SHM and buzzer

37KDeep 5 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 5

I am using a routine to set my SHM to Armed(Away) with the button Arm Away No PIN at my exit door pad. I have a Konnected buzzer with an exit/entry delay (using SHM Delay). I use the same ActionTiles button to arm my system from my bedroom pad when going to bed. I can control the buzzer with webcore (on/off). Is there a way to turn off the buzzer when arming from my bedroom pad so that I don't get the exit delay before going to bed?

Blue Iris: Cycle through cameras?

Shesakillatwo 5 years ago in Media Tiles / Video Camera Feeds updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 3

Within my LAN I have been able to successfully access my Blue Iris Streams from the Service using the method here.  Replacing the "Short_Camera_Name" in this string with "Index"will display the full set of cameras in one screen.  Is it possible to bring up the view which cycles through the cameras with some other name in place of "Short_Camera_Name"???  If so I have not been able to determine what that name is.......

http://IP_Address:Port/mjpg/Short_Camera_Name/video.mjepg

Answer

Actually found my answer after doing some searches.  This can be accessed and works well.  Where I had replaced the "Short_Camera_Name" in the string with "Index" to see all of the Cameras, replacing the "Short_Camera_Name" in the string with "@Index" will have this media tile cycle through all available cameras.   I found pulling in multiple cameras into a panel at one time caused the Blue Iris Server CPU usage to go way up.  Doing this allowed me to have the one tile cycle through the cameras more or less accomplishing what I wanted with one Tile and Stream.

RELEASE v6.9.2: Big Glass UI replaces slide-up drawers for PIN, Dimmer, Light Color, Routines, SHM, etc.

Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago in Announcements / Release Notes updated 5 years ago 19

Minor Release:

  1. Feature: For Tiles with extra controls (like PIN Protected, Dimmers, Color, SHM, Routines, and Modes), the control "slide-up drawers UI" has been replaced with a big pop-up full-screen "Glass UI".

    To dismiss any Big Glass Pop-Up, tap the "X".

    On wide screens, you can dismiss with the swipe-away gesture: UP or DOWN in the margins of the screen (i.e., you can only swipe-away on the left or right area outside the space occupied by the controls - this means that swipe-away is not possible on narrow screens - use the "X" instead.

    Image 3097Image 3099Image 3098


  2. Note: In this Release the old PIN Code implementation is unchanged  for Valve, Momentary, and Image Capture Tiles. The design of these Tiles will be updated soon to match the others.

  3. Thermostat overflow options are not yet using this new Glass UI.

  4. Bug Fixed: Color bulb indicator on Switch Tiles for HSV lights should now indicate the correct color.

Enjoy!


Please contact Support@ActionTiles.com if you encounter issues. Thank-you.

Sonoff / Tasmota / TH10 or TH16

Anyone integrated Sonoff or Tasmota Flashed devices? 

Specifically I am working on displaying pool and hot tub temp reading data from the Sonoff TH10 or TH16. 

I think I can get control to turn on and off Sonoff devices with Tasmota flash by pushing IFTTT Web urls but not usre how to get a read from the Sensors. I can get a device page to return txt version of Temp information. Not sure how to parse it out and display it with action tiles. Loving ActionTiles..

Weather Underground API

gsgentry 6 years ago in Media Tiles / Weather & Traffic updated by Bruce Young 5 years ago 26

I have a PWS (personal weather station) that feeds with the weather underground. I have my own station ID and API Key... is there any way I can get AT to show some of the information from the PWS?


Thank you!

Answer

Yes,


Create a stock Smart Weather Tile device in the ST IDE, then open your mobile app and specify your station ID in the preferences. Then, this device will display the reading from your station.

PIN option to the "Panel Options" button (and PIN Protected Panels)

mcdermott_s@yahoo co uk 6 years ago in Security updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 8

Can the PIN Protect option likely to be added to the floating Panel overflow Options menu button?

Answer

Howdy!


Unless this is trivial to implement, we think the current workaround below is sufficient:

  • Use the "Panel Options" button Shown toggle setting under Panel Settings.
  • By setting this to Off, the only way to escape the Panel to get to configuration pages and config settings is to change the address in the URL bar or use a different browser / tablet.
    • If this setting is used on a Shared Panel and accessed via a Buddy Login, no other Panels or settings will be accessible to the Buddy, even if they can reach a different URL.

           


Thanks,

...Terry.

Video not streaming after screensaver

Ola Mallaug 5 years ago in Media Tiles / Video Camera Feeds updated 5 years ago 2

I have a media tile that is streaming video from Blue Iris. I use Dakboard as a screen saver. This is running on an Amazon Fire tablet.

The media tile is not streaming after dismissing the screen saver (Dakboard). I have to maximize the media tile for the stream to resume.

Anyone had this problem? Any ideas for what I can try to fix this?

