Capability Color Temperature control

Luke 8 years ago in Things & Capabilities updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 16 3 duplicates

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

Max R 5 years ago in Panels (dashboards) 0

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,

Max

How do I control color temperature with a tile?

mr smith 5 years ago in Things & Capabilities updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 7

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

Steve Brightman 5 years ago in Things & Capabilities updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 4

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

Haden Cruickshank 8 years ago in Browsers Tablets Phones updated by KamHouse 5 years ago 7

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!)

Please update Google Chrome...

Nick Marques 5 years ago in Browsers Tablets Phones / Android updated by KamHouse 5 years ago 6

Hi all,

I just did a clean install (rooted!) of a Fire 7 (austin) tablet that I've been running for a couple years now. I installed Fully Kiosk Browser and when I go to the Action Tiles panel, I am getting a "Please update Google Chrome..." message. Is this message coming from AT or from FKB? Any fix?

Arlo camera feed

Marc Cottee 5 years ago in Media Tiles / Video Camera Feeds updated by Kevin1 5 years ago 1

Hi,

I'm just about to buy the licence and start configuring AT on a Raspberry Pi.  I use a combination of Smartthings and IFTTT to control my devices.  One of the things I was hoping to do was view my Arlo camera feed on a tile, however all the posts I read say that it's not possible.

I'm struggling to find any recent posts though, most are years old - and so I wonder if that's still the case.

Can someone please confirm whether or not it's possible to view Arlo camera feeds on a tile?

Share Your Themes Here

Sgni 7 years ago in Colors Icons Fonts Themes updated by Chaim Loecher 5 years ago 9

I'm not sure if we should share them as files or as text within the post. 
In the interest of making it obvious what's in the bundle of text right off that bat, I'm posting the full text of the themes in the post. Please let me/us know if we should do it the other way. 

I call this one "Mint Chocolate"...

  "accent-background-color": "#003000",
  "accent-content-color": "#1B5E20",
  "accent-header-color": "#1B5E20",

}

I call this one "Chocolate Cherry", and use it as a night theme...

{
  "accent-background-color": "#200000",
  "accent-content-color": "#400000",
  "accent-header-color": "#500000",
  "info-background-color": "#100000",
  "info-content-color": "#3E2723",
  "info-header-color": "#3E2723",
  "normal-background-color": "#000000",
  "normal-content-color": "#600000",

  "panel-background-color": "#000000",
  "tileset-text-color": "#00C853",
  "warn-background-color": "#D50000",
  "warn-content-color": "#FFD600",
  "warn-header-color": "#FFD600"
}

Note: On both of these, since I haven't actually thought about it much yet, I consider the settings for 'Warn Tile Intent' unfinished, and not a fit with the rest of my themes.

Is there a way for the Presence detector to update via wireless name connection

David Lucas 5 years ago in Browsers Tablets Phones updated 5 years ago 2

As per the title really,

Is there a way for smarthings to update my location / presence by when my phone connects to my home wireless network rather than geo location.

Just that the geo fencing's smallest radius will pick up when I leave home then when I drive up past it it thinks im back home then i'm away again till I drive behind house on dual carriage way and it thinks im back home then away again.

Be much better if when I arrive home and phone connects to wifi that it then alerts i'm home.

Playing Radio Station on Alexa - using Alexa skill

Meital 5 years ago in Things & Capabilities 0

I would like to play radio station on Alexa using a tile.

I have a special skill on Alexa that streams radio stations and is expecting to get the name of the station by voice.

I know this is an Alexa issue/limitation, but I wonder if anyone found a working solution or even a dirty work-around to do that on AT.

Panel shortcut - option to bind to switch

MaxVonEvil 5 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated by Kevin1 5 years ago 3

Hi, I'd like to request a feature by where it's possible to bind the status of a switch device (virtual etc) to how a panel shortcut tile is presented. The use case is that I have a master panel, which breaks out into several sub panels for the house; garage, pool control, office, etc. When something is going on in a given sub panel, I would like it to light up (accent), letting me know something is out of the ordinary. I control all this with a dedicated webcore piston, keeping an eye on the status of specific devices in a given area, flipping a virtual switch,placed as a (security:read-only) tile underneath each shortcut tile, It currently looks like this:

Image 4897


The It works as intended, however it's wasting valuable tile space.

