari bug, or Apple just being Apple, but I wanted to post for informational purposes at a minimum.
My work-around solution is to avoid using Safari for this particular use-case.
Axis camera viewing with user&pwd
i hve had AT working with axis cameras for a while. The problem is the axis companion app does not allow for anonymous viewing. How can i add the user and pwd to my media tile url?
How to add Sticky Notes
Hi all !
I looked around the forum but didn't find anything written on this other than a request.
Here's how to have sticky notes in AT (I wanted an easy way for everybody at home to be able to leave and delete notes)
I downloaded: Sticky Notes from the play store
Then in AT add a shortcut in My Shortcuts; use this link (and add the name you want):
intent:#Intent;launchFlags=0x10000000;component=harman.notes.sticky.hrmnbhutni/harman.notes.sticky.hrmnbhutni.MainActivity;end
Now add this shortcut tile to your Panel and you're good to go ! A sticky note will appear and will stay on-screen at all time until deleted.
(I did this on my fire tablet but I'm assuming it will be the same on all android devices)
Capability Color Temperature control
ActionTiles currently does not support controlling Capability Color Temperature. This would be a useful addition, in order to adjust the white temperature of such bulbs, in the same way colour can be adjusted for colour bulbs.
Feature request: Folders for panels, media and shortcuts
Hi, I'm coming up on quite the number of panels, shortcuts and media for various purposes.
I would like to suggest implementation of administrative folders. Initially they don't have to serve any other purpose than organizing panels. For example, I have a number of panels called ZBackup-<panelname> which drops them to the end of the list, however it would be nice to be able to get them off the main list of panels.
I think there's some legs to this idea as a later iteration of this folder feature perhaps could allow setting common configuration for the items in said folder, for example change theme for all panels in folder. This could address the feature request to assign default themes: https://support.actiontiles.com/communities/12/topics/1225-set-a-global-default-panel-theme-for-entire-actiontiles-account)
Thanks,

How do I control color temperature with a tile?
I've noticed with color fixtures (Hue, sylvania LED, etc.) that the tile color picker does not effect color temperature. For example, with Sylvania LED light strips, when I adjust the color picker in the white range the white LEDs (visible on the light strip) never come on. But when I adjust color temperature in ST they do come on.

ecosmart light bulbs
I purchased some eco smart bulbs from Home Depot and added them to SmartThings. These bulbs can be dimmed and also adjust the color temperature. The first screenshot shows how they appear in SmartThings. However when adding them as a tile in AT I can adjust the dimming but there is no color temperature adjustment - see second picture.
Homescreen widget
Has anyone found a good app that will allow ActionTiles to display on the android homescreen as a widget? I tried one called Web Widget but it wouldn't auto log me in (and wouldn't bring up a keyboard to do so anyway!)