DLink Camera

mitchcat2000 7 years ago in Media Tiles / Video Camera Feeds updated by Maltese 5 years ago 16

I have been through the entire feed on using Action Tiles and a live video feed. I found lots of url suggestions, but none that I can get to work. I have 9 DLink cameras with various models that are all connected to my dviewcam dvr on my windows 10 pc. I can also view the camera feed from mydlink.com and the internal ip 192.168.x.x with the assigned user name and ip. I only want to add one of my cameras model DCS-6004L to the action tiles. However all of the url's I have tried fail to connect or even act like they will connect  ie(http://192.168.x.x:80/video1.mjpg?&user=xxxx&pwd=xxxx) will not work in ie, chrome, firefox, edge or action tiles. I am not sure what I am missing, but I would appreciate any feedback from the community.

Preview on PC as various tablet screen size?

Bryan Mack 5 years ago in Browsers Tablets Phones updated by Kevin1 5 years ago 3

I'm doing my action tiles development from a PC, and am developing for a few different devices with different screen sizes. WHen on the PC, is there some kind of option that says "Preview for an 8" screen" (or, preview Amazon Fire 8)...  and then I could "Preview for a 9.7" screen" (or, preview iPad 6th Gen), etc. ? this would be helpful as I don't need every device in front of me -- or, when my panel is mounted, I can see what the adjustment will look like on various panels in my home.

Need ability to "resume" Thermostat Schedule

sflamm 6 years ago in Things & Capabilities updated by Cherokee180c 5 years ago 9

The thermostat device is missing a "resume" capability -- which tells the thermostat to stop holding the current temperature and resume its schedule. 


This is really a bug - as your up/down temperature controls perform a manual hold on the thermostat and the tile provides not way to resume the schedule....

Allow Panel Shortcut to "self" to facilitate consistent layouts

Nashional 7 years ago in Panels (dashboards) updated by Alex (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 9

For consistency between all pages, please allow to us to add all panel shortcuts to all pages. Right now you can't add the panel you're viewing. So the buttons are inconsistent between pages (the third one is not always Living Room because if you're in Living Room you can't add it).

API Calls to external services

Luis Arano (AuthEx) 6 years ago in Things & Capabilities / Non-SmartThings APIs updated by Diego F. Zamora 5 years ago 5

So I mounted a monitor on one of the walls near my kitchen to use Action Tiles.


How cool would it be if we could write our own API calls with expected return values?

For instance, I know we can call out to "Media" and return maps, gifs, video, etc. How about calling out a a weather service (think openweathermap.org) using our own API keys, we could retrieve weather information for whatever timeframe we specify.


I was home alone watching a movie, I walked over to my kitchen and I knew I had put in a Pizzahut order, but it was taking so long. My first reaction was to look at that monitor, not sure why, but I know that if I had a tile where I could enter a webhook, I would totally use it for this and a bunch of other things...


Any thoughts?

Forum non-threaded view?

Kevin1 5 years ago in Feedback about the Forum updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 1

Is there a setting hidden somewhere to disable the threaded view in the ActionTiles forum?  Threaded view makes sense sometimes to keep responses with questions.   I find it hard to find responses in longer discussions.

Thanks!

Performance on New Kindle HD8?

DARK STAR 5 years ago in Browsers Tablets Phones / Amazon Fire updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 12

I've set up a new Kindle Fire HD8 with Fully Kiosk (for Fire OS) and Action Tiles. I'm glad I discovered Action Tiles. This is a really great addition to the SmartThings Ecosystem. 

The only issue I have is that changing panels is a little slow. You can see parts of the page "repaginating" as it comes up. I've tried disabling most of the unnecessary features on the tablet already. Any suggestions to improve speed of transitions between panels?

Thermostat Tile show actual Temperature as main Content

mfdigital1 5 years ago in Panels (dashboards) / Special Tiles updated 5 years ago 2

When displaying thermostats on tiles action tiles shows temperature setting with large numerals and the actual temperature with very small numerals.  Is there a way, and if not, could a setting be had to reverse the way numbers are displayed. It would be nice to know at a glance what the temperature actually is.

Harmony Hub understanding...

patrickprinehart 5 years ago updated by Terry (ActionTiles) (Co-Founder) 5 years ago 0

Now I’m aware that this is not an ActionTiles related issue.  However, I am not fully understanding how the process between an IR Device < Harmony Hub < SmartThings < Actiontiles process works.

I have an electronic fireplace that has an IR remote that is setup and working with Harmony Hub and SmartThings.  When using the Harmony Controller App on an IOS device the fireplace will function as normal.

I added a Harmony Switch for this fireplace into ActionTiles and it was working as desired.  However, sometimes it seems that ActionTiles won’t always work when I try to turn the fireplace on or off.  It’s a hit or miss issue.

Like I stated, I know this is not an issue with ActionTiles but more with SmartThings and it’s control of the device.  However, I haven’t made an attempt to control the fireplace directly from SmartThings since I always tend to use Actiontiles.

Any idea what is causing the interference?  How do these devices need to be setup to all work together?  Just started the process of adding IR remotes.  

Sorry for the post on this message board, I just feel you guys are more understanding of what I am trying to accomplish then the basic SmartThings Forum members would be willing to assist with.
