Something Big is coming ... i show you my panel 

Hi!

i just Purchased a 15 inch Android Tab for integrating it in my new / old house.

We are still at refurbishment works ... nevertheless i plan to make some deep integration for the tab.

look:

Thoughts ... ?

Do you have the URL for Logitech Harmony Remote app (android) ?

--

My music and video for my entire house is managed by control 4.  Does anyone know how I can launch my Control 4 app from Action Tiles on my Ipads? I see other app info but have no idea where to get the command string from. Thanks ahead of time!

Does anyone use a Surface 3 or Windows 10 tablet? If you do, which browser app do you use that's similar to Fully Kiosk i.e. has full screen mode, has screensaver (I use dakboard) and has camera motion sensing?

Thanks

I have AT running on two Fire 8 tablets identically configured, and using licensed Fully with activate on camera motion configured. This works fine 99% of the time, but occasionally, I will find that AT is at the My Panels screen, the screen is dimmed, and neither motion nor activity on the screen restores the brightness. I have to fumble through Fire Settings on a very dim display and turn the display brightness back up.

Here's the thing. This happens about once every 4-6 weeks on one Fire 8, and several times a week on the other.

Some of my settings that might be pertinent:

• Web Content: Settings/Start URL: https:/app.actiontiles.com
• Device Management: Keep Screen On is enabled, Launch on Boot is enabled, Screen Off Timer is zero.
• Screen Saver: Set Screensaver Brightness to zero, and set Screensaver timer at 120 seconds.
• Motion Detection: Enable Visual Motion Detection on, Turn Screen on Motion on, Exit ScreenSaver on Motion on.

Is there any way to create a custom 'virtual' button/switch that can be tied to a different action? My example is primarily for use with IFTTT. If ActionTiles had a button action (pressed) or switch (on/off) I could add arm/disarm of ARLO and other smart integrations. 

I wonder if it's possible to have a tile set to show the exact map location of a family member through life360. And, if not with life360, would there be any other service possible? I'm looking for something that'll update once every five minutes or so, or faster.

I've been using a SmartThings Weather Tile device on my panels for some time. It's a nice quick way to see current conditions. The last few days, however, it seems to have been "offline"? No updates? Has anyone else seen this? Has anyone fixed it? 

Any plan to integrate support for the WebCore Value Tiles to display the information they contain?

Does anybody know how to stop fully kiosk from closing every couple of hours?

RESOLVED

Google Cloud Support finally acknowledged that this problem was not caused by ActionTiles's code or database usage - after they decided to test moving us to a different server cluster on Thursday 4/04 afternoon.

We are now escalating a post-mortem review with them to determine why it took 4 days for them to execute this remediation, and why they do not have monitoring processes in place to have automatically detected the severe recurring issues with our allocated server cluster.

NB: We suspect that some Customers may have previously experienced occasional severe slow Performance from time to time starting as early as mid-March. There were a few mentions in this same vein on social media, but no replicable cases or traceable indicators. It is always a relief to find and resolve the likely "root cause" of such mysteries.

We apologize to all affected Customers and Trial users for the recurring inconvenience over the past few days.
We are proud of our reliability and stability record: Maintaining that will always be our highest priority.

If you experience any further difficulties, please do not hesitate to contact Support@ActionTiles.com

Sincerely,

...Terry & Alex.

We received several reports that ActionTiles is responded very slowly or not at all - including possibly not listing any Panels or other objects like Media, Themes, etc..

I currently looking for options to power my wall mounted tablet.  (I really DONT want a 120V outlet above my keypad even if its hidden).

Option 1: I currently have a working Vista 20P alarm system with 2 keypads (Amdenco 6139).The keypad is powered from the alarm system (vista 20P).  I want to install my tablet direct above my keypad.  I was wondering If I could wire a 12v to 5v adapter direct to the working keypad.  Please note, Im keeping the keypad working.  Im still trying to find what the MAX output amps on this is. I have the supplemental Power attached but IDK if that applies to the keypads or not. I was hoping since this was a popular panel someone might know. 

Option 2: I do have a single pole light switch near by and was thinking of an inline 120V to 5v-usb and from the just need a small wire up to the tablet. Anyone have suggest on this way? (or links to these?)  I found one.  I would like to "hide" the converter(step down transformer) in the gangbox with the switch.

Thanks

The title is pretty self explanatory, but I should probably explain.

The current layout is functional, but takes a significant amount of time to get configured to a specific screen size or resolution. Allowing the user to start with a grid size of their choosing will allow them to verify the correct size before they begin their layout. Once they have found the correct size, the user could then drag and drop their available tiles onto the grid.

This would eliminate all of the back and forth necessary to do a new panel layout, as well as the need for blank tiles to be added.

I'm having a really hard time finding the streaming link to some of the traffic cams from my city's website:

http://edmontontrafficcam.com/

I've tried inspect element, url sniffers...etc. 

Is there a way to create a tile that will focus in on a specific area of a website? Or is it just through a url only.

Thanks in advance.

WU has ended PWS APIs.   So Dakboard can't pull my weather station data.   That was a NICE feature.   Is there a workaround or another screensaver like Dakboard?

One thing I can't seem to find.   With a typical alarm panel when a zone goes into alarm it will flash on the keypad what zone is in alarm.   So you know where "the bad guys are".    How do I probably bring up a new panel with the zone large that is in alarm when the alarm triggers?

I have one of those 80s style intercoms that the previous owner thought it was great to include in a kitchen remodel from 10 years ago, cutting the hole in the backsplash tile. Without redoing the tile in the whole kitchen, is there a reasonably priced tablet, wall mount that will fit over a 8'x15" hole?

Hi all,

Has anyone found the perfect Panel sizing for the Kindle HD 10 and Kindle 7 by any chance?

To fill the Kindle 7 screen horizontally i have to have some of the tiles cut off at the bottom.

For the HD10 i have to have some blank space along the bottom as the panel does not scale correctly.

It does however scale fine for iPads.

Is there a way to better customise the resolution to fit Kindle devices, as i've tried playing around with everything on the Dimensions tab, but can't quite fit the full screen.

Thanks!