In summary I'd love to see an option by which a shortcut tile's appearance could be modified by way of a switch.

How to set it as a button, instead of a switch

Auror 5 years ago in Configuration & Settings updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 1

Sorry if this is a topic already covered, I tried to do a quick search but couldn't find it.  I have my ActionTiles set up and love it.  I was trying to figure out how to make a tile act as a button, instead of it being a switch.  I wanted to push a button to activate a scene, or even my Roomba, that's it but then ActionTiles illuminate it as if it's on.  If I turn the light off, or when my Roomba returns back to its dock when it's complete, it's done but ActionTiles thinks the scene is active.  Can we set a tile so that it's pushed to activate but then it's off, rather than toggling it to be "on"?

Only show tiles for Open windows and Doors?

Randy Rands 5 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated by atlwolfpack 5 years ago 1

Is there a way to make tiles "disappear" when they meet certain conditions?  My use case is for the alarm - I only want to see tiles for the open windows and doors so that I can see at a glance if there are issues.  Is that possible?

Need help setting up Galaxy Tab E

Macjoel 5 years ago in Configuration & Settings 0

I need help setting up action tiles. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab E 8" because I already have it on hand. I want to be able to do the following


Have dakboard as a background

Have a button in actiontiles to launch the Arlo app (unless someone has figured out a way to show the Arlo cameras in actiontiles

When running Fully, I need to have it to where if someone rings my Arlo doorbell, the Arlo app launches over the top and I can answer it.

I want to have a tab in actiontiles to view my Google calendar.

I also need to be able to have the screen off most of the time and have it activate when the camera detects motion (I know you can do it on fire tablets, how do I do it on a Samsung?)

Please email me at macjoel@ymail.com if you can help

Thanks for any help you can provide

"Plumbing" icons

MaxVonEvil 5 years ago in Colors Icons Fonts Themes updated 5 years ago 2

Hi, love the big new icon packs, however there's a few specific icons I'd like to see added at some point. Those of us who's gone nuts automating everything but the kitchen sink (still thinking about that), could use some specific icons for the following

- pump (currently only a gas station pump icon is available)

- flow meter

- valve

- water softener

- other applicable items (I'm sure there are other ideas out there


Thanks!

Hi Max,

The currently icon library is not infinite but includes 3000 icons, which we hope covers a lot of basis - especially if folks are a little creative and use icons that may resemble the intended device, but have a different name (e.g., a "shower head" icon happens to look a lot like a "range hood light").

There is definitely a Valve ("water-tap"): 



Perhaps readers of this post can suggest other existing icons for the ones you are seeking.

Thanks.

...Terry.

Actiontiles on Samsung Gear S2

Jer Granzy 5 years ago in Browsers Tablets Phones updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 1

I have an old Samsung Gear S2 watch and was looking for a way to get smartthings control on it. Samsung does not have an app in the Galaxy Wear store for the S2, so I found a browser and created a link to actiltiles.

For those that may be interested, the Browser app is called WebBrowser. You need to go to the panel you wish to access on a regular web browser and copy the link and re-type it all into the watch browser (pain I know) then set it as the homepage.

Feature request: "Show device status" checkbox for power meters

MaxVonEvil 5 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated 5 years ago 1

Hi Terry & Alex,

I have a small item which I'd hope you'd consider including in the next update (presuming universal text tiles aren't around the corner just yet)


As of today we have the "Show device status" in the footer section for switch-type tiles and others.

My ask is to have the same option on powermeter-type tiles

Why? Because power meters are the only tile which currently supports showing an integer, which I can fudge backstage

What do I need that for?

So I created a webcore piston, which among other things queries the page count of my printer via it's built in web interface. In the ST IDE I created a virtual power meter, which I'm displaying in AT with the caption "Page count". Unfortunately one can't turn off the footer text/device status for a power meter, so underneath the page count it reads "power (w)", which irks my persnickety sense of order in the cosmos.. :)

Hope this makes sense.

Can the Garage door tile operate a virtual switch?

stanford1621 5 years ago in Things & Capabilities 0

I have multiple garage doors, so I have multiple tiles per garage door on my panel, is there a work around where touching the garage door panel tile (that shows open/close status) to operate that garage door, or have a sensor change the color of a tile?
