How about a tile that combines multiple contact sensors? On my phone it takes up a lot of space to have a tile for each sensor. Could we have one that says "All doors - closed / Door open". Then if a door is open have a pop up window that lists the open doors.

Another description from Merged Topic:

Would it be possible to add a summary tile, for the purpose of summarizing a bunch of similar devices?

For example - if any open/close sensor (in a specified group of sensors) is open, display an orange tile, else a gray tile. Possibly if you tap on the tile it would take you to a user-defined panel (which the user would have set up up to display the appropriate devices).

I thought about setting up a virtual switch, but I don't see a way to have that switch represent "all windows closed" vs. "any window open".

Another example (more complicated than I need, but might be useful to some) - the average, minimum, and maximum temperatures of a set of temperature sensors.

My rationale - on my main panel I have an "at a glance" section that displays the status of three doors (open/closed) and two door locks (locked/unlocked). I have now added 6 window sensors, which would make the "at a glance" be more like a novel.

Thanks.

So this is the URL i want to add so that it posts STILLS of the traffic nearby every X amount of seconds.

Only threads I found were from several years back, and no resolution.  Is it possible to have a tile, ideally with HEOS and Logitech logos, that take me to those apps on my Kindle Fires?

I have my main panel for SHM. I have a virtual switch tile to arm my alarm with a delay through CoRE and the pin protected SHM tile to disarm and a panel shortcut tile to all my devices. I also disabled the Panel Options on this panel with the thought of having this panel as a "kiosk". Are there any plans to pin protect the panel shortcuts also so no one can access my devices or panel options by going into that panel?

I would love to be able to set a password on short cuts rather then doing each individual tile. (Eg. All the security objects on tile then have a shortcut on the main tile with a lock on it to the security tile.  

I've got action tiles on my iPad which is amazing when it works. At least once a week I've noticed that when I get up it is displaying "connecting" with the spinning orange icon. I end up needing to delete the bookmark, add the bookmark again, sign back in and it will work for a few days and go back to "connecting". Any solutions if you've ran into this before? Thank you!

Anyone in here uses a PTZ cam that is 4K in resolution and works with AT and Blue Iris?

Currently I have a wyze cam, but I think I need something better.

So I also have this issue where the camera feeds freeze.. will reducing the frame rate in BI help?

Whats the ideal frame rate for the feeds not to freeze. I am using the latest gen FireTAB's 10".

Does it also mean, if i reduce the frame rate, it will depricate the frame rates while recording the video to the DVR? is there a way to just decrease the frame rate for streaming, but True frame rate while storing the feeds?

When touching tiles on my phone, it would be great if I could get an animation to indicate I've hit it. Like if it flashed 3 times or spun 3 times, etc.

Can you make the Mode and Routines Pop-up Screen font Larger or Customizable (preferred)?

A month ago, my 2 Blackberry playbook tablets stop presenting (having access) to the actiontiles app. At the beginning I thought that the problem is related to the old units (wifi issue), but only today when I had the time to look at it, I have found that the WiFi is OK and I can browse other sites, including www.actiontiles.com.

I have checked it on a few browsers - but w/o any success.

1. Was there any security update (around a month + ago), that preventing from the Blackberry playbook tablet to connect to the app ? (Knowing that this tablet is working on an old OS - I think it is equal to Android 2.5) .

2. Is their anyway I can still use them with your app ? any recommendations ?

Thanks

I have configured BI on a dedicated PC, and have setup a few camera feeds. I am able to view these feeds on Chrome and Safari browser.. but on my AT using Fully Kiosk I am not able to view it.

Here are my web sever settings.

Here's my action tiles feed

As you can see i can see the camera feed, but this is in chrome browser.. but it wont show up on fully kiosk. What am i doing wrong.

My wife has challenged me to create a tile that looks at the weather forecast for the day and tells the kids what kind of clothes/coats to wear that day (Michigan weather...right?)

Before I go down this journey of discovery I was wondering if anyone has done anything like this?  Essentially I believe that it needs to call on something like openweather and then output based on parameters i set.  It then needs to create a jpg of that and deploy it to a webserver that i'll run off a raspberry pi with python.  

Worse comes to worse i'll just do an excel formula on a cheap screen, point a RPI camera at it and stream that.  (i've got that code).  

Any ideas?

I have noticed that any Hue lamps, etc., and other Sensors, etc.,  that are unavailable due to no power or connectivity issues are displayed with "normal" or "active" status in ActionTiles.

In the case of Hue, the Hue and SmartThings apps show them as "unavailable" or "OFFLINE"

This value seems to come from the "status" Attribute generated when Device Health is enabled.

Does anyone know if a thin micro USB cable, such as those used on Qi wireless charging receivers, exists? (see photo). On the Qi charger it connects directly to a charging pad. What I would be looking for would be one that ends in a USB connector. Is this even possible?

I feel like this  would be an ideal solution for a wall mounted tablet without a big case to hide the cord. I know there are low profile cables, but they still would stick out farther than I'd prefer. This cable/ribbon would be almost flush with the side of a tablet and wrap around the back to go into a recessed outlet with a charging block or a USB/outlet.

