I have 4 wall mounted Kindle Fire 8s running ActionTiles with FullyKiosk browser and DAK Board sleep screen.  In the past month, one or two of the panels will show “connecting” while the others are fine. I have had this setup for a year with few issues.  This “connecting” screen issue however is recurring on a weekly basis.  I see there was a prior thread on this that is now closed, but I am curious if there is any solution other than returning to home screen and logging back in.  Any input would be appreciated.

I have a Lyric Round thermostat that works well with Smartthings and ActionTiles but I have to adjust the temperature 1 degree at a time. Is there a way to just tap a tile and set a temp, say having a tile for 58 and 68 degrees?

Hi there!

My weather service provider has open data in XML, GRIB, JavaScript, PHP formats.

Not sure how to integrate any of these, any pointers would be fantastic!

Open data sources:

I’m trying to find a good way to get the weather forecast for my location in Canada.  There doesn’t seem to be a SmartThings device that exposes the high/low forecast for the day without custom code.  (The Accuweather tiles don’t seem to work at all).  Would it be best to pursue a media item from a URL?  

Or am I just missing something obvious?

Folks,

Perhaps cheating here a bit, but you can get a Google play music control visible on your full screen actiontile. 

1. Use chrome browser and go to your extensions. Search for the official google play music player extension. After installing, open the extension.

2. use casting extension to cast music on tab to your chromecast (audio) device. The music you are casting should now run via your chromecast (check this)

3. Open the actiontiles via a new tab, login and run full screen

You will notice the google music player overlaps the full screen and holds full functionality. Just design you tiles around it and it feels like an integrated player. A bit of a cheat, but works well and is really easy to setup. 

Obviously you cannot integrate this with any triggers or automation, but I have a permanent screen that remains connected to audio and ST via action tiles. Once you want to switch off music it a simple pause and move on with your life. Back home, simple tab on play and your music takes off where you left it.

If you have the task bar pop up, you can also use windows settings to unlin taskbar as I did. 

I am new to Actiontiles and have been soaking everything up. I noticed in panel galleries that a lot of people have room temps. What are they using to get that?  Is it just a st multi sensor, a motion sensor or something else? I searched the forums and can’t seem to find an answer. The forum’s knowledge is much appreciated. Cheers! 

Hello,

Is there any way to customize the title fo the Tilesets?  I like to name them by device types and like to see that in different font and size.

Thanks

I found a way to view my current and historical production of my Tesla solar panels. When I add the link into AT as media it doesn't display correctly. Does anybody have an idea on how I can add a still image of my current production that updates every hour or so...similar to a weather tile?

Hi-

Using blue iris 5 and Actiontiles with a new Google Nest mesh Wifi. Google nest creates a new subnet so all my cameras are there on the ‘86’ subnet. I also moved my blue iris server to a wired connection off the google router. Also on the ‘86’ subnet. I modified the urls in Actiontiles for the new BI server address. I am also using fully kiosk browser. The cameras will not show up in Actiontiles. Not sure if there are some ports that need forwarding or not, I would assume so.

Any ideas?

I need to know how ActionTIles is accessing my BI web server, what path does it take? The addresses used are obviously private addresses so AT just uses the local network? I also have an issue with actually seeing that the Blue IRis Server web server port '81' is actually open. Can't find it.

I have read all the threads around Ring but it seems all of them are outdated.

In the latest ST app I can see a video of the doorbell and stickup cams from my home.

I also see that the device handlers expose the RTSP URI for the cams now.

Is there a reason why this cannot be done in ActionTiles as well?

So I'm in the final stages of my Fire HD 8" Kiosk which will display

actiontiles for SmartThings and my outside cameras. Can someone tell me

which wires in the box I would connect to?

Switch on left goes up to bathroom fan. On right goes to ceiling light

fixture. There's another GFCI plug over the the left and an power outlet

below the Tablet location near the floor.

Based on the instructions, which nut should I tap into?

I just want to use a camera that I can display streaming video within a Media Tile on an ActionTiles panel on my Android Nexus 9 tablet. It can be an indoor camera that costs as much as $1000. Also, I am willing to change my browser fro Chrome to something else. So far, I can do everything that I want to do except monitor my front door.

Is there anyway to change a button to an on position without changing the status of the device?

Is it possible to have the Time/Date tiles to formatted differently? i.e bigger font for the date, bigger overall tile, reduce space between the date and the time, etc?  I don't have much on my dashboard at the moment, so my idea is to have a time/date tile to take up most of the screen space, so I could use it as a wall clock.  

Hi, wondering if anyone else are doing something along these lines.

I have several devices for which I wish to offer a set of choices using tiles.

Example 1: Run poolpump at 1200, 2900 or 3450 rpm

Example 2: Run sprinklers for 5, 10 or 20 minutes.

Example 3: Pan outdoor camera to position 1,2,3...N

So far I've manage to McGyver this by creating tiles for virtual switches and having a CASE statement in webcore turn the others off when one is pushed, setting variable values as required (if anyone wants to know how to set it up, contact me separately):

the above all works nicely, but it's slooow. Some times it can take up to 5-8 seconds before the previous button in an emulated radio button set is released as I have to wait for webcore to flip the other switches and do it's thing.

Dear Terry/Alex. Was wondering if you had given though to if it was possible to somehow bring this capability into AT? As I'm sure you'd agree given the few examples above, the possibilities are vast and many.

I suppose that besides my webcore-frankensteining multiple tiles into one radio-button, there are other more neat and efficient ways to implement a selection GUI element (perhaps a single tile offering the equivalent of dropdown selection box?)

However I guess the real question is how to communicate said selection back to smartthings. What if it was agreed to use a custom virtual button/button panel DTH, where the button pressed was equivalent to the selection? Would that make any sense?

Even though this feature request probably would not be around the corner any time soon, I'd love to hear your initial thoughts on it

Thanks,

Max

Hi

Just getting into AT, have been playing with creating my own theme but very limited. Looking to further customise CSS so can change things like hover colour, border colours etc.

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction? Comfortable with HTML and CSS coding.

Thanks

Scenario:

Kiosk Brower

Screensaver with Dakboard

Action Tiles with Media image (refresh every 5 seconds)

The Media image does not refresh anymore after leaving screen.

This was working...

If I try in Chrome works fine. Anyone with same issue?

This may have been asked already, but I couldn't find it...

Is it possible to make available the option to refresh a URL based  background image like is available for Still Images Media Tiles?