Hi

I created 2 custom location modes in the SmartThings IDE, but only the 3 standard location modes are available when I tap on the ActionTile Mode tile.

I have a camera that is mounted in portrait view. I'd like to be able to create a media tile the rotates it 90 degrees. Is this possible?

I just bought the HD 8 on sale for like $59 or so, its the kind with amazon ads, i am hoping they dont mess with actiontiles at all! do they?

Also, are most people not loading android like lineage os on these things? it seems the hardware was cracked w/ a cpu exploit and you can load unlocked android on to these things for a while now and it seems like its quite stable?

if so, are there performance gains from removing amazon crap/bloat/os and loading stock android w/ lineage os? any downsides/upsides?

it seems most use fully kiosk browser w/ android fire os, so maybe its pointless? thx

Current Sonos Bug:

1. With 1 Sonos Tiles added: everything works as expected (play, pause, content display OK)
2. With 2 Sonos Tiles added: play/pause status and content display are all the same across both tiles. When I press play/pause on Sonos tile #1, Sonos #1 responds appropriately, but the play/pause status and content display on Sonos tile #2 mirrors that of Sonos tile #1. Vice versa when I do the same test on Sonos tile #2.
3. With 3 (or more) Sonos Tiles added: Similar test results as #2.

In summary, the actual tiles appear to allow control of the specific Sonos speaker in a multi-Sonos environment, but the display of ALL the Sonos tiles will mirror that of the last Sonos tile that was last played or paused.

Previous Bug (resolved):

There's a new issue related to Sonos that we are tracking. We got 5 reports of this bug in the last two days. This must be due to something that was changed on the SmartThings side since we didn't change anything on our end. We are trying to figure out what the problem is and find a solution.

This Bug was resolved for environments with a single Sonos device added to ActionTiles. Please see above for a new Bug that affects ActionTiles users with multiple Sonos devices on their Panel(s).

I'm using the SimpleEventLogger smartapp, currently dumping temperature data data into GoogleSheets (as I've been too lazy to set up a local DBMS until now). It dumps raw sensor data into a sheet and it looks like this

Note: When setting up Simple Eventlogger, under Other options there's "Include additional columns for short date and hour?" Be sure to turn that option ON as we'll need it. (that's column G in the screenshot above) To preserve space set "Delete Extra Columns?" ON as well and set archive type to Out of space. Once your sheet runs full, SimpleEventlogger will rename the sheet and start a new fresh sheet every blue moon, depending on your number of sensors and logging frequency.

Second step is to set up the =QUERY function in google sheets to pull out the last 24 hours.

Mine looks like this. It's a fugly hack but it works.. kinda:

=QUERY(RawData!B:G,"select B,C,D,F,G where C = 'temperature' and F >= date '"&TEXT(DATEVALUE(today()-1),"yyyy-mm-dd")&"'",1)

Third step is to split all the sensor data out into columns for each sensor and create an average datapoint for each sensor per hour. That's where column F above is important, as that's the hour. We need to average as some sensors might be spitting out temperatures every few minutes, so even if I configure your SmartApp only to scan every 30 minutes, it'll pick up all those past sensor readings (haven't quite figured out how to get around thaT)

Anyway, my pivotal thing looks like this:

=Query(B:F, "select F, avg(D) group by F pivot B format avg(D) '###,#0.0'")

As we are grouping by the hour number and the hour number will always be between 00 and 23, this query will always  generate 24 rows, one for each hour, with the average temperature for each sensor in columns J-S. Graphing this is relatively easy and you should be able to figure that out on your own (it's the fun part) However, let me explain G and H below. 

Column H is just a static list of numbers which indicate the hour. I use this to build the X-axis on the graph.

I wanted the graph to show an hour marker for the current hour as the graph does a cyclic update left to right, i.e. it's helpful to see where current time of day is on the graph. Next to the pivotal tables, I inserted the following formula in all cells G1-G24:  =if($H2=hour(now()),$A$8,$A$10)

The formula contains a static reference (the $ stuff) to a couple of cells where I store the marker extents.

A8 contains the integer value 35 (the value to graph for the current hour)

A10 contains the integer value 0 (the value to graph for any other hour)

Graphing column G will then produce a little "spike" in the graph for the current hour, as shown by the yellow arrow below:

Note: for some reason mine is an hour ahead and even though I've set the timezone for the sheet, it's still borked...)

Once you got the graph running, all you need to do is publish it. Be sure to use the Image option under the Embed menu, as nothing else will work with AT. Copy the full URL from https:// to include format=image, but get rid of the iframe around the url.

Create a new media URL in AT and paste it in. Set the update interval to your preference, I'm running mine at 1800 seconds (half hour) update intervals.

That's pretty much all I've done, yet full disclosure it's not completely working as it's supposed to. Sometimes the graphs re-arrange themselves without prior consent from me. Some sensors just seem to drop off the graph even though there's still data for them. No idea why this happens yet, So there's still a few kinks to be worked out, yet I hope this is useful to some of you.
